Description
This is a fitted sheet in a tonal stripe, worked in soft pink and deep chocolate brown across a 52% polyester, 48% cotton blend. The stripe is printed rather than woven, running in fine even bands that keep the look calm and orderly rather than busy. Being a fitted sheet, it has elasticated corners that pull the fabric taut over a mattress and hold it there through the night. It comes in four sizes, from single through to super king, so you can match it to the bed you actually have.
A fitted sheet is the layer you sleep directly against, so the feel and the fit matter more here than on any other piece of bedding. This one suits anyone who wants a print with a bit of character underfoot without committing the whole bed to it. The pink and brown palette sits easily with plain bedding as well as bolder pattern, so you can keep the room quiet or, as the range invites, clash it with other stripes and colours. It works in a main bedroom, a guest room or a child's room equally well.
The polyester in the blend is what gives this sheet its practical edge: it dries quickly after a wash and resists creasing, so it needs no ironing to look crisp on the bed. The cotton in the blend brings breathability and a softer hand against the skin, and the two together make a fabric built to be laundered often and stand up to it. When you are choosing your size, measure your mattress rather than trusting the old label, since depths vary. The Ultimate Stripe range is designed to be mixed, so pair this sheet with tonal shades for a coordinated bed or with contrasting pattern if you prefer some play.

Frequently Asked
What is this fitted sheet made from?
It is a cotton blend, 52% polyester and 48% cotton, which pairs the breathability of cotton with the quick-drying, crease-resisting qualities of polyester.
Does it really not need ironing?
The supplier states it is quick drying with no need to iron, so the polyester content helps it settle back to a crisp look straight from the wash.
Which sizes does it come in?
You can choose single, double, king or super king, so there is a fit for most standard UK mattresses in this range.
How do I pick the right size?
Match the sheet to your bed size and, where you can, measure your mattress depth first, as depths vary between beds and affect how the corners sit.
Is the stripe woven or printed?
The stripe is printed onto the fabric, giving the fine tonal bands you see in the photographs across the pink and brown ground.
How should I care for it?
Treat it as an easy-care cotton blend, laundering it often as bedding needs, and take advantage of its quick-drying nature to get it back on the bed sooner.
