Bed Sheet Cut Size Calculator

Take the mattress width and length, add twice the pocket depth to each, then add a grip allowance of around 5cm on each side for the fabric that wraps underneath and holds the sheet on. For a 152 x 203cm queen with a 35cm mattress that comes to roughly 232 x 283cm finished. That is the finished size; the cut size is larger again, because the fabric has to survive its first wash and still measure right.

Almost always pocket depth. A sheet cut for a 25cm mattress will not stay on a 35cm one, and the moment a property adds a mattress topper or protector it has quietly changed the depth without changing the linen spec. Measure the mattress with the topper in place, not the bare mattress, and specify the pocket depth explicitly on the purchase order rather than relying on a size name.

Finished size is what the sheet measures when it is sewn and on the bed. Cut size is what the fabric has to be before it is made up, and it is bigger for two reasons: the hem consumes fabric, and cotton shrinks on its first wash. Order to finished size and you will receive linen that fits perfectly until it is washed, then never fits again. The calculator shows both, and the cut size is what belongs on the spec sheet.

Around 5 to 7% is the conventional allowance for woven cotton, and the default here is 6%. But it is an allowance, not a measurement. The real figure depends on the yarn, the weave, the finishing and how the linen is washed - a sanforised or pre-shrunk fabric moves less, and a high-temperature commercial wash moves more. The only way to know for your fabric is to have a sample sewn to the cut size, wash it once to ISO 6330, and measure it.

A flat sheet needs enough width to cover the mattress and tuck under on both sides, so it is the mattress width plus twice the sum of the depth and the tuck. A 30cm tuck each side is standard for hospitality; less than that and housekeeping cannot make a bed that stays made. Length adds the depth, the tuck at the foot, and a turn-back at the head of around 40cm.

Yes, and it is the most common cause of an unusable first order. A UK king and a US king are not the same bed. Mattress dimensions, standard pillow sizes and whether a market uses flat sheets at all vary by country, so the sizes have to follow the destination rather than the supplier default. The calculator shows the standard sizes for the market you pick alongside your own numbers so you can see where they diverge.

A housewife pillowcase is cut close to the pillow, with just a couple of centimetres of ease. An Oxford has a flat sewn border, typically 5cm, running all the way round, which makes the finished piece about 12cm larger in both directions and gives the bed a more formal look. Oxfords use more fabric and cost more to make up, so the choice is a budget decision as much as an aesthetic one.

Our standard minimum is 500 pcs trial / 2,000 pcs wholesale for towels, 200 sets trial (wholesale threshold to confirm) for bed linen, and 200 pcs trial (wholesale threshold to confirm) for bathrobes. "Per SKU" means per size and colour combination. We can run 500 pcs (trial run, small premium) for a genuine first trial. Below roughly 300 pieces we are honestly the wrong supplier — a loom set-up and a dye lot cost the same whether you order 100 towels or 1,000, so the per-piece price stops making sense for you. At that size a local wholesaler will serve you better, and we would rather tell you that than waste your week.

2 free pcs per spec — you pay courier only. Courier from Kerala to most countries runs $35–$60 via DHL or FedEx and arrives in 7–14 days. We recommend asking for two GSM weights side by side — most buyers change their mind about weight once they hold both. Sample cost is credited back against your first bulk order.

30% advance, 70% against B/L copy — so 70% of your money is still with you when the goods leave the port. You get photos of the actual production run before the balance is due. You can also appoint a third-party inspector (SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, roughly $300–$500 for a single inspection) to check the goods at our factory before you release the balance; we will schedule it and give them access. If a shipment does not match the approved sample, we remake or credit it.

In most countries, no — not for commercial quantities of ordinary cotton textiles. In the US, UK, EU, UAE, Australia and Canada, a business tax or VAT registration number is normally all that is required, and your freight forwarder or customs broker files the entry for you. Some markets do require an importer registration (Saudi Arabia and Egypt among them). Tell us your country and we will tell you plainly what you need before you commit any money.

FOB means the price to get goods loaded onto the ship at Cochin port — freight, duty and local delivery are on top. As a rough guide, sea freight adds $0.15–$0.45 per towel on a shared container and less on a full one; import duty is typically 6–12% depending on your country. We quote CIF (freight included) or DDP (everything included, delivered to your address) on request, so you can compare one final number instead of guessing. Our landed-cost calculator does the arithmetic for you.

Yes, absolutely. Certification is not a hoop we make you jump through — it is simply how we already manufacture. Every piece is made under OEKO-TEX Standard 100 whether you ask for the certificate or not, and it costs you nothing extra. If you do not need the paperwork, do not ask for it and nothing about your order or price changes. Buyers who supply hotel groups or EU retailers usually want the documents; an Airbnb host or a salon owner almost never does.

30–45 days for production, plus shipping. Sea freight is 10–16 days to the Gulf, 22–30 days to Europe and the UK, 28–38 days to the US east coast, and 18–25 days to Australia. Air freight cuts that to 3–5 days but costs roughly 6–8× more per kilo, so it is worth it for samples and rarely worth it for bulk. Plan on about 8–10 weeks door to door for a first sea shipment.

Fair question, and one you should ask everyone. We are a manufacturer in Kerala, India — you can video-call the floor during Indian working hours with no notice, and we will walk the looms and the dye house for you. We will also give you our IEC (Import Export Code) and GST registration to verify independently. A trading company will usually decline a live unscheduled video call, which is the cheapest test you can run on any supplier.

Yes. Woven labels, printed care labels, embroidered logos, custom packaging and retail barcodes are all standard. Logo embroidery adds about $0.30–$0.60 per piece; a custom woven label adds about $0.06–$0.12. Private-label MOQ is 2,000 pieces per SKU rather than 500, because the label and packaging themselves carry a minimum run.
