Fitted sheets for Fixed beds with corner cut off.

I have had problems with the fitted sheets (shaped) which you can buy online.  They seem to not have enough "under tuck" and therefore pucker up and are very uncomfortable to sleep on. The cotton is of cheap quality and I thought I would have to dig out my sewing machine and make some new ones.  

But I have found a superb sheet which is 300 thread count and fits perfectly.

They are from Wilko's;  Wilko Best Fitted Sheet Double.  They have a unique flexi-fit ends and loads of under tuck.  They feel like silk and are only £14.00. 

Give them a try - I am sure you will agree they are great value for money.  I have purchased three of these from my local store - they come in cream and white.

I have thrown away the purpose made sheets.

Hope this helps - let me know how you get on.

Sorry, who's sheets are the ones  that don't fit ? We are about to take delivery of our new van with a fixed bed and were going to buy a fitted sheet from Duvelay but am I wasting my money?

We bought a Duvalay fitted sheet for the fixed bed in the van.  It seemed reasonable quality and pleasant enough but it was far too small for the mattress in spite of giving Duvalay the exact measurements required.

In fact we disliked the fixed bed so much that we are now awaiting the arrival of our new 2 berth - back to a smaller caravan and it cannot come soon enough as the big beast with a fixed bed was our mistake.  Each to his or her own.

We use Wilko duvet covers for our quilt on our island side bed and have been pleased with the quality. We will give the Wilko sheets a try but at the moment have IKEA sheets which we keep for the 'van which have been excellent.

Last week in Exeter I was looking for Micro SD card and staff in an electronics shop advised that the best place to buy was Wilko. Got a 32GB card with adapter for under £10.

We use ordinary fitted sheets.  The ones I bought were from TKMAX.  I bought the fitted sheets with elastic all the way around, not just at the corners.  They work well. As the elastic goes all away around, the draw caused by the elastic is strong enough to pull it in far enough at the cut off corner.

Actually, I asked for assistance in the shop as is wasn't obvious which fitted sheets had the elastic all the way around and which had only the corners elasticated.  The assistant was quite happy to unpack the packets in order to find what I was looking for.  Very helpful!
