{"product_id":"double-fitted-sheet","title":"Double Fitted Sheet — Extra Deep 40cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA double fitted sheet with a genuine 40cm depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis double fitted sheet measures 135 x 190cm and is made with an extra deep 40cm skirt, fully elasticated all the way round. It is manufactured in Britain, in our own Rochdale factory, in 200 thread count microfibre. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy 40cm, and what it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 \u003cem\u003eup to\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElastic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix colours\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery double fitted sheet comes in six colours. \u003cstrong\u003eWhite\u003c\/strong\u003e is the timeless hotel choice, crisp and clean against any duvet cover. \u003cstrong\u003eLight Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft modern neutral that flatters contemporary bedrooms. \u003cstrong\u003eCharcoal\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deeper, warmer grey for a cosier, more grounded look. \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e is sleek and confident for a high-contrast bedroom. \u003cstrong\u003eNavy Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e is rich and elegant, adding depth and character. \u003cstrong\u003eBeige\u003c\/strong\u003e is a calm natural tone that brings warmth and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Britain, sold direct\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosh Tag is not a retailer reselling someone else's bedding.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOther sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same sheet is made in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/single-fitted-sheet\"\u003eSingle\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/small-double-fitted-sheet\"\u003eSmall Double\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/king-size-fitted-sheet\"\u003eKing Size\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/super-king-fitted-sheet\"\u003eSuper King\u003c\/a\u003e.

This one is cut to that size with a 40cm skirt, so it measures larger flat than the mattress it goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a double mattress with a topper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A typical double mattress with a topper reaches around 30cm to 35cm, which sits well inside the 40cm depth with room to tuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a deep and an extra deep double fitted sheet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours does it come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix: White, Black, Navy Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal and Beige.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Posh Tag","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":54660122870101,"sku":"PT-FS-WHT-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":54660122902869,"sku":"PT-FS-BLK-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy Blue","offer_id":54660122935637,"sku":"PT-FS-NVY-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey","offer_id":54660122968405,"sku":"PT-FS-LGR-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal","offer_id":54660123001173,"sku":"PT-FS-CHR-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beige","offer_id":54660123033941,"sku":"PT-FS-BEI-DBL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/9823\/5733\/files\/double-fitted-sheet-white.webp?v=1786869524","url":"https:\/\/www.poshtag.co.uk\/products\/double-fitted-sheet","provider":"Posh Tag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
