Finding the right bed sheet
The type of sheet you need depends on your bed, your mattress depth, and how you prefer your bedding to feel. Fitted sheets sit over the mattress and are held in place by elasticated corners - Belledorm fitted sheets are available in three depths: standard 30cm for mattresses up to 22cm, extra deep 38cm for mattresses up to 30cm including those with a topper, and ultra deep 46cm for the deepest mattresses and adjustable beds. Flat sheets sit between you and the duvet and are the traditional choice for a layered, hotel-style bed.
Fabric makes the biggest difference to how a sheet feels. 200 thread count polycotton is lightweight, crease-resistant, and quick to dry - ideal for everyday use and children's beds. Egyptian cotton uses longer-staple fibres that produce a smoother, more consistent surface, and is available from 200 to 1200 thread count. For cooler sleep, bamboo has natural moisture-wicking properties. In winter, brushed cotton flannelette traps warmth with its soft, napped finish.
All Belledorm sheet fabrics are available in matching duvet covers and pillowcases, so you can coordinate your whole bed in one thread count and colourway.

Belledorm sells fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and valance sheets. Fitted sheets have elasticated corners and are available in three depths: standard 30cm, extra deep 38cm for thicker mattresses, and ultra deep 46cm for the deepest mattresses and adjustable beds. Flat sheets sit between you and the duvet for a layered feel. All sheet types are available in fabrics from 200 thread count polycotton through to 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton, plus bamboo, jersey cotton, brushed cotton flannelette, Pima cotton, silk, and linen.
Measure the width of your mattress to confirm your bed size: 90cm is single, 120cm is small double (4ft), 135cm is double, 150cm is king, 180cm is super king. For fitted sheets, also measure the total depth of your mattress including any topper or protector - this determines whether you need a standard 30cm, extra deep 38cm, or ultra deep 46cm sheet. Belledorm also stocks specialist sizes including bunk bed, long single, IKEA Euro king, emperor, and large emperor.
The best fabric depends on how you sleep. Polycotton (200 thread count) is lightweight, crease-resistant, and quick to dry - practical for everyday use. Cotton sateen at 300 or 600 thread count feels smoother and has a slight sheen. Egyptian cotton uses longer-staple fibres for a more consistent surface that softens with washing and resists pilling. Bamboo is naturally moisture-wicking and suits warm sleepers. Brushed cotton flannelette traps warmth for winter. Jersey cotton has a stretchy, T-shirt-soft feel.
A fitted sheet wraps around the mattress and is held in place by elasticated corners. It stays put overnight and is the standard base layer for most beds. A flat sheet is a single, unhemmed piece of fabric that sits between you and the duvet. It adds a layer of temperature regulation, protects the duvet cover from body oils and perspiration, and gives the bed a traditional, hotel-style finish. Many people use both together; some prefer just a fitted sheet and duvet.
The most common reason a fitted sheet pulls free is that the depth is wrong for the mattress. Measure the total depth of your mattress including any topper and choose a sheet with a box depth that matches - a 30cm sheet on a 28cm mattress will have very little fabric to tuck under and will slip off. Belledorm fitted sheets have fully elasticated edges (not just corner elastic), which keeps the sheet anchored more securely around all four sides of the mattress.
Thread count measures the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. A 200 thread count polycotton or cotton percale has a crisp, cool feel suited to warm sleepers and everyday use. A 400 thread count cotton sateen is noticeably smoother. At 600 thread count and above, the fabric becomes denser and silkier, with a heavier drape. Above 1000 thread count, returns diminish - the weave type and fibre quality matter more than the number itself. Belledorm offers sheets from 200 to 1500 thread count across multiple fabric types.
Most sleep hygiene guidance recommends washing sheets every one to two weeks. During warmer months or if you perspire more at night, weekly washing is better for freshness and skin comfort. Belledorm cotton and polycotton sheets can be machine washed at 40°C on a standard cycle. Egyptian cotton and higher thread count sheets benefit from being removed from the dryer slightly damp and smoothed flat to reduce creasing.
Yes. Belledorm's sheet fabrics are available in matching duvet covers and pillowcases across most ranges, in the same thread count and colourway. This makes it straightforward to coordinate your entire bed from one fabric family. Bedding bundles are also available, which bring together a fitted sheet, duvet cover, and pillowcases in one order with a saving built in.
Yes, UK double bed sheet dimensions are standardised: fitted sheets are 135cm x 190cm, flat sheets are 230cm x 275cm, and duvet covers are 200cm x 200cm. Belledorm's double range follows these standard UK dimensions throughout.
The one variable is fitted sheet depth, this is not standardised and varies by product and brand. Always check the box depth (30cm, 38cm, or 46cm) against your mattress measurement before purchasing. One common point of confusion is the duvet cover: a double duvet cover (200cm x 200cm) is square, not rectangular, this is correct and standard across the UK industry. If you are buying bedding as a gift or for a property you cannot measure, standard UK double dimensions apply to the overwhelming majority of double beds manufactured since 2000.
