What Is Caesar Bedding?
Caesar bedding is designed for exceptionally large beds, typically around 8ft wide. Because a Caesar mattress is considerably wider than a standard UK King or Super King, conventional fitted sheets, duvet covers and other bed linen usually do not provide the correct fit.
Our Caesar bedding range brings together specialist bed linen made for these oversized mattresses, allowing you to choose the individual pieces you need or create a coordinated bedding set.
Oversized bed terminology can vary between manufacturers, so we always recommend checking the exact width, length and mattress depth before ordering fitted bedding.
What Size Is a Caesar Bed?
A Caesar bed is commonly described as an 8ft bed, with mattresses often approximately 244 to 245cm wide. The exact length can vary depending on the manufacturer.
For that reason, the name “Caesar” should be treated as a useful bed-size category rather than an absolute measurement. When ordering a fitted sheet or mattress protector, use the actual mattress dimensions whenever possible.
If you are researching the size itself before choosing a bed, see our Caesar bed size and bedding guide.
Caesar Fitted Sheets
A correctly sized fitted sheet is especially important on an 8ft mattress. Standard sheets may pull away from the corners, ride up during the night or simply be impossible to fit across the full width of the bed.
Our Caesar fitted sheets are available in a selection of fabrics and mattress depths, including options for deeper mattresses and beds used with substantial toppers.
Because mattress depth can vary significantly on luxury oversized beds, measure from the top sleeping surface to the bottom of the mattress before choosing your sheet depth.
Caesar Flat Sheets
Flat sheets offer another flexible option for an oversized bed. They can be used as a traditional top sheet or underneath the sleeper and are cut generously to provide sufficient width for an 8ft bed.
Our Caesar flat sheets are available in a range of fabrics, including easy-care options, cotton percale, sateen and luxury high thread count cotton.
Caesar Duvets - 320 x 235cm
A standard UK duvet can look and feel too narrow on a Caesar bed. Our specialist Caesar duvets measure 320 x 235cm, providing significantly greater coverage across a large 8ft bed.
Choose from hollowfibre, duck feather & down, goose down and premium Hungarian goose down fillings, with different tog ratings available for warmer and colder seasons.
If you already own an oversized duvet, check its measurements before ordering a replacement because Caesar duvet sizing can vary between retailers.
Caesar Duvet Covers
A specialist duvet needs a correctly sized cover. Our Caesar duvet covers are made for oversized duvets and are available in a wide range of fabrics and finishes.
Options include easy-care polycotton, crisp 100% cotton percale, smooth sateen, bamboo blends and premium high thread count cotton.
For easier duvet changes, selected covers can also be made with alternative closure options.
Caesar Bedding Sets
If you would rather buy coordinated bedding together, our Caesar bedding sets and bundles make it easier to combine matching sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases.
Alternatively, choose each item separately from this Caesar bedding collection to create your preferred combination of fabric, colour and bedding style.
Choosing the Right Fabric for Your Caesar Bed Linen
Because a Caesar bed uses a substantial amount of fabric, the feel and performance of your bed linen can make a noticeable difference to comfort.
Easy Care Polycotton
A practical choice for everyday bedding. Polycotton combines the breathability of cotton with polyester for easier washing, quicker drying and reduced creasing.
100% Cotton Percale
Cotton percale has a cool, crisp feel and is ideal if you prefer breathable bed linen with a traditional fresh finish.
Cotton Sateen
Sateen has a smoother, silkier surface than percale and works particularly well for customers looking for a softer, more luxurious feel.
Bamboo & Cotton
Bamboo and cotton blends provide a soft, smooth and breathable sleeping surface and are popular with customers looking for comfortable bedding with good moisture management.
Luxury High Thread Count Cotton
For the premium end of the range, our high thread count cotton fabrics offer a smooth, substantial finish suited to large luxury beds.
Caesar Bedding for Deep Mattresses
Many Caesar beds use deeper mattresses, pillow-top constructions or mattress toppers. These can increase the overall mattress depth considerably.
When buying fitted bedding, measure the mattress carefully rather than assuming that a standard pocket depth will fit. Our made-to-order fitted sheets can accommodate a wide range of mattress depths, helping the sheet remain securely fitted around the corners.
If a topper sits permanently underneath your fitted sheet, include it when measuring the total depth you need the sheet to cover.
Caesar vs Super Caesar Bedding
Caesar and Super Caesar are not the same size. A Caesar bed is usually around 8ft wide, while a Super Caesar can be around 9ft wide.
If your mattress is closer to 270cm wide, see our Super Caesar 9ft bedding rather than ordering by the standard Caesar name.
You can also read our Super Caesar bed size guide for a detailed explanation of the dimensions.
Caesar vs Emperor Bedding
An Emperor bed is generally smaller than a Caesar bed. Common Emperor mattresses include 200 x 200cm and other oversized variations, while Caesar beds are typically around 8ft / 244cm wide.
If you have an Emperor rather than a Caesar, browse our Emperor bedding collection for appropriately sized sheets, duvet covers and other bed linen.
Our Caesar vs Emperor bed guide explains the differences in more detail.
