Common Questions about Single Sheets
- Fitted vs Flat: A fitted sheet for a Single bed must match the mattress dimensions exactly. A flat sheet is always significantly larger to allow for tucking.
- Pocket Depth: Standard fitted sheets fit mattresses up to 30cm (12") deep. If you have a pillow-top Single mattress, look for "Deep Pocket" sheets.
- International Differences: A "Single" in UK may not be the same size in other countries. Always check the cm/inch measurements before buying imported bedding.
