This single fitted sheet measures 90 x 190cm and is cut 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. If you have ever fought a single bed fitted sheet that pings off a corner at two in the morning, the depth and the elastic are the reason this one does not.
Most single beds are nowhere near 40cm deep — and that is the point. A deep single fitted sheet fits mattresses up to 40cm, so it covers a standard 20cm mattress, a thicker pocket-sprung one, and a mattress with a topper on it, without the corners riding up. If you have been searching for a 25cm or 30cm sheet and finding the fit tight once a topper is on, an extra deep single fitted sheet is the size that actually solves it.
The elastic runs 360° around the whole skirt, not just gathered at the corners. That is what keeps a fitted bed sheet gripped to the mattress rather than creeping up the sides overnight. Diamond quilted 200 thread count microfibre gives it enough body to hold its shape through repeated washing, and it stays smooth once it is on.
Every single 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 Small Double, 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 single fitted sheet is 90 x 190cm, sometimes written as 3ft. This one is cut to that size with an additional 40cm depth on the skirt, so the flat measurement is larger than the mattress it fits.
Yes. The 40cm depth is designed for exactly this. A standard single mattress plus a topper usually lands between 25cm and 35cm, all of which sits comfortably inside the 40cm skirt.
No. The elastic runs the full way round, so the excess gathers underneath rather than bagging at the sides. It fits a shallow mattress as securely as a deep one.
Six: White, Black, Navy Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal and Beige.
