King size sheets are bedding sets specifically designed to fit king size mattresses, typically measuring 183 cm wide × 203 cm long in Australian homes. They include fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and sometimes duvet covers, designed to cover the mattress snugly while providing comfort and durability.
