This small double fitted sheet measures 120 x 190cm and is made with an extra deep 40cm skirt, fully elasticated the whole way round. It is cut and finished in 200 thread count microfibre to our own specification. Small double is the size most retailers skip, which is why so many people end up buying a double and folding the excess underneath. This one is cut properly for a 4ft bed.
Small double beds are common in box rooms, guest rooms and older houses, and they often carry a thicker mattress or a topper to make the most of the space. A deep small double fitted sheet at 40cm fits mattresses up to that depth, covering a standard 20cm to 25cm mattress and either of those with a topper on. If you have been making a double sheet work on a 4ft bed, this is what it should have felt like.
The elastic runs 360° around the whole skirt rather than being gathered only at the corners, so a fitted sheet for a small double bed grips the mattress instead of working loose overnight. The 200 thread count microfibre holds its shape through repeated washing and sits flat once it is on.
Every small double fitted sheet comes in six colours. White is the timeless hotel choice, crisp and clean against any duvet cover. Light Grey is a soft modern neutral that flatters contemporary bedrooms. Charcoal is a deeper, warmer grey for a cosier, more grounded look. Black is sleek and confident for a high-contrast bedroom. Navy Blue is rich and elegant, adding depth and character. Beige is a calm natural tone that brings warmth and softness.
Posh Tag is a family-run bedding business based on Fieldhouse Industrial Estate in Rochdale, with more than fifteen years in textiles. We manufacture our own pillows and cushion inserts here, filled with pure virgin hollow fibre. Our sheets, including every size in this range, are made to our own specification by mills we have worked with for years, then checked and packed by our team in Rochdale. Because we sell direct rather than through a chain of retailers, there is no extra margin sitting between us and your bed.
Machine washable at 40°C and safe to tumble dry on a low heat. Wash similar colours together, particularly the darker shades — black, charcoal and navy blue — to keep the colour looking rich. Take the sheet out promptly once dry and smooth it flat. Avoid dragging or overstretching the corners when fitting and removing it, and store it clean, dry and folded in a cool, airy cupboard.
The same sheet is made in Single, Double, King Size and Super King. If you are unsure which you need, the fitted sheet size guide lists every UK bed size in centimetres and inches, and explains how to measure the depth of your mattress.
A UK small double fitted sheet is 120 x 190cm, usually described as 4ft. It sits between a single at 90cm wide and a standard double at 135cm.
You can, but it will not fit properly. A double is 15cm wider, so the excess bunches under the mattress and the sheet loosens as you move. A small double bed fitted sheet cut to 120cm holds its tension.
Yes. A small double mattress plus a topper usually reaches 25cm to 33cm, comfortably inside the 40cm skirt.
Six: White, Black, Navy Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal and Beige.
