Every once in a while, there is a discussion on this group
about sizes for sheets. I was poking around online trying
to find *flat* flannel sheets (not sets) to make light
weight blankets, and wanted to know approximately what each
size designation would provide in terms of actual fabric, so
I did a little googling and found this site:
http://interiordec.about.com/cs/beds/l/blbedsizes.htm
which has mattress sizes as well as "standard" sheet sizes
in the US.

NAYY, hope someone else finds it useful, too

Yes, thank you. With a California or Western king sized bed, I have to
be aware constantly when buying bedding. Around here, you can't buy the
regular king bed except by special order, yet the stores stock bedding
for them and often don't have California king sizes. This puzzles me.

How helpful to have all those measurements in one easy-to-find place!
Thanks, Beverley.

I am in FL and a lot of stores here no longer carry linens for regular
size beds. The last comforter I bought was for a "queen/regular" and
it is much wider than the old ones. Don't know what a fitted sheet
would be like but I suppose I will find out soon...the ones I have
really need to be replaced.
