Fitted Sheets
Fitted sheets are the basis of every well-made bed. They lie directly on the mattress, ensure a smooth, crease-free lying surface and protect the mattress from soiling. At Interior Couture you will find high-quality fitted sheets in various materials, sizes and from selected premium manufacturers – including special sizes and special shapes for toppers and boxspring beds.

What sets a high-quality fitted sheet apart?
In contrast to classic bed sheets without elastic, fitted sheets have an all-round elastic that tensions the sheet securely around the mattress. The quality is determined in several respects:
- Fabric quality: High-quality yarns and a dense weave ensure durability and a pleasant feel on the skin.
- Wall height: It indicates how high a mattress the sheet encloses – standard is 25 to 30 cm; for boxspring beds and toppers, higher walls are needed.
- All-round elastic: A continuous elastic keeps the sheet securely in position even with thick mattresses.
- Workmanship: Clean seams, reinforced corners and precise cuts are signs of genuine manufacturing quality.
Materials for fitted sheets
Fitted sheets are available in a wide variety of materials. Which material suits you depends on your personal preferences, the season and the bed system.
With Jersey fitted sheets you get probably the most uncomplicated fitted sheet of all: stretchy, soft, snug and available in numerous colours. Ideal for everyday use and for anyone who likes it simple.
Satin fitted sheets offer an especially fine, smooth lying sensation with a subtle lustre. They are the premium variant for discerning sleepers and go perfectly with Mako satin bed linen.
Silk fitted sheets are the most luxurious choice. They are temperature-regulating, skin-friendly and especially gentle – even to the skin of sensitive people.
Terry fitted sheets are cuddly and warm and especially absorbent – ideal for the cold season or for people with a higher warmth requirement.

Wall height and mattress type – what you should look out for
The wall height indicates how high a mattress the fitted sheet encloses. The right wall height ensures that the sheet sits crease-free and does not slip.
- Standard mattresses: wall height 25 to 30 cm
- Toppers: wall height 5 to 12 cm – need special topper fitted sheets
- Boxspring beds: wall height 35 to 40 cm – need fitted sheets with a high wall
- Double layer (mattress plus topper): wall height 35 to 45 cm – best clarified with the brand
If you are unsure which fitted sheet suits your bed, we are happy to advise you personally.
Care of fitted sheets
The right care depends on the material:
- Cotton materials (jersey, satin, percale, terry): washable at 60 °C, tumble-dryer suitable
- Linen and half-linen: washable at 60 °C, better to air-dry
- Silk: delicate wash at 30 °C, not in the tumble dryer, mild silk detergent
For all materials the same applies: do without fabric softener and detergents with optical brighteners. Both can damage the fibre over time and alter the colour. A high-quality liquid detergent is the better choice.

Frequently asked questions about fitted sheets
Which size do I need?
Measure the length, width and above all the height of your mattress. Choose the size to match the lying surface and additionally pay attention to the right wall height – especially important with boxspring beds and toppers. For toppers you need special topper fitted sheets with a lower wall.
What is the wall height and why is it important?
The wall height indicates how high a mattress the fitted sheet encloses. Standard is 25 to 30 cm, boxspring beds need 35 to 40 cm, toppers lower walls. Too small a wall height causes the sheet to pop off; too large a one causes it to sag. The right wall height is therefore decisive for a crease-free fit.
Which material is best suited for fitted sheets?
That depends on your preferences. Jersey is uncomplicated and elastic – ideal for everyday use. Satin offers an especially fine lying sensation with lustre. Silk is the premium material par excellence, temperature-regulating and skin-friendly. Terry is cuddly and warm. If you are unsure, you should order a fabric sample in advance to judge the feel for yourself.
Can I also get fitted sheets in special sizes?
Yes. Several of our brands – above all Graser and Formesse – also make fitted sheets in special sizes. For Swiss standard dimensions and unusual boxspring sizes too, we will find suitable solutions. Just get in touch with us on +49 (0) 221 630 606 12.
What makes Bella Donna from Formesse so special?
Bella Donna is the best-known fitted sheet range from Formesse and a true benchmark on the market. The special stretch construction ensures an exceptionally good fit even with thick mattresses, and the fabric keeps its shape over many years. Bella Donna comes in many variants: for standard mattresses, for toppers (Bella Gracia), for especially high mattresses (Bella Donna Premium), as a terry variant and in numerous further versions.
At what temperature can I wash fitted sheets?
With cotton fitted sheets (jersey, satin, percale, terry) 60 °C is generally possible – ideal for reliably removing bacteria and mites. Silk has to be treated more gently (delicate wash at 30 °C, not in the tumble dryer). Do without fabric softener and optical brighteners in general.

In our range you will find fitted sheets from Formesse (the specialist with Bella Donna), Schlossberg, Curt Bauer, Graser, elegante, Royfort, Seidenweber, decode by Luiz as well as Boss Home and Joop!
