What size top sheet for two single beds together?

We are going to family place soon. It is lovely, but the master bedroom is two singles together. That's not a problem as each bed has its own fitted sheet.

HOWEVER, there are only single top sheets and that is such a pain, for many reasons (lol).

Was just wondering what size top sheet would be the right size (with a bit of give) instead of two separate ones. I hope I am making sense here....

Would it be King or Super King do you think?

We are going to bring a pair of them next time for our comfort!!

Thanks.

I would say Superking unless they are 2'6 singles.

A single mattress is 90cm wide so you need a super king size sheet (180cm). Super king size is also 10cm longer than a single so you will have a bit of extra length.

A standard single is 3'. A superking is 6'. But longer.

Yes, superking is 3 foot singles,king is 2 foot 6 singles.

Thanks Chicken....

I think they are 3ft each, stupidly forgot to measure before leaving last time!

But in any event, I suppose a Super King is best, just didn't want the top sheet to be trailing on the ground after sleeping.

I'll get two super kings so. They are on special anyway in the end Summer sales here. Thanks again.

Ha, clearly I'm the only one who thinks in cm and not ft!

The singles are probably 3' (which is standard) unless they feel particularly narrow.
