The Hotel Sheet says "Don't fight the fit!"

Feeling the dread when changing your sheets? You are not alone.

We’ve all been there, and we have the hints to help you in your 'fit' journey; to make it a simple, pleasurable experience, that will ensure you enjoy the days when it comes to fitting your sheets. Read on…

Let’s make sure you have the right size first. With mattresses offering customers a variant of heights, it is now important to know the height of your mattress as well as the size. A quick measure before ordering will do the trick – and we make it easy by offering two sizes – 32cm height for a standard fit (a 40cm fitted pocket), and 42cm height for a deep-base fit (a 50cm pocket).

THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION – GO FROM FITTED TO FLAT! 

There is a very valid reason why hotels don’t use fitted sheets! Flat sheets allow you the option to ‘rotate’ your sheets, doubling the life of your sheets. On changing day, simply move your top sheet to your bottom sheet, and pop a fresh sheet on top. Wash your bottom sheet, and so the cycle goes! Almost all the wear lands on the bottom sheet, so if that is a fitted sheet, your whole set wears out through one piece. Rotating two flat sheets spreads that wear and doubles their life.

A top sheet only tucks in at the bottom and folds at the top, so it is rarely long enough to tuck end-to-end. A proper flat sheet is longer, so you can tuck it in all the way round.
