Marlow Stripe Printed Cotton Fitted Sheet - Maple/Sandalwood

This is the Marlow Stripe fitted sheet, made from pure cotton and finished with a printed stripe that runs in soft, muted tones across the cloth. In the photograph the ground reads as a warm dusky pink, with the stripe picked out a shade lighter, giving a gentle vertical rhythm rather than a bold contrast. It comes in four sizes, single through to super king, so it works whether you are dressing a child's bed or a large double.

A fitted sheet is the layer you feel against you every night, so the choice of material matters more here than on almost anything else in the bedroom. Cotton is breathable and takes a wash well, which is exactly what you want from the sheet closest to the skin. The relaxed washed handle described by the supplier means it arrives soft rather than crisp, so it suits a bed you want to feel lived-in and easy rather than formally starched. The muted pink sits happily with cream, warm neutrals and natural wood, and pairs back to plain or patterned covers without competing.

Being a fitted sheet, it has elasticated corners that pull the cloth taut over the mattress and hold it in place through the night. The stripe is printed, so the pattern sits on the surface of the woven cotton. The edging is twin-stitched, a double row of stitching along the hem for a neat, durable finish. As pure cotton it launders easily and, being one of four sizes in the same Marlow Stripe range, it can be matched across a whole bed as your needs change.
