Long Single Bedding
Split King Bedding
What size do I need for my adjustable Bed?
There are typically 3 different sizes of adjustable beds. They are:
- Long Single
- Split King
- Split Queen
A long single mattress is around 91cm wide and 203cm long, meaning it is a bit longer than your standard single mattresses, and thinner than a king single mattress. If you have this size mattress, you need to look out for long single bedding.
A split king bed is two long single mattresses pushed together. That means each mattress is around 91cm wide and 203cm long, but together measures at around 183cm wide and 203cm long. This is similar sizing to a standard king mattress. If you have this size bed, you need to look out for split king bedding, and long single bedding for your individual mattresses.
A split queen bed is similar to a split king, but has smaller individual mattresses. They measure at around 76cm wide and 203cm long. You will need to buy split queen bedding if you have this bed.
So now you know which bed you have, let's take a look at which bedding you need in 7 easy steps!
1. Mattress & Pillow Protectors
The first bedding item we would recommend you consider for your adjustable bed is a mattress protector! This will keep your mattress clean and will help extend the life of your mattress. They are also great for those with allergies as they help protect against irritants such as bed bugs, bed mould and dust mites.
You can also get waterproof protectors that will prevent spills from damaging your new mattress. You should also consider a protector for your pillow, which has all the same benefits as our mattress protectors but instead is made to fit over your pillow, ensuring the longevity of your pillow

2. Mattress Toppers
The next item we would consider would be a mattress topper! These toppers add an extra comfy layer of material on top of your mattress, which is perfect if you find your mattress is a bit too firm.
Or alternatively if you have an old mattress that is starting to sag or your new mattress is a bit too soft, our toppers can help firm up and bring new life to your mattress. We find that toppers are quite comfortable and supportive and help you relax in the right sleep position. These toppers also have a fitted skirt to help stay secure to the mattress on your adjustable bases.

3. Electric Blankets
This one is more so for those cold winter nights where you just want to slip into a bed that is nice and warm! These blankets also have a fitted skirt so they stay attached to your bed throughout the night.

4. Bed Sheets
Now that you have all the mattress-related items sorted, it's time to look at the next stage of your bedding, the sheets! Here at My Linen we stock a wide variety of sheet sets, in all different materials, colours and sizes. We also happen to have one of the largest ranges of adjustable bed sheets in Australia. There are three things to consider when buying bed sheets for your bed. The fitted sheet, the flat sheet & the pillowcases. Let's take a look at each adjustable bed size individually as you can pick and choose which items you'd like on your bed.
One thing to note, every manufacturer has slightly different sizing, so always check to see if the sheets you are looking at are right for you.
- Long Single
- Split King
- Split Queen

The next layer on your bed that we would recommend, especially in the colder winter months, is a nice blanket! Adding layers of bedding is the best way to keep cosy and warm as you sleep as it helps trap heat in as you sleep. My Linen has a wide variety of materials, colours and sizes to choose from, so we are sure you will find something that you love!

6. Quilt Covers & Bedspreads
Arguably one of the most important aspects of your bed is how it looks! Here at My Linen we have over 500 different designs for you to choose from, in a variety of colours and patterns. When choosing a decorative bed covering, there are two options:
Quilt Covers
Decorative covers that require a quilt or doona insert. These are the most popular bed covering option.
Bedspreads & Coverlets
Decorative covers that don't require an insert as they are already quilted. These are a great option for those who don't want to deal with an insert that can move around inside a decorative cover.
When it comes to getting the right size, it depends on how you want your room to look! Here is what we would recommend for each size bed:
- Long Single
- Split King
- Split Queen
For a long single bed, we would recommend you choose the following:
