Bed Sheets: Page 2

To ensure you enjoy a comfortable and relaxing night's sleep, make sure you have the right Bed Sheet. At Downtown we have a fantastic range of cotton bed sheets available in a variety of designs and sizes.

There are some key features to consider when purchasing a bed sheet. Firstly, there are two main types: Fitted and flat. A flat sheet is a rectangular piece of fabric that is longer and wider than the dimensions of your mattress, meaning it can be tucked under the mattress or between the mattress and bed frame. A fitted sheet holds in place even if you toss and turn in the night because they are elasticated in the corners. A third type of bed sheet is a valance which can be used to cover a divan.

Whether fitted or flat, bed sheets come in a variety of standard bed sizes. When purchasing from Downtown you will be given a range of options from 3 ft single to a 6ft Super King which is approximately 180 x 200cm. 

The material and thread count you opt for is also extremely important. Thread count is used as a common way to evaluate quality; the number of threads per square inch woven to create the sheet. If you are looking for something extremely soft, you will want a high thread count. Cotton is the most commonly used fabric for bedding and bed sheets as it has many benefits. Egyptian cotton is popular as it is known for being strong yet luxuriously soft. Cotton percale is another option which is closely woven to a medium weight, making them perfect for year-round use. Throughout our range you will find a range of materials including 100% cotton, linen, polyester and more, so make sure you find what's right for you.

With leading brands to choose from, you can also select a colour that compliments your bedding set and bedroom decor.
