Fitted Sheets FAQs
What exactly is a fitted sheet, and how is it different from a flat sheet?
A fitted sheet has elasticated corners that hug your mattress, giving you a neatly made bed with far less faff. A flat sheet, in contrast, is simply draped over the mattress or used as a top sheet. While flat sheets offer versatility, fitted sheets are shaped for staying put, creating a smoother surface to sleep on (no more midnight sheet-wrestling).
How do I choose the right fitted sheet depth for my mattress?
To choose the right fitted sheet depth for your mattress, measure from the base to the top, including any mattress toppers. Your sheet should match or slightly exceed this depth. Standard mattresses tend to be 25–30cm deep, but extra-deep ones can go up to 40cm. Look out for deep or extra-deep fitted sheets to avoid slipping corners or overstretched seams.
What's the easiest way to fold a fitted sheet neatly?
The easiest way to fold a fitted sheet is to tuck its elastic corners into each other, flatten it into a rectangle, then fold it into a tidy square. It’s less origami, more a clever corner trick. Once you’ve got the knack, it takes seconds and saves serious cupboard space. For visual learners, a quick video search helps more than a thousand words.
How can I stop my fitted sheet from popping off the mattress?
If your fitted sheet keeps popping off, it’s likely too shallow or has tired elastic. Look for deep-pocket designs suited to your mattress depth, and go for sheets with strong elastic that runs all the way around. A proper fit should hold firm without fiddly adjustments. Sheet straps are an option, but a well-sized sheet rarely needs them.
Which fitted sheets are the most durable and built to last?
The most durable fitted sheets use sturdy natural fibres like long-staple organic cotton or linen, woven tightly to resist wear and tear. Look for reinforced seams and elastic all the way round for extra staying power. Some brands even back their sheets with up to a 5-year guarantee. With a bit of TLC, good ones can last well beyond that.
How should I care for fitted sheets to keep them soft and strong?
To keep your fitted sheets soft and strong, wash at 30–40°C with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. Line drying is gentlest, but if you tumble dry, choose low heat. High temperatures can weaken elastic and wear out fibres faster. For more tips, pop over to our Product Care & Repair articles.
What sizes of fitted sheets are available, and how do I find the right fit?
Fitted sheets come in standard sizes like single, double, king, and super king - but depth matters too. Measure your mattress carefully and check the listing for both width and pocket depth. A too shallow sheet will pop off, while one that’s too deep may bunch. Mattress sizing charts help, or explore options in our durable bed linen collection.
