This double fitted sheet measures 135 x 190cm and is made with an extra deep 40cm skirt, fully elasticated all the way round. It is cut and finished in 200 thread count microfibre to our own specification. Deep fitted sheets in double are the size people most often buy twice — once too shallow, then again properly — and the 40cm cut is what stops that happening.
A modern double bed fitted sheet has more to cover than it used to. Mattresses have got deeper, and a topper adds another 5cm to 8cm on top. A deep double fitted sheet at 40cm fits mattresses up to that depth, which covers a standard 25cm mattress, a thick pocket-sprung one, and either of those with a topper. If a 30cm sheet has been leaving you short at the corners, this is the size that gives you the headroom.
Elastic runs a full 360° around the skirt rather than being gathered only at the corners. On a double, where you and whoever you share it with are pulling in opposite directions all night, that continuous grip is what keeps the sheet on the mattress instead of working its way loose. The 200 thread count microfibre holds its shape wash after wash and sits flat once it is fitted.
Every 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, Small 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 double fitted sheet is 135 x 190cm, sometimes listed as 4ft6. This one is cut to that size with a 40cm skirt, so it measures larger flat than the mattress it goes on.
Yes. A typical double mattress with a topper reaches around 30cm to 35cm, which sits well inside the 40cm depth with room to tuck.
Deep usually means 30cm. Extra deep means 40cm. The extra 10cm is what accommodates a topper, or a mattress deeper than average, without the corners pulling off.
Six: White, Black, Navy Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal and Beige.
