One of the most common questions parents ask is whether to buy a single or double kids bed sheet. The answer depends on the mattress measurements, sheet construction and the pack contents. This short guide makes the choice easy.
In this guide
Single Kids Bed Sheet
- Best for: one child on a single bed, bunk beds, trundle beds
- Typical size: around 60 x 90 inches
- Includes: 1 bed sheet + 1 pillow case
Room Decor’s size chart lists the kids single sheet as 60 x 90 inches, with one pillow case. Compare this with your own mattress and the individual product listing; the word single does not guarantee a fit across every bed.
Double Kids Bed Sheet
- Best for: siblings sharing a bed, older children on a larger mattress, or a guest bed in a kids room
- Includes: 1 double bed sheet + 2 pillow cases
Double sheets are great for brothers or sisters who share a room – both children get a pillow case in the same print, which helps avoid arguments.
How to Measure Your Mattress
- Measure the length and width of the mattress top.
- Measure the depth (height) of the mattress.
- Add the depth twice to both the length and width, plus about 6 to 8 inches for tucking in.
Use these measurements as a starting point for a flat sheet, then compare them with the exact sheet dimensions. Fitted sheets need a matching mattress size and pocket depth instead. If the double-sheet dimensions are not listed, confirm them with Room Decor before ordering. See the size chart for the store’s published measurements.
Which Is Better Value?
If your child is young and will stay in a single bed for a few years, buy two single sets so you can rotate them. If you plan to change beds, measure the new mattress before buying; a larger sheet is useful only if its dimensions suit the bed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a double sheet fit a single bed?
It will cover it, but the extra fabric will bunch up underneath. A correctly sized sheet looks neater and is more comfortable.
Do kids bed sheets come with pillow cases?
The store size chart lists one pillow case for kids single sets and two for kids double sets. Confirm the contents on the individual product page before ordering.
