Formesse – Bella Donna and the art of the perfectly fitting fitted sheet
Welcome to the Formesse Brand Shop by Interior Couture. There are manufacturers who make a good fitted sheet – and there is Formesse, which with the Bella Donna series has defined, over decades, what a premium fitted sheet actually has to deliver. A perfect fit even after a hundred washes, a colour palette with over 50 shades, special sizes for almost any bed, and a material quality that few brands in the home-textiles segment achieve with such consistency.
We deliver free shipping from €50 order value within Germany. International shipping is free from €200. Deliveries to Switzerland and other non-EU countries are of course made with a VAT-free invoice. You can reach us by telephone on +49 (0) 221 630 606 12.
Made in Germany – from the Black Forest for over 50 years
Formesse has been producing in the Black Forest for more than fifty years and is thus one of the few home-textile manufacturers to keep its entire production consistently in Germany. The company combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative knitting technologies – and does so in a way that sets standards in international comparison.
All Bella Donna products are Made in Germany and stand for durability, comfort and responsibly manufactured materials. Anyone who has once held a Bella Donna in their hands recognises the difference from standard goods immediately – in the weight, in the elasticity, in the precise finishing of the corners and in the even fit on the mattress.
The range
Bella Donna Fitted Sheets
The centrepiece of the house and, for years, one of the most popular premium sheet series in Europe. Knitted from particularly fine, refined twine of long-staple cotton – heavy, opaque, dimensionally stable. The composition of 97% long-staple cotton and 3% elastane, refined with aloe vera and silk proteins, ensures a pleasantly soft feel against the skin and the highest elasticity. Over 50 colours are available to choose from. To the Bella Donna Fitted Sheets.
Bella Donna Premium Sheets

Fine Terry Fitted Sheets
Terry towelling is the cosy, particularly absorbent alternative to jersey – ideal for the cold season, for those who perspire and for anyone who prefers a warm, snug lying feel. Here too in the typical Formesse quality with a perfect fit. To the Fine Terry Fitted Sheets.
Bella Donna Summer Blankets
Lightweight summer blankets in the usual high material quality – the ideal complement for warm nights. Breathable, temperature-balancing and with fine workmanship. To the Bella Donna Summer Blankets.
Mattress Protectors
A good mattress protector noticeably extends the life of the mattress and protects against perspiration, moisture and soiling. The Formesse mattress protectors fit as precisely as the Bella Donna fitted sheets themselves – no slipping, no lumps, no distortion. To the Formesse Mattress Protectors.
Bella Donna Pillowcases
To match the fitted sheet, Formesse offers jersey pillowcases in the same material quality – colour-matched exactly to the Bella Donna palette. This means the bed can be dressed entirely in a single colour world. To the Bella Donna Pillowcases.
Material and workmanship – premium jersey of the very finest class
What makes Bella Donna so special can be pinned down to a few key points:
- Long-staple cotton: the fine twine is the basis for the palpable softness and durability
- Heavy, opaque jersey: no show-through of the mattress, a high-quality appearance
- 97 per cent cotton, 3 per cent elastane: the right balance of natural fibre and elasticity
- Finished with aloe vera and silk proteins: for a pleasant feel on the skin
- No pilling: thanks to the quality of the fibres, no bobbling forms, even after many washes
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100: all Bella Donna fitted sheets are certified as tested for harmful substances
Perfect fit without wrinkles
The high-quality elastane content and the enormous elastic recovery ensure that Bella Donna bed sheets guaranteed wrinkle-free sit perfectly – on standard mattresses, special sizes, water beds and box-spring beds. The sewn-in corner label marks the top right corner of the mattress and makes fitting it precisely easier. A small detail with a big effect in everyday use.
Bella Donna Alto – for tall box-spring mattresses
With the trend towards taller mattresses and box-spring beds, Formesse has developed the Bella Donna Alto It covers mattress heights from 26 to 41 cm and offers the same elasticity, appearance and quality as the classic jersey fitted sheet – simply with the additional gusset needed so that voluminous box-spring mattresses can also be fitted neatly.
Caring for your Bella Donna products
Bella Donna fitted sheets and cushion covers are exceptionally easy to care for:
- washable at 60 degrees – important for hygiene and fabric stabilisation
- suitable for the tumble dryer on a medium setting
- use a colour detergent or a liquid detergent without optical brighteners
- no fabric softener – it impairs the elasticity and attacks the material
- no chlorine bleach
- washing inside out protects the weave
- do not mangle, as this puts too much strain on the fabric and the elastane
With good care, Bella Donna products last for many years and retain both their fit and their colour intensity.

Further premium manufacturers in the bed sector
Formesse is one of the most defining brands in the fitted-sheet segment, but it ideally complements other German premium manufacturers from our range.
