Fitted Sheets Affect the Quality of Our Sleep
Bedding made from wonderfully soft materials ensures a royal sleeping experience, so your fitted sheets should be soft too. When choosing fitted sheets, it’s important to consider a few key factors to make sure you find the perfect match. Below are answers to some of the most common questions people have before buying.
Which Fitted Sheet Is Right for My Bed?
Since beds come in many sizes, so do fitted sheets. Before purchasing, check the dimensions of your mattress. The size of the fitted sheet must match the size of your mattress. It’s best to use a measuring tape to confirm your mattress size. Most people sleep on a standard-size mattress:
-
Single bed: 200 x 90 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 90 cm
-
French bed: 200 x 120 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 120 cm
-
French bed: 200 x 140 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 140 cm
-
French bed: 200 x 160 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 160 cm
-
Double bed: 200 x 180 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 180 cm
-
Double bed: 200 x 200 cm
→ Fitted sheet needed: 200 x 200 cm
Benefits of Elastic Fitted Sheets
Both flat and fitted sheets have their advantages. Fitted sheets with elastic are easy to put on and stay securely in place while you sleep. Flat sheets are more versatile—they can also be used as lightweight summer covers or decorative bed layers. Flat sheets are easier to fold, but with a simple trick, fitted sheets can be folded just as neatly.
Materials and Care
If you love softness and smoothness, cotton satin fitted sheets are the perfect choice. They can be washed at 60°C and tumble-dried. For extra shine, you can iron them—though it’s not necessary.
Thanks to their durability and easy maintenance, they’re also suitable for allergy and asthma sufferers. For even greater protection against dust mites, consider an anti-allergy mattress cover made from advanced Evolon fabric, which has been proven to reduce allergic reactions.
What Color Fitted Sheet Should You Choose?
The choice of color is entirely up to you. You might go for a universal color, like white, which can be paired with many duvet covers, or pick a bolder shade for a pop of color. All Odeja fitted sheets are designed in shades that complement our bedding collections, so it’s easy to create a coordinated look in your bedroom.
