-- In response to increasing global attention on its mulberry silk products, Mayfairsilk has published a sizing guide to assist international buyers in choosing appropriately sized bedding for their mattresses and pillows. The guide includes charts comparing UK and US sizes and also covers nonstandard sizes for cushions and Euro shams.

Silk bedding offers more benefits for skin and hair care compared to conventional fabrics. Unlike cotton, which can draw moisture away from the skin and hair, silk is less absorbent, helping the body retain its natural moisture. Silk fibres are also much smoother than those of other textiles, reducing friction - these combined properties can potentially reduce wrinkles, hair tangles, and skin irritation.
However, Mayfairsilk says that properly sized bedding is an important factor in comfort, as ill-fitting sheets may require constant readjustments throughout the night, leading to interrupted sleep. Similarly, pillowcases that are too small may squeeze pillows and cause them to contort, while pillowcases that are too large can result in excess fabric, reducing comfort. To ensure overseas buyers purchase correctly sized bedding, the company provides a sizing guide for pillowcases, duvet covers, deep fitted sheets, and flat sheets required for standard pillows and mattresses; local customers can also use this guide to ensure they select the sizes they need.
As a baseline, the resource says that a standard pillowcase in the UK measures 50 cm by 75 cm (20 x 30 inches), while the larger UK “Super King” measures 50 cm by 90 cm (20 x 36 inches); these are equivalent to US Queen and US King sizes, respectively. For beds, a UK Standard mattress has dimensions of 90 cm by 190 cm (35.43 x 74.8 inches) and requires a duvet cover of 140 cm by 200 cm (55 inches by 79 inches), a deep-fitted sheet of 90 cm by 190 cm by 35 cm (35 x 75 x 13.7 inches), and a flat sheet of 180 cm by 275 cm (71 x 108 inches) - roughly meeting the sizing requirements of a US twin-sized bed.
To ensure they purchase the correct size, Mayfairsilk recommends that customers use a tape measure to determine the dimensions of their mattress and pillows.
