Where Can You Find Custom Made Fitted Sheets?

If you have a standard size bed, your bed sheets should be easy to find. But what if your bed is a little different?

The Basics of Bed Sheets

In its most basic form, bed sheets are rectangular pieces of cloth that are used to cover your mattress. In many places around the world, two sheets are used. The sheet that covers the mattress is referred to as a “bottom sheet.” A second sheet, laid on top of the mattress cover, is called a “top sheet” where you can then sleep comfortably in between the two sheets.

Sheets are typically available in two varieties–flat or fitted. The flat sheet is simply a rectangular piece of cloth, hemmed around the edges to stop fraying. You can use it either as a bottom sheet on the mattress with the excess folded in. Or as a top sheet to wrap around you and get snug once you’re in bed. If you go for a fitted sheet it has a singular purpose, that is it is made purely to go on the mattress. Our sheets are cut and made with four corners to help attach to the mattress, we then add elastic all around the hem to help it grip the mattress and stop it moving on the mattress.

Fitted sheets are commonly available in sizes to fit standard mattresses. These being:

• Single
• Double
• Queen
• King

walk into any superstore or high street bedding shop and these are the sizes you will find.  Although occaisionally you may come across Super King or California King size beds, if your lucky.

Bespoke Size Sheets

So if you have a bespoke or non standard bed, or you have an adjustable bed, what do you do? You’ll find it difficult to buy ready-made bed sheets for these types of beds because the sizes vary so widely. Luckily, with the rapid expansion of the internet and online shopping it is possible to find small businesses (like us :D) who can make bed sheets to any size. These Flat & Fitted sheets can be specially made to fit large or extra long beds, extra deep mattresses, or adjustable beds.
A Custom size bed sheet will be cut from the roll to whatever size you need. We make them in a variety of fabrics:

• Poly Cotton (200 Thread Count)
• 100% Egyptian Cotton (200 Thread Count)
• 100% Egyptian Cotton (400 Thread Count)
• 100% Egyptian Cotton (1000 Thread Count)

You can have any of the above in a wide range of colours. As mentioned before, our fitted sheets have the added bonus of elastic all the way around, which is especially helpful with adjustable beds. That means the sheet will not only fit properly, but will actually stay on the bed when it moves. We also add French seams resulting in a long lasting, high quality sheet.

Make sure you get your bed size right

It is important you don’t guess or estimate the size when ordering a bespoke size sheet, you might end up with an ill fitting sheet that will end up wrapping round you in the night. To ensure you receive a sheet that fits perfectly you MUST measure the mattress. Simply measure the mattress length from top to bottom; then the width from left to right across the widest part of the bed, and finally, the mattress depth. Record each measurement. It might make measuring easier if you have someone help to hold the tape measure. Also, when measuring be sure to keep the tape measure as flat as possible so you can be as accurate as possible.

Remember, when ordering custom made sheets, that it does take time for us to make them to your specifications.
In the end, though, the short wait will be worth it. You’ll be sleeping on a perfectly made sheet that stays in place while you sleep.
