Description
This is a pure cotton fitted sheet made to sit alongside the Strawberry Thief bedding, one of William Morris's best-loved archive patterns. Rather than carry the full floral print, the sheet itself is a fine narrow stripe in soft green against a cream ground, so it works as a quiet base beneath the busier design of a duvet cover. It is woven as a 200-thread-count percale, a plain, closely balanced weave that gives cotton its familiar crisp, cool handle. The sheet comes in double, king and super king.
A fitted sheet is the layer you lie directly on, so the two things that matter are how it feels and how it stays put. This one is finished with elasticated edges that pull the corners tight around the mattress, and it carries a generous 32cm drop. That drop is the figure to check against your own mattress: 32cm is enough for a deep pocket-sprung or memory-foam mattress, or a standard mattress with a topper added, without the sheet riding up in the night. The striped design keeps things plain enough to pair with the Strawberry Thief cover above it or to use on its own.
Being 100% cotton, the sheet is breathable and takes a wash well, which is what you want from something in constant contact with skin. It has a garment-washed finish, so it feels soft from the first night rather than needing several washes to relax. Percale in particular is prized for staying crisp and cool, a good choice if you sleep warm. It sits within the wider Strawberry Thief range, letting you build up the duvet cover, sheet and other pieces in the same sage green colourway.

Frequently Asked
How deep a mattress will this fitted sheet fit?
It has a 32cm pocket depth, which suits most deep mattresses or a standard mattress with a topper added on top.
What is percale and why does it matter here?
Percale is a plain, closely balanced weave. It gives cotton a crisp, cool, smooth feel, which many people prefer if they sleep warm at night.
Is the whole sheet the Strawberry Thief floral pattern?
No. The sheet itself is a narrow green stripe on cream, made to sit under and coordinate with the Strawberry Thief duvet cover rather than repeat its print.
Will it feel soft straight away or need washing in first?
It has a garment-washed finish, so the cotton is already relaxed and soft to the touch from your very first night rather than needing several washes.
What sizes does this fitted sheet come in?
It is available in double, king and super king, so you can match it to the size of your existing bed and mattress.
