How to Pick the Right Size Fitted Bedsheet

Finding the correct fitted bedsheet is like solving a puzzle, wrestling with corners that refuse to adjust. We've all had that experience where you purchase a wonderful bedsheet, and then discover that it's either too small to fit over the edges or too large, resulting in wrinkles and awkward creases. At Weave & Decor, we know the key that makes your bedding doesn't just appear wonderful but also fits perfectly. Your bedroom is your haven, and your bed is the centre of your haven.

When it all just goes together from the mattress to the last layer of the sheet there is an entire new world of comfort and calm that you get to enjoy. That's why we created this simple, step by step guide to assist you with selecting the correct fitted bedsheet size quickly, whether you are putting bedding on a single bed in your guest room or a king size bed in your bedroom.

No more guessing games, misleading size charts, or returns for incorrect sizes. We're here to simplify it all for you, so you can shop smarter and sleep better. With significance on both fashion and function, Weave & Decor provides comfortably fitted bedsheets that are designed to cover your mattress just right, improve the overall look of your room, and offer the level of comfort you fearlessly expect each night.

How to Measure Your Mattress

  • Measure the Length :  Measuring starts from the top of the mattress to the bottom. This is your mattress length. In India, typical lengths include 72, 75, or 78 inches.
  • Measure the Width : Measure side to side to the mattress. This is your mattress width. For instance, a queen size mattress is typically 72 inches wide, and a double is about 60 inches.
  • Measure the height : This is the most commonly overlooked size. Use the measuring tape to check the depth or height of the mattress, from the foot to the top. Standard mattresses are usually 5 to 8 inches thick, but high quality or pillow-top mattresses can go up to 10 to 14 inches or more.
  • Why Depth Matters : Fitted bedsheets have elasticated corners designed to wrap under the mattress. If the sheet is too lightweight, it will pop off the corners. If it is too deep, it bursts up and appears unattractive. That's why Weave & Decor's fitted sheets are constructed with enough depth and strong elastic to guarantee a snug, smooth fit even on larger mattresses.                                                                              

Best Fitted Sheet Features to Look For

  1. Deep Pockets for a Secure Fit : Look for fitted sheets with deep pockets mainly if your mattress is thick or has a topper. Deep pockets 8 to14 inches or more ensure the sheet stays tucked in securely, even if you toss and turn.
  2. 360° Elastic Edges : A fitted sheet is only as good as its grip. Full elastic edges not just at the corners help the sheet wrap perfectly around the mattress, keeping it in place all night long no more annoying slip ups.
  3. Soft, Breathable Fabric : Select fabrics such as top quality cotton blends that are breathable, soft to the touch, and skin friendly ideal for comfortable use the year round.
  4. Wrinkle Resistant Finish : Wrinkle resistant finish makes your bed stay smooth and tidy with least effort. It is best suited for busy families and anyone who wants a clean appearance.
  5. Fade Resistant Colours : Quality fitted sheets keep their colour and sheen wash after wash. Choose sheets that are colourfast, so your loved colours remain gorgeous and vibrant over time.
  6. Stylish Designs that Match Your Decor : A fitted sheet is not only practical it's also a style feature. From smooth solids to contemporary prints, Weave & Decor has a variety of styles to match every bedroom style.
  7. Easy Care Instructions : Weave and decor bed sheets are machine washable, quick drying, and low maintenance. Bonus points if they get softer with every wash just like ours at Weave & Decor.
