Fitted Sheet Depth Guide: What Depth Sheet Do I Need?
We make fitted sheets to any depth for no extra charge, including deep and extra deep sheets for King, Super King, Emperor, Caesar, American sizes and bespoke large beds.
How To Work Out Fitted Sheet Depth
As a guide, choose a fitted sheet around 10cm / 4 inches deeper than your mattress. For example, a 28cm deep mattress usually needs a fitted sheet around 38cm deep. Remember to include any mattress topper or pad when measuring. To order fitted sheets made to your required depth:
- ✔ Measure your mattress depth, remember to include the depth of any topper
- ✔ Choose your fabric, then your mattress size
- ✔ Scroll down to the fitted sheet section and add to cart
- ✔ In the Additional Comment box at checkout, enter the overall mattress depth
- ✔ We will make the fitted sheet deeper to fit, at no extra charge
