Are you looking for a new fitted sheet? Do you want to know what the best fitted sheet is and which one suits you best? Then you've come to the right place. We can tell you everything about fitted sheet materials, how to care for your fitted sheet, and which fitted sheet is best for you.
The importance of a good fitted sheet
Whether consciously or unconsciously, if something is wrong with your fitted sheet, you will lie more restlessly at night. Even in your sleep, you will react to a fitted sheet that bunches up under your body or feels clammy. Tossing and turning a lot in your sleep means reduced restful sleep, which will ultimately affect your overall health and mood. That is why it is important that every aspect of your fitted sheet is right.
Choosing the best fitted sheet: what to look for?
But how do you know what to look for when buying a new fitted sheet? First of all, the material has a major effect on how cold, warm, or even sweaty you feel at night. Additionally, the right size fitted sheet is very important so that you can easily make your bed and your fitted sheet stays neatly in place throughout the night. The fit of your fitted sheet also influences this.
Fitted sheet material
Which fitted sheet material is best? Although fitted sheets made of synthetic materials such as polyester microfiber exist, we always recommend choosing a natural material like cotton. With a cotton fitted sheet, you can be sure that it ventilates well and absorbs moisture, so you won't suffer from a clammy and sweaty feeling while sleeping. However, not all cotton is created equal.
Cotton plants grown under ideal conditions (such as in Egypt) produce longer fibers that allow for the creation of softer and sturdier fabric, which affects the quality and lifespan of your fitted sheet. However, the weaving technique also influences the appearance and comfort of your fitted sheet. For instance, percale weaving creates a matte surface, while satin weave provides a slight sheen. Jersey fitted sheets, on the other hand, utilize a knitting technique that results in much better stretch than woven fitted sheets. The cotton grammage affects how thick, warm, and cozy your fitted sheet feels.
These are all factors to consider when purchasing a fitted sheet. One is not necessarily better than the other; it simply ensures a variety of cotton fitted sheets. Which comfort and appearance suits you best depends on your personal preference.
Fitted sheet size
What does not depend on your personal preference is the size of your fitted sheet. This simply has to match the dimensions of your mattress. To the perfect size fitted sheet for your bed To find the right fit, it is important to know the exact width, length, and thickness of your mattress before looking for a new fitted sheet. The dimensions of the bed itself do not matter; it is really about your mattress size.
Fit
The fit of a fitted sheet is an important aspect for both making your bed easily and your comfort during the night. A fitted sheet with good stretch will always sit more streamlined around your mattress than a fitted sheet with less stretch. Fortunately, elastic at the edge of a fitted sheet helps enormously. The Vandyck fitted sheets that you at Bath&Living finds all have elastic all around for a good fit. This makes making your bed easier and the fitted sheet stays neatly in place throughout the night.
Our top 3 fitted sheets
Taking into account all the factors important when choosing a fitted sheet, we have arrived at a beautiful top 3 of fitted sheets. Each fitted sheet stands out in its own way due to its unique properties. Whichever of these three fitted sheets you choose, you can't go wrong.
1. Jersey Supreme Fitted Sheet White
The white Jersey Supreme fitted sheet is the absolute top performer among fitted sheets. Ultimately stretchy, buttery soft, and an irresistibly thick quality of no less than 235 grams/m². This makes it extra cozy in the winter, but also ultimately comfortable during the warmer months. This Vandyck fitted sheet is available in many colors; from light and neutral to surprising and dark. But because white is *always* a good choice, it truly takes the number 1 spot: Jersey Supreme fitted sheet in White
Does the lovely stretch and softness of this jersey fitted sheet appeal to you, but would you prefer a more breathable quality? Then it is Jersey Soft Fitted sheet exactly what you are looking for. This one has a weight of 175 grams/m² and is also available in a variety of beautiful colors so you can create a nice match with your duvet cover.
2. Satin Supreme fitted sheet Olive
Cotton in a satin weave exudes luxury and feels wonderfully soft. A cotton satin fitted sheet is therefore one of our favorites. Naturally beautiful in classic white, but also in a lovely color like green, this is a beautiful addition to your made-up bed. The Satin Supreme fitted sheets from Vandyck are made of high-quality, finely woven Egyptian cotton with a silk finish. The fibers of Egyptian cotton are wonderfully soft, extra long, and sturdy, so you can enjoy this fitted sheet for a long time. Partly for this reason, it is our absolute number 2: Satin Supreme fitted sheet in Olive
The Satin Supreme also has a sister: the Satin Soft fitted sheet. This fitted sheet is more accessible in terms of price because the cotton used does not come from Egypt. This cotton satin fitted sheet is still wonderfully soft, very finely woven (210 TC), and has a beautiful silk finish. However, due to the shorter cotton fibers, this satin fitted sheet is slightly less durable than the Satin Supreme, which is reflected in the purchase price. Both types of Vandyck Satin fitted sheets feel pleasantly cool and are therefore especially nice in the summer and spring.
3. Natural percale cotton fitted sheet
For lovers of “old-fashioned” cotton, there is the Vandyck Percale fitted sheet. The Vandyck Percale cotton fitted sheets are made of high quality in a fine weave with 200 thread counts. The Percale weave creates a smooth and matte surface that feels crisp and fresh, making it delightful for the warmer months. A white 100% cotton fitted sheet is naturally a good foundation for any bed, but a not-quite-white fitted sheet often looks a bit warmer. That is why we proudly name our number 3: Percale fitted sheet in Natural
