FAQ's
A fitted sheet is a type of bed sheet with elastic edges designed to hug your mattress tightly, keeping the sheet securely in place throughout the night.
Match your fitted sheet to the mattress size—Single, Double, King, or Super King—and always check the mattress depth to ensure a proper fit.
Choosing the right fitted sheet depends on your mattress size and its depth. Here's a helpful size chart to guide you:
| Mattress Size | Fitted Sheets Size (W x L) | Depth (CM) |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 x 190 cm | 25 (Standard) 40 (Deep) |
| Double | 137 x 190 cm | 25 (Standard) 40 (Deep) |
| King | 150 x 200 cm | 25 (Standard) 40 (Deep) |
| Super King | 180 x 200 cm | 25 (Standard) 40 (Deep) |
This ensures the sheet fits snugly without slipping off or bunching up, no matter the bed size.
If your fitted sheet keeps creeping up or coming loose, it's usually because it doesn’t match the depth of your mattress—or the elastic isn’t strong enough. To stop that from happening: - Get the right depth: Your fitted sheet should match or slightly exceed your mattress depth - Tuck it properly: Make sure all corners are fully tucked under the mattress - Use sheet straps or grippers: These affordable tools hold your sheet tightly in place, especially on deeper mattresses - Look for strong elastic: Good quality fitted sheets—like ours—have reinforced elastic for a better grip When the fit is right, your bed stays neat and your sleep stays uninterrupted.
For freshness and hygiene, we recommend washing your fitted sheet once a week using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.
Ironing a fitted sheet requires patience due to its elastic edges. Follow these steps:
- Wash and Dry Properly: Start slightly damp for easier ironing.
- Set Up Iron: Use the correct heat setting and steam.
- Flatten the Sheet: Lay it inside out on the ironing board, stretching each corner taut.
- Iron in Sections: Avoid the elastic; work from edges toward the center.
- Focus on the Middle: Smooth the flat fabric with straight iron strokes.
- Fold Neatly: Fold while warm to prevent wrinkles.
Tips: Use a large surface, steam stubborn wrinkles, or opt for a fabric steamer for quicker results.
