In the last article, we talked about getting a good night's sleep. We talked about how the quality of our sleep affects our performance and lives. We talked about how you can improve the environment for your bedroom and how well your bedding works for you. Let’s not beat around the bush, your bed is king when it comes to sleep. We wrote about the different heights for your mattress but if you are using normal sized sheets you will struggle to get all the sheets onto the bed if you are taller. Here is where the fitted sheets come in. Read more info about 40cm Deep Fitted Sheets

Basic Fitting Sheets

A standard sized fitted sheet has a 41cm deep pocket. If you are a size 140cm mattress then you will need a 141cm fitted sheet which will fit the mattress comfortably. Remember, the pocket is the depth of the sheet when you fold it, so if you are a large person then the pocket may be deeper. 

Comfort Fit Sheets

If you are using a very large mattress (260cm) then you may struggle to fit a standard fitted sheet onto the mattress comfortably. In this case, you can buy a comfort fit sheet. Comfort fit sheets have a 42cm deep pocket.

Full Length Sheets

Full length sheets are sheets which cover your mattress up to the height of your mattress. They usually have a lower depth than the fitted sheet, typically around 40cm.

Extra Deep Fitted Sheets

Extra deep fitted sheets have a pocket which is even deeper than the comfort fit sheets. A deep pocket is what you need if you are over 180cm or heavy. An extra deep pocket will allow you to tuck in deeper, especially if you have a thicker mattress. Get more info about 40cm Deep Fitted Sheets

Overbed Sheets

If you need a little more comfort than your bed and sheets are giving you, then an overbed sheet is what you need. These sheets are similar to the full length sheets but go higher and pull the corners of the sheets together, creating a more comfortable zone which helps you sleep in.

The last thing which you need to know is that if you have had to buy a new mattress, then you will need to buy new fitted sheets. This is because there is a limit to how much you can put over an old mattress.
