Formula

Fabric width needed = bed width + 24" (12" drop each side). Cutting length = 78" bed + 20" (tuck + hems) = 98". Meters to buy = 98 ÷ 39.37 = 2.49 m per sheet. If fabric width needed exceeds the than width (44"/58"), buy double meters and seam two panels.

Worked example

For a 72" double bed: fabric width needed = 96", cutting length 98", meters = 2.49 m. Since 96" exceeds even 58" wide fabric, buy 2 × 2.49 = 4.98 m and seam two panels — or buy ready-made 108"-wide sheeting. A 54" single bed needs 78" width: fits in 90"-wide sheeting with 2.49 m.
