FAQs
What material is this fitted sheet made of?
The sheet is made from a 50/50 Polycotton percale blend.
What are the dimensions of the Double size fitted sheet?
The Double size measures 135 x 190cm with a fitted depth of 28cm.
Can I put this fitted sheet in the tumble dryer?
Yes, this fitted sheet is suitable for tumble drying on a low heat setting.
How often should I wash my fitted sheet?
It is generally recommended to wash bed linens, including fitted sheets, every one to two weeks to maintain hygiene.
Will this sheet fit a deep mattress?
This sheet has a fitted depth of 28cm, so it is designed for mattresses up to this depth. For mattresses significantly deeper than 28cm, it may not provide a secure fit.
How do I care for the red color to prevent fading?
Wash the sheet with similar colors using a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Washing at 40°C is recommended.
Does the percale weave make the sheet feel rough?
Percale weave is known for its crisp and cool feel, which some may perceive as stiff initially. However, with washing, it softens while retaining its smooth, breathable quality.
Troubleshooting
Sheet does not fit securely.
Verify your mattress dimensions match the sheet's size (Double, 135 x 190cm) and that its depth does not exceed 28cm. Ensure all four corners are correctly fitted.
Fabric feels too crisp or stiff.
Wash the sheet before first use. A fabric softener can be used sparingly during the wash cycle to soften the fabric over time, though percale is naturally crisp.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (max 40°C) and using a low heat setting for tumble drying. Avoid high heat settings which can cause shrinkage.
Color fades after washing.
Wash the sheet with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, as it can significantly impact fabric color.
