Double Bedding & Bedding Sets

Can you buy small double bedding?

Yes. Soak&Sleep offers small double bedding (suitable for beds which measure 120cm x 190cm / 4ft x 6ft 3"). We also sell European specialist sized bedding which measures 140cm x 200cm / 4ft 7" x 6ft 6".

How do you wash double bedding?

Wash your double bed sheets regularly – at least once a fortnight. If you’re a hot sleeper or the weather’s especially warm, you may find you need to wash your bedsheets more often. Wash double bedding in the same way that you would wash other sized bed linen.

1. Choose the best detergent for the product you are washing. Powder detergents are best for white bed linen and specialist liquid/gel detergents that are formulated for coloured fabrics are best for coloured bed linen.

2. If you can, hang your bedlinen to dry. Drying it outside in the sunshine can help keep whites looking bright. It’s also better for the environment than using a tumble dryer.

3. If you prefer to iron your double bedding, do so while it’s slightly damp. This will make it easier to remove creases for a pristine finish.

What size is double bedding?

A double bed measures 135cm x 190cm (or 4ft 6" x 6ft 3"). To fit a double bed properly, you need double bed sized linen.

How to store bed linen?

Store your bedlinen once it’s completely dry. Neatly folded bed linen looks lovely, but if you’re tight on space, roll it up so you can fit more into your cupboard or drawer. Airing cupboards are a great choice for storing your double bedlinen, but if that’s not an option for you, then how about storing it in the relevant bedroom at the bottom of a wardrobe or in a chest of drawers so it’s easy to locate when you next change the sheets.

What’s included in your double bedding sets?

A Soak&Sleep double bedding set includes a duvet and two matching pillowcases. It’s an easy way to get a matching set for your double bed without needing to locate matching pillows. You can also buy double bedding bundle sets. These include a matching duvet, two pillowcases and fitted sheet. Our double bedding bundle sets include a small discount compared to buying the items individually, making this a great value way to upgrade your bedroom with new, co-ordinated bed linen.

Does double bedding fit a small double bed?

Small double beds measure 120cm x 190cm, compared to 135cm x 190cm for regular double beds; a 15cm difference in length. Although double bedding is typically designed for standard-sized double beds, it will also fit a small double bed. That’s because a double duvet is designed to fit a double duvet, not the mattress. A standard double fitted sheet will be slightly too long for a small double bed, but the elasticated edges allow you to tuck the extra length under the mattress for a neat and comfortable sleeping surface.
