Guide
A considered fit begins with the space you already have. Use this guide to understand which measurements matter when choosing bedding, cushions, pillows and other LoomHaven textile essentials.
Exact sizing can vary between individual products and styles. Always compare your measurements with the size information provided for the item you are considering.
Start With the Space
Measure first. Layer with confidence.
Textile sizing is easiest to understand when you begin with the mattress, insert or surface the textile will be used with. Measure the space itself rather than relying only on a familiar size name.
Think about the finished look as well as the fit. A duvet may need enough width for the drape you prefer, while a cushion cover should correspond closely with the insert it will hold.
Three measurements make the difference.
Use a flexible measuring tape where possible and record each measurement before comparing it with the textile product you plan to choose.
Measure Width
Measure from one side to the other at the widest relevant point. For beds, use the mattress width. For cushions, measure straight across the insert or cover.
Measure Length
Measure the full usable length of the mattress, textile insert or surface. Keep the measuring tape straight so the result reflects the area the product needs to cover.
Consider Depth
For fitted bedding and mattress protection, depth is especially important. Measure from the lower edge of the mattress to its top surface.
What to measure for each textile.
Different home textile categories use different reference points. Start with the item or surface the product will sit on, around or inside.
Sheets & Bedding
Measure the mattress width, length and depth. For fitted pieces, mattress depth is especially important when determining how the textile will sit around the mattress.
Comforters & Duvets
Begin with mattress width and length, then consider how much coverage you prefer along the sides and foot of the bed. The finished look can feel tailored or relaxed depending on the amount of drape.
Pillows & Pillow Covers
Measure the pillow or insert from seam to seam across its width and height. Compare these dimensions directly with the cover you intend to use.
Decorative Cushions
Measure the cushion insert at its widest and tallest points. Square, rectangular and elongated cushions should be compared by their actual dimensions rather than visual proportion alone.
Bed Back Cushions
Measure the available width behind the bed and consider the height you want the cushion to reach. Compare the product dimensions with the usable support area.
Mattress Comfort & Protection
Record mattress width, length and full depth. If another comfort layer remains on the mattress during use, consider the combined profile when checking fit.
Table Linens & Fabric Decor
Measure the tabletop length and width, then decide how much fabric you want to extend beyond the edge. For round surfaces, measure across the widest point through the center.
Compare the right measurements.
| Product Type | Measure First | Also Consider | Fit Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedding | Mattress width and length | Mattress depth | Coverage around the mattress |
| Duvets & Comforters | Mattress width and length | Preferred side and foot coverage | Drape and visual proportion |
| Pillows & Covers | Insert width and height | Insert shape | Cover and insert correspondence |
| Decorative Cushions | Insert width and height | Square or rectangular proportion | Balanced finished shape |
| Bed Back Cushions | Available bed width | Preferred support height | Proportion across the bed |
| Mattress Protection | Mattress width and length | Total mattress depth | Coverage around the mattress profile |
| Table Linens | Tabletop width and length | Preferred fabric drop | Coverage and visual balance |
This reference explains which measurements to compare. It does not replace the exact sizing information associated with an individual LoomHaven product.
The details worth checking twice.
A familiar size name can be useful, but actual measurements give you a clearer picture of how a textile will sit within your space.
Measure the Item
Use the mattress, insert or surface itself as your starting point instead of estimating from appearance.
Check the Shape
Square, rectangular, elongated and round formats should be compared using measurements that correspond to their actual shape.
Think About Drape
Bedding and table linens can create a different visual result depending on how far the textile extends beyond the surface.
Compare Exactly
Before ordering, compare your measurements directly with the size information associated with the specific item.
A final check for a more considered fit.
Keep your measurements nearby while reviewing a LoomHaven item. The right choice should work with both the dimensions of your space and the way you want the finished textile layer to look.
Confirm width and length
Measure the actual mattress, insert or surface you plan to use.
Check depth where relevant
Mattress depth can affect the way fitted bedding and protection sit.
Consider the finished look
Decide whether you prefer a closer fit or a softer, more relaxed drape.
Compare the specific item
Review the measurements associated with the exact product you are considering.
Thoughtful Fit
The right size should support the room, the textile and the way you want everyday comfort to feel.

Should I choose a product based only on the size name?
It is better to compare actual measurements whenever possible. Familiar size names can be useful reference points, but the measurements associated with the specific product provide more precise information.
How should I measure my mattress?
Measure the mattress across its width, along its full length and from the lower edge to the top surface for depth. Keep the measuring tape straight and measure the mattress itself.
What should I measure for a pillow cover?
Measure the insert from seam to seam across its width and height, then compare those measurements with the cover you are considering. Confirm that the insert and cover also use the same general shape.
How do I choose a duvet or comforter size?
Start with the width and length of your mattress. Then consider how much coverage you would like at the sides and foot of the bed before comparing those needs with the product measurements.
Why does mattress depth matter?
Depth is relevant when a textile needs to fit around the mattress. Measure the complete mattress profile, including any comfort layer that remains in place during normal use.
How should I measure for table linens?
Measure the tabletop width and length. For a round table, measure across the widest point through the center. Then consider how far you would like the textile to extend beyond the table edge.
