To know your bedding size, measure your mattress's width, length, and depth using a tape measure. Compare these measurements to standard bedding sizes (twin, full, queen, king, etc.). Remember, depth is key for fitted sheets. If your mattress is extra thick, you might need deep pocket sheets. Always check bedding packaging for dimensions, and when in doubt, choose a larger size to accommodate any mattress cover or pad you might use for extra comfort.
