Hebden Percale Cotton Fitted Sheet - Cocoa Brown

This is our Hebden fitted sheet, made from 100% cotton percale and garment-washed before it reaches you. Percale is a plain, tight, over-one-under-one weave, and the garment wash is what gives this sheet its lived-in, slightly crinkled surface from the moment you open it. There is no stiff, boxed-fresh phase to iron out. It comes in four sizes, single through to super king, so you can match it to the bed you actually have rather than the one nearest to hand.

A fitted sheet is the layer that does the quiet work, and this one is built to be a base rather than the thing you notice. The soft brown of this colourway sits well under white or cream bedding, under a waffle throw, or beneath a busier duvet cover where you want the foundation to stay calm. It suits a bedroom that leans relaxed and pared-back, and because the weave is plain it does not compete with whatever you layer on top. Being cotton, it breathes, which matters most on the layer closest to you through the night.

The defining feature of any fitted sheet is its elasticated corners, which hug the mattress and hold the sheet taut, and this is what to check size against before you buy. Cotton is an absorbent, breathable natural fibre, which is why it launders well and takes repeated washing without complaint; the garment wash also means a little softening rather than shrinking is what you can expect over time. Sold as a single sheet by size, it pairs naturally with the wider Hebden range if you want the look carried across the bed.

What is cotton percale and how does it feel?

Percale is a plain, tightly woven cotton with a crisp, matt, breathable handle. This one is garment-washed as well, so it arrives soft and relaxed rather than stiff.

Which mattress sizes does this fit?

It comes in single, double, king and super king. Choose the size that matches your mattress, as the elasticated corners are cut to hold each size taut.

Why does the sheet look slightly crinkled in the photographs?

That relaxed, lived-in texture is the garment wash showing through. It is meant to look that way and does not need pressing to sit well on the bed.

Is cotton a good choice for a fitted sheet?

Cotton is breathable and absorbent, which is what you want in the layer closest to you overnight, and it launders repeatedly without losing its character.

Can I buy matching bedding?

Yes, this sheet is part of our wider Hebden range, so you can carry the same washed cotton look across the rest of the bed if you wish.
