What Are the Benefits of a 140x190 cm Linen Fitted Sheet?

Washed linen has exceptional qualities that make it the ideal choice for your bedding.

• Thermoregulating properties: keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter

• It gets better with time: unlike cotton, washed linen becomes softer after each wash

• Highly breathable: naturally wicks away moisture to keep you dry all night

• Hypoallergenic: ideal for sensitive skin and children

The 140x190 linen fitted sheet is available in a wide palette of colors:

• White: timeless for a bright, clean look

• Grey: sophisticated for a modern, calming vibe

• Blue: soothing to recreate a coastal atmosphere

• Pink: powdery for a soft romantic touch

• Green: natural for a bohemian and authentic feel

Each shade highlights the linen's subtle textures and complements all styles of decor.

Which Pocket Depth to Choose for a 140x190 cm Linen Fitted Sheet?

Besides the fitted sheet's size, selecting the right pocket depth is essential for a perfect fit on your mattress.

  Fits most 140x190 cm mattresses
  The most common and versatile option

• 30 cm pocket – Deep:
  Ideal for thick mattresses or those with toppers
  Perfect fit to prevent slipping during the night

• 35 cm pocket – Extra Deep:

What Bed Size Is a 140x190 cm Linen Fitted Sheet Suitable For?

How to Care for a 140x190 cm Linen Fitted Sheet?

Caring for washed linen requires just a few simple steps to preserve its natural beauty wash after wash:
