Hi there,
I am currently travelling in the USA and need to supply sheets at a house I'm hiring. Can anyone tell me if sheets here fit our beds back home? If they do I will buy some new ones to take home. We have standard singles and a queen size bed. If not we will borrow from family or buy something cheap and cheerful. TIA. |

Not sure, but may be safer to check the measurements of the singles and queen sizes and compare.
Here's some Aussie measurements I grabbed from freckles.com.au: Single Bed Sheet Set - one flat sheet 180 x 254 - one fitted sheet 91 x 190 x 35 - one pillowcase 48 x 73 Queen Bed Sheet Set - one flat sheet 243 x 264 - one fitted sheet 152 x 203 x 35 - two pillowcases 48 x 73 ETA: Found these too: http://www.pureegyptiancotton.com/size This site indicates they should be similar... http://www.overstock.com/guides/internatio...onversion-guide This post has been edited by jamt: 22/06/2012, 02:24 PM |
