Description
The Hebden fitted sheet is pure cotton in a narrow stripe, olive green running the length of a cream ground. The stripe is fine and evenly spaced, close enough to read almost as a soft solid from across the room and clearly linear up close, so it sits quietly rather than shouting. It comes in four sizes, Single through to Super King, so you can match it to the bed you already have. The cloth is a 144 thread count, which is a plain, honest weight of cotton rather than a high-count percale, and it is printed rather than woven, meaning the colour sits on the surface of the fabric.
A fitted sheet is the layer you feel against you all night, so cotton earns its place here. It breathes, it takes up moisture rather than trapping it, and it settles softer with each wash rather than wearing shiny. The olive-on-cream stripe is easy to live with because it does not fix you to one look. Pair it with plain white or cream pillowcases for something restful, or let the stripe carry the pattern in an otherwise plain bed. It suits a calm, uncluttered bedroom, and works as happily under a heavy winter duvet as under a single sheet in summer.
Every fitted sheet has elasticated corners that pull the cloth taut across the mattress and hold it there, so it stays put through the night. Being 100% cotton, it will take a warm machine wash and can be tumbled or line dried; cotton creases, so a warm iron while slightly damp brings back the crisp finish if you like a smooth bed. The Hebden stripe is one part of a wider look, so you can build the bed up in the same design across the range.

Frequently Asked
What is the sheet made from?
It is 100% cotton, so it breathes well, takes up moisture through the night, and grows softer each time you wash it.
How does the stripe actually look on the bed?
It is a fine olive green stripe on a cream ground, spaced narrowly so it reads as a soft, calm pattern rather than a bold one.
Which sizes can I get?
It comes in four sizes, Single, Double, King and Super King, so you can match it to your existing mattress.
Will it need ironing?
Cotton does crease, so if you like a crisp bed a warm iron while the sheet is slightly damp restores the smooth finish nicely.
Is the stripe printed or woven in?
The stripe is printed onto the cotton, so the colour sits on the surface of the cloth rather than being woven through it.
