Queen Size Fitted Sheets

An Australian queen mattress measures 152cm x 203cm, and every Bonny fitted sheet is cut to those measurements — worth knowing, because queen sizing isn't universal and imported sheets often arrive slightly wrong. Depth is the part most people overlook. Measure from the top of your mattress to the bottom of the side panel and include any topper you sleep with, since a 5cm topper turns a 25cm mattress into a 30cm one. Our queen fitted sheets have a [XX]cm wall with elastic around the full perimeter rather than just the corners, which is the difference between a sheet that grips evenly and one that rides up by morning.

On fabric, thread count is close to meaningless above about 400 — higher numbers usually mean thinner yarns twisted together to inflate the figure. Fibre length is what matters, and long-staple cotton spins into a smoother, stronger yarn, which is why ours soften with each wash instead of pilling. It's also the better pick if you sleep hot, since microfibre and polyester trap heat against you. Chocolate and the warmer neutrals hide everyday marks well, while whites and creams are the safer long-term choice if you change your quilt cover often. A complete bed needs a flat sheet and pillowcases too — the queen sheet set bundles all three and works out cheaper than buying separately. Not sure on size?
