The 140x200 Linen Fitted Sheet: How to Combine Comfort and Elegance for Your Bedding

When looking for the perfect balance between comfort and style for your bedding, the 140x200 linen fitted sheet is an ideal choice. This intermediate size offers more space than a standard double bed without being too bulky. Opting for washed linen is also a great idea—its natural charm and outstanding properties make it a must-have for any bedding set.

What bed size is a 140x200 linen fitted sheet suitable for?

A 140x200 cm linen fitted sheet fits beds that are 140 cm wide, known as “European queen size” beds. This dimension is ideal for couples who want more space than a 120 cm bed without going up to a 160 cm king size.

What fitted sheet depth should you choose for a 140x200 linen sheet?
The fitted sheet depth determines how well the sheet will wrap around your mattress. For a standard mattress, a 25 to 30 cm depth is usually sufficient. However, since modern mattresses tend to be thicker, we recommend a 35 cm depth for your linen fitted sheet.

At Linenshed, our linen fitted sheets are designed with a generous depth to keep them perfectly in place—even on high mattresses. This attention to detail ensures a flawlessly made bed every morning.

What are the benefits of a 140x200 linen fitted sheet?

Linen is known for its exceptional bedding qualities:

• Natural thermoregulation: keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter

• Optimal moisture absorption: washed linen naturally wicks away moisture while remaining breathable

• Softness that improves over time: our linen fitted sheets get softer with each wash

• Natural elegance: the crumpled look of linen brings relaxed sophistication to your bed

At Linenshed, we offer a wide range of colours to suit every taste and décor. Our washed linen bedding sets with fitted sheets are available in white, blue, green, brick red, coral, or lilac.

How to care for your 140x200 linen fitted sheet?

Follow these care tips to maintain its natural beauty over time:

• Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C with a mild detergent and no fabric softener

• Air dry whenever possible, avoiding direct sunlight

• Tumble dry on low heat if needed

• Ironing is optional—if preferred, iron while slightly damp on medium heat

Unlike cotton or cotton percale, which requires precise ironing, linen embraces its wrinkles with style. Washed linen handles frequent washing well and becomes even softer over time.

Investing in a high-quality 140x200 linen fitted sheet means choosing long-lasting, environmentally friendly bedding that supports your comfort and well-being.
