We often talk about duvet covers or complete bedding sets, but the fitted sheet is the foundation of a comfortable, neatly made bed. A poorly fitted sheet that comes loose or wrinkles can ruin even the most beautiful bedding set.
1. Start by measuring your mattress
Before choosing a fitted sheet, take a tape measure and measure three things: the length, width, and height of your mattress.
- Length and width: always choose the exact size of your mattress (for example 90×200, 140×200, 160×200, 180×200, etc.).
- Height: this is the key measurement for a fitted sheet that stays in place.
For the height, we refer to the pocket depth: this is the part of the fitted sheet that wraps around the sides of the mattress and tucks underneath.
A pocket that is too shallow will constantly slip off, while one that is too deep may wrinkle and lack support.
2. Choose the right pocket depth
For a perfect fit, always choose a pocket depth slightly greater than the height of your mattress (or the combined height of mattress + mattress topper).
For example:
- For a mattress 25 cm high → choose a 30 cm pocket depth.
- For a mattress 32 cm high → choose a 40 cm pocket depth.
If you use a mattress topper, add together the thickness of your mattress and topper, then choose a deeper pocket.
At Kalani, fitted sheets are designed to suit most modern mattresses, including thick mattresses and toppers:
- 30 cm pockets for standard mattresses.
- 40 cm pockets for deep mattresses.
- 10 cm pockets for standalone toppers.
This depth ensures the fitted sheet stays securely in place, even if you move a lot during the night.
3. Bed length: don’t overlook this detail
Not all beds are 2 meters long. Depending on the brand, mattresses can measure up to 2.2 m.
Kalani fitted sheets are available in 3 lengths:
- For 2 m mattresses.
- For longer mattresses up to 2.2 m.
The idea is simple: a fitted sheet perfectly matched to the length and width prevents wrinkles, improves comfort, and instantly gives your entire bedding set a neat, polished look.
The details that make all the difference
A good fitted sheet is not just about dimensions. Practical details truly enhance everyday use.
- Elastic all around: Kalani fitted sheets feature elastic around the entire edge, ensuring a perfect fit—not just at the four corners.
- Head/foot label: thanks to the positioning label, placing your sheet correctly is effortless, even in larger sizes.
- Exclusive finishing: the high-quality finish and exclusive elastic ensure a better hold on both standard and thick mattresses.
Result: your bed stays neat for longer, you save time when changing sheets, and your fitted sheet no longer turns into a rebellious cover in the middle of the night.
Fitted sheet size and bedding set
For a harmonious bedding set:
- Match your fitted sheet with your duvet cover and pillowcases for a tone-on-tone look.
- Or create contrast (for example, a light solid duvet cover with a deeper-colored fitted sheet) to structure your bedroom décor.
Also make sure to choose the right duvet cover size (single or double) and a duvet suited to your needs (all-season, warm, anti-allergy, etc.) to complete your bedding.
A well-chosen fitted sheet = a perfect bed
The perfect fitted sheet means:
- The right length and width, exactly matching your mattress dimensions.
- A pocket depth adapted to the height of your mattress (and topper, if applicable).
- A breathable fabric that feels pleasant to the touch.
- Practical finishes that save time and improve fit.
A well-chosen fitted sheet = a perfect bed.
