Collection: Fitted Sheets

Duvet Covers and Fitted Sheets

Fitted sheets are a very useful type of sheet for any bedroom or guest room. They are quite literally fitted to a mattress and come in two separate pieces, the cover sheet and the sleeper's sheet. Both parts of the fitted sheet are generally the same, consisting of a cloth or polyester under layer and the adjacent matching sleeper fabric or down alternative. If you have never seen these sheets, don't be disheartened - they are very different from your conventional un-fitted sheets. Here are a few descriptions of how they differ, so you can make an informed choice about whether to opt for them for yourself or your bedding.

Fitted sheets are made to suit your bed and its furnishings. They are designed so that the corners of the bed are tucked in, thus hiding any unsightly gap between mattress rails and the sides of your bed. Because they fit tightly to each other, they will not slip even if you have a lot of people in your bed at once. They are usually very carefully fitted, taking into account not only the corners of the bed but also the extra fabric at the edges around the mattress. This helps the sheets remain securely in place around your bed.

Because fitted sheets are designed to cover the entire mattress, they usually come in a standardised single colour scheme. The popular ones are usually in white, cream, or off-white. Whatever colour scheme you prefer, you can generally find sheets in this same colour scheme with various degrees of matching and contrasting fabrics.

Because fitted sheets are custom-made to fit the bed, they usually cost more than traditional sheets. You can often choose a custom-made design or mix and match fabrics and designs to suit your tastes and budget. If you are lucky enough to have an elastic band running from one corner of the mattress to another on your bed, the cost will be even lower. When choosing an elastic band for your bed, you must consider whether it runs alongside your mattress or runs under it. The former is much cheaper but may leave marks on your mattress if the fabric is too thick, whereas the latter can be very unattractive and can be distracting.

Because fitted sheets are not as cheap as other types of bedding, you must choose them with care. They should fit well, feel comfortable when using and look great. It is important to measure the mattress topper to make sure you buy the right size. Some manufacturers offer free samples so that you can try out their products before buying them.

While a fitted sheet looks like a traditional blanket, it is not actually a blanket. Fitted sheets are actually a type of quilted bedding that has been sewn together, just like a traditional quilt. This type of bedding was quite popular in Victorian times, as they were highly sought after because they did not stick out from the floor. They were created to meet the needs of pregnant women who had to shift during their pregnancy, which was common at the time and quite embarrassing for some ladies. Today, many people want to retain the traditional look of a quilt without having to deal with heavy shifting.

Duvet covers are similar to fitted sheets in that they are also created to go over the mattress. The difference between the two is that the former does not come with a zipper and is typically left open in order to allow for easier movement. Duvets are made to cover the entire bed, much like quilts. Duvet covers also do much in terms of protecting the duvet itself, from stains and damaging juices.

Although these bedding items seem relatively simple, anyone can tell that fashions can change quickly. There are many different designs available today depending on tastes and preferences, and there is even more reason to change the way your bed looks. If you are tired of the same old bedding but cannot afford to change the sheets or the entire quilt, purchasing a fitted sheet may be an option for you. It may not be quite as cheap as buying a manual work, but it may be cheaper than buying new bedding. If you want to enjoy the comfort of a fitted sheet but do not want to spend money on a new bed, there are many alternatives to help you out.
