The bed linen usually consists of a duvet cover, one or two pillowcases, and sometimes a fitted sheet. The fitted sheet is sewn at the four corners, and sometimes elasticated at the corners. This part of the fitted sheet is called the bonnets, which are designed to hold the sheet in place on the mattress and look taut and wrinkle-free.
Our commitments
On which size bed should I put a 140x200 fitted sheet?
Choosing a fitted sheet is first of all choosing the right size. We will study here fitted sheets 140x200. Fitted sheets are available in all materials and colours, but this choice is secondary since it is not an element of your bedding that will be visible when the bed is made.
All brands make bed linen with standardised sizes, just like mattress sizes. The fitted sheet 140x200 will be put on a mattress of the same size: 140x200, which is the smallest mattress for two people, still called double mattress. In English it will be the "double bed" (vs queen and king size).
If your mattress is particularly thick, then be careful to select larger cups (knowing that the usual cup size is 25cm), otherwise your fitted sheet may not fit on the mattress.
For this type of mattress, you will need a duvet cover of at least 160x200.

The fitted sheets La Chambre Paris have elastic all around the fitted sheet which maintains it well in place. Our fitted sheets are also available with large caps.
