Long Narrow Single Sheets

A long narrow single fitted sheet (75cm x 200cm) is needed for tall adults or teenagers using bunk beds, cabin beds, or narrow single frames where the mattress is both narrower than a standard single (75cm rather than 90cm) and longer than a standard single (200cm rather than 190cm).

This size is most commonly found in European-specification bunk beds and cabin beds designed for taller users, and in some custom-built children's bedroom furniture where the bed frame is narrower than standard UK dimensions. If your bunk bed mattress is 75cm wide and 190cm long, you need a standard narrow single sheet. If it is 75cm wide and 200cm long, you need the long narrow single. Measure both dimensions before purchasing.

A long narrow single measures 75cm x 200cm. A standard narrow single (bunk bed) measures 75cm x 190cm - the same width but 10cm shorter. The two sizes use different fitted sheets which are not interchangeable.

A standard narrow single fitted sheet placed on a long narrow single mattress will be 10cm too short and will pull free from either the head or foot end. Always measure the length of your narrow mattress before purchasing: 190cm is standard narrow single, 200cm is long narrow single. The duvet cover is the same for both sizes (standard single 135cm x 200cm), so only the fitted sheet and mattress protector need to be size-specific.

To fully dress a long narrow single bed, you need a long narrow single fitted sheet, a standard single duvet cover, and one pillowcase. The fitted sheet must be specifically sized for the long narrow single (75cm x 200cm).

The complete long narrow single bed bedding list:

• Fitted sheet (75cm x 200cm) - must be specifically labelled as long narrow single

• Duvet cover (135cm x 200cm) - standard single size fits correctly

• Pillowcase - standard UK pillow is 48cm x 74cm; one required

• Flat sheet (150cm x 290cm) - optional

• Mattress protector - confirm it is long narrow single size (75cm x 200cm)

This is a specialist size - confirm availability before purchasing and measure your mattress carefully to confirm you need the long narrow single rather than the standard narrow single (75cm x 190cm).

Long narrow single sheets (75cm x 200cm) are a specialist size stocked by very few UK bedding brands. Belledorm is one of the few manufacturers to offer this size in the UK market.

The combination of narrow width (75cm) and extended length (200cm) makes this one of the most specialist sizes in the UK bedding range. If you cannot find this size, measure your mattress carefully - you may have a standard narrow single (75cm x 190cm) or a standard long single (90cm x 200cm) rather than the long narrow single, both of which have wider availability. Contact Belledorm directly if you are unsure which size you need.

A long narrow single measures 75cm x 200cm. A long single measures 90cm x 200cm - the same length but 15cm wider. Both are 200cm long but differ in width.

The long single (90cm x 200cm) is for tall adults who use a standard-width single bed and need extra length. The long narrow single (75cm x 200cm) is for tall adults using a narrow bunk bed or cabin bed frame where the mattress width is 75cm rather than the standard 90cm. If your mattress is 90cm wide, you need a long single sheet. If it is 75cm wide, you need a long narrow single sheet. The two sizes are not interchangeable for fitted sheets.
