Fitted sheets in themselves are next to sliced bread, probably one of the most wonderful inventions. Where a flat sheet is merely a rectangular cloth, weavers sew an elastic band to the inside of the four edges of a normal flat sheet, so that it becomes a fitted sheet that fits easily and comfortably over the sides of your mattress. That is if you have bought the right size to fit your mattress.

When it comes to buying a fitted sheet for a double bed, the height of your mattress, as well as the length, is significant. Some beds are custom-made for people who may be taller than others, so you will need to adjust the dimensions of your bedding accordingly.

If you are unable to find the right size bedding anywhere else, it is not the end of the world, because some well-known linen manufacturers in Australia are also known for providing consumers with custom-made linen products as per their requirements or specific measurements. So, you just have to know where to look.

A fitted sheet for a double bed will keep its shape throughout the night if you have bought the right size. It will not pull away from the corners ...
... of the mattress, nor will it end up in a bundle between your legs when you sleep. What you should also consider is the type of material for the environment in which you live.

In countries like Australia with its hot and dry weather conditions, there is nothing worse than rolling around in your sweat at night. Therefore, you should consider light and ‘breathable’ bedding, but be careful not to compromise on quality. Study the fabric carefully to determine if it is densely weaved, which is of course a good indication of the quality. Thinly woven, transparent, and inexpensive materials are known for losing their colour and they tear easily.

When it comes to bedding, it is astonishing how little we know about linen or rather 100% pure French linen. Many housewives probably do not know the difference between normal cotton and pure flax linen, and in most cases, all fabrics are mistakenly referred to as linen.

Linen was once so valuable that it was the only material of choice to wrap the bodies of the deceased in Egyptian times - a fact that has greatly contributed to the preservation of these ancient treasures, and to this day mankind still enjoys the benefit of this ancient old plant known as flax. Linen fabric is made from flax fibre and is consequently two to three times stronger than cotton.

Linen is also naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it a popular choice for dressings for wounds, and for people that suffer from allergies. Linen is therefore an excellent and smart choice when it comes to bedding, especially in terms of fitted sheets. The durability of this fabric is a feature that is appreciated, especially since fitted sheets need to be washed regularly. Linen retains its colour and shape and only gets softer and more luxurious after each wash.

The typical size of a double bed in Australia is 1385mm x 1900mm Metric (mm) width x length, or 54.5 "x 74.8" Imperial (inches) width x length, unless your bed is customized, which is often the case for larger and taller people. You can also have your linen bedding custom-made if your double bed's dimensions differ from the normal sizes.

When it comes to bedding, one needs to be smart so that you get value for your money. Linen is a material that offers longevity and durability, and you can use it for many years without the material losing any of its aesthetic value. Be sure to shop at the right places and ensure that the quality of the product is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
