Willow Boughs Percale Cotton Fitted Sheet - Natural

This is a fitted sheet made from 100% cotton percale, woven to a 200 thread count. It is a coordinate piece: rather than carrying the leafy Willow Boughs print you see on the matching duvet cover, the sheet itself is a fine vertical stripe in soft natural tones on a white ground, the stripes broken up by a small repeating dot detail. That makes it a quiet, calm surface to sleep on while still belonging to the same range. It comes in three sizes, from double up to super king, so you can match it to the bed you have.

A fitted sheet is the layer that goes straight onto the mattress, and this one has elasticated edges all the way round to grip the corners and hold the sheet taut through the night. The muted stripe sits happily under almost any duvet cover, which is why it pairs so naturally with the bolder Willow Boughs leaf print above it without competing with it. If you like a bedroom that reads as considered rather than busy, a striped base sheet is a good way to get there. It suits a traditional or a plainer modern room equally well.

Percale is a plain, tightly woven cotton with a crisp, cool, matt hand, which is why it feels fresh against the skin and only gets better with washing. This sheet is garment-washed before it reaches you, so it arrives already soft and relaxed rather than stiff, with a lived-in feel from the first night. Cotton is breathable and takes a warm wash well, so it is a straightforward fabric to keep. It is part of a matching Willow Boughs range, so you can build up a coordinated bed over time.

What is percale and how does it feel?

Percale is a tightly woven plain-weave cotton with a crisp, cool and matt handle, so it feels fresh against the skin and softens gently each time you wash it.

Does the sheet match the Willow Boughs leaf print?

No, the sheet is a fine natural stripe rather than the leaf print. It is designed to coordinate with the wider Willow Boughs range without competing with the bolder pattern.

Will it stay on my mattress?

It has elasticated edges running all the way round, which pull the corners in and help hold the sheet taut and secure on the mattress through the night.

What sizes are available?

This sheet comes in three sizes, from double up to super king, so you can choose the one that fits the bed you already have at home.

Will it feel stiff when it arrives?

No, it is garment-washed before it reaches you, which means it arrives already soft and relaxed with a lived-in feel rather than a stiff, new-fabric handle.
