As a company, we at Victoria Linen have been manufacturing bed linens to fit larger and adjustable beds for over 15 years. We are often asked the question, “why do linens for my adjustable bed have to be different?” . Most people who purchase these beds dont realise it at the time but standard linens bought from the supermarket will not stay on these beds once they start to move. Mass produced bed linens are made to fit only standard single, double, king and kingize beds, these are usually 3′ x 6’3″, 4’6″ x 6’3″, 5′ x 6’6″ and 6′ x 6’6″ sizes respectively and usually with a mattress depth of around 5″.
Adjustable beds contain a lot of mechanics for moving the bed and these are housed in the base, because of this they tend to be slightly longer (a standard single adjustable bed is 3′ x 6’6″ for example) so standard linens will not fit, the mattress also will tend to be between 8 and 10 inches in depth, a lot deeper than a standard bed.
Linens for these types of beds need to be made to measure and also need to be elasticated all the way round. At Victoria Linen we ensure all sheets and mattress protectors are made with extra deep corners to accomodate the mattress as well as elastication all the way round to hold it in place when the bed is moving.
