To measure bed size for bed sheets, start by using a tape measure to determine the mattress's width and length. Measure from edge to edge for both dimensions. For sheet depth, measure the mattress height including any toppers. Compare these dimensions with standard sizes like Twin, Full, Queen, or King to find the right sheet size. Always double-check with your sheet’s packaging to ensure compatibility. A proper fit ensures comfort and prevents shifting during the night.
