We've put together a guide that covers everything from the basics like "What are fitted sheets?" to how to easily fold fitted sheets - we've got you covered in this article:

What are fitted sheets and how do you fold a fitted sheet?

Afitted sheet is a sheet with elasticated corners that fits snugly over a mattress. It has elasticated bands at the corners to tightly cover the mattress and keep it in place. A fitted sheet helps protect your mattress from dirt and stains. The fitted sheet is designed to cover the mattress tightly in the right place. The function of the fitted sheet is to protect the mattress and provide you with a smooth, soft sleeping surface. To ensure you are comfortable on your fitted sheet, it is important that the mattress has the right dimensions and that the pockets are deep so that the fitted sheet stays in place.

Correct sizes for fitted sheets

Getting the right size is important because nothing is as important as getting the right measurements. If your mattress is larger than standard size, you may need to go up a size. You can avoid fitted sheets coming loose from the corners by investing some time in finding well-fitting sheets that are designed for the size of your mattress. We've made it easy for you by listing the sizes of fitted sheets.

Types of fabrics for fitted sheets or flat sheets

Both organic and man-made fabrics for fitted sheets are available in the market. Choosing the right one can be difficult, but you must always consider your surroundings when it comes to the fabric of a bed sheet.

Washing fitted sheets

Taking care of your fitted sheet is important because you expect it to last a long time. Plus, over the course of a week, the sheet accumulates dirt, sweat, dead skin cells and dust mites.

We have created this handy guide to help you wash your fitted sheet.

• Select a gentle cycle in the washing machine and tumble dry on a low setting.
• Unfold the fitted sheet instead of rolling it up so that it can be washed easily and without wrinkles.
• Wash fitted sheets separately to avoid lint and wrinkles.
• Add detergent to the water instead of pouring it directly onto the fitted sheet/bedding.
• Keep colors bright by not using bleach to avoid color loss.
• Use warm water and a mild detergent to ensure softness and durability.
• Wash the bed sheet in hot water (60° C) to eliminate any dust mites/bacteria. If you want extra soft fitted sheets, you can add fabric softener to the rinse cycle.
• Remove the sheet from the washer and dryer quickly to avoid wrinkles.
• We recommend line drying to avoid wrinkles.
• Remove the sheets from the dryer slightly damp and then lay them on the bed by hand to minimize wrinkles.
• Steam iron your pillowcases and sheets to make them feel like new again.
• Wash your fitted sheets once a week to ensure smooth sheets and a restful sleep.

Maintaining hygienic care of your bed linen is a good practice that everyone should follow.
