Fitted Sheet in Linen 180x200: The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right One

Sleeping in washed linen sheets means rediscovering the true comfort of a restorative night. The 180x200 cm linen fitted sheet is an essential part of a high-end bedding set, combining natural elegance and optimal well-being. Its generous dimensions fit perfectly on large beds and ensure a flawless hold night after night. Discover why this choice of bed linen will transform your sleep experience—and how to choose it wisely.

Why Choose a 180x200 cm Linen Fitted Sheet?

What Are the Benefits of Linen for a Fitted Sheet?

Natural linen is a fabric that revolutionizes your sleep, thanks to its many properties:

• Washed linen is a natural fabric that wicks away moisture in summer and retains warmth in winter

• A washed linen fitted sheet that becomes softer with every wash

• French linen withstands the test of time while retaining its natural beauty

• The natural fibers of washed linen reduce nighttime awakenings, unlike washed cotton, cotton gauze, cotton sateen, or cotton percale

• A worthwhile investment for years of restorative sleep thanks to long-lasting comfort

What Bed Size Is the 180x200 cm Dimension Ideal For?

Does the 180x200 cm size fit several types of beds?

• King size beds (180x200 cm): the standard size for this premium bedding format

• Queen size beds (160x200 cm): for optimal hold even with nighttime movement, opt for a 160x200 cm fitted sheet

A well-fitted washed linen sheet stretches harmoniously across these dimensions, creating a neatly tucked, comfortable, and aesthetic bed.

What’s the Difference Between Regular Linen and Washed Linen Fitted Sheets?

Plain washed linen undergoes a special treatment that gives it immediate softness and a natural crinkled look. Unlike raw linen, a washed linen sheet requires no break-in period and offers an incomparably silky feel from the very first use.

As for colors, the pre-washing process softens the natural fibers. So, whether you choose washed grey linen, washed pink linen, or even khaki green linen, your fitted sheet will retain its shape and softness, even after multiple machine washes.

What Depth of Pocket Ensures a Perfect Fit?

The pocket depth determines how well your washed linen fitted sheet stays on the mattress. For a standard-size mattress, choose a pocket depth of 25 to 30 cm. For thicker mattresses or those with a mattress topper, opt for a depth of 35 to 40 cm.

A suitable pocket prevents your sheet from coming off during the night. Thanks to its natural flexibility, washed linen perfectly hugs the mattress contours while maintaining ideal tension. At Linenshed, all our fitted sheets are available with custom pocket depth to ensure a perfect fit for any mattress height. We recommend choosing a pocket depth 10 cm greater than your mattress thickness so the elastic that encircles the entire fitted sheet secures it snugly underneath your bed.

How to Ensure Compatibility Between the Fitted Sheet and Your Mattress?

Measure your mattress in length, width, and height. Your 180x200 cm washed linen fitted sheet should match the surface dimensions exactly, with a few centimeters of ease. Depending on the mattress height, you’ll need to choose a deeper or shallower pocket.

Washed linen naturally adapts to various mattress firmness levels. Its flexible structure allows for a perfect fit, whether your bedding is firm or plush.

What Linen Density Should You Choose for Maximum Comfort?

For a washed linen fitted sheet, choose a density between 140 and 200 gsm. At Linenshed, our linen features a density of 190 gsm. This thickness offers the perfect balance between durability and softness. Denser linen ensures greater longevity and a more luxurious feel.

High-quality washed linen has a uniform density that guarantees consistent comfort across the entire sheet.

How to Care for a 180x200 cm Washed Linen Fitted Sheet?

Can Washed Linen Be Machine Washed Safely?

Washed linen is fully machine washable—it’s even recommended to maintain its softness. This natural material handles frequent washing very well without losing its quality or beneficial properties. In fact, your linen fitted sheet becomes more pleasant to the touch after each wash.

Select a gentle cycle suitable for delicate fabrics to preserve the beauty of your bed linen. Choose a mild, softener-free detergent to avoid damaging the linen fibers.

What Temperature Should You Use to Wash a Fitted Linen Sheet?

Wash your linen fitted sheet at a maximum of 40°C to preserve its natural fibers. This is the ideal temperature to remove impurities without damaging the fabric structure. For vibrant colors like khaki green or blue, this temperature helps preserve the brightness of the shades.

For a white sheet, a 40°C wash is sufficient to clean it gently while preventing dye transfer from other fabrics.

Should You Iron a Linen Fitted Sheet?

The naturally crinkled look of washed linen is part of its charm! Ironing is not necessary for a fitted sheet, especially since it naturally creases under the body overnight.

If you prefer a smoother appearance, iron your sheet while it’s still slightly damp. Washed linen is easy to smooth and quickly regains its natural look after use.

What to Pair With a 180x200 cm Linen Fitted Sheet?

Create a perfectly harmonious bedroom by pairing your fitted sheet with a complete washed linen bedding set:

• A washed linen duvet cover for a perfectly coordinated look and optimal comfort

• Washed linen pillowcases to match your fitted sheet and create a harmonious set

• A flat washed linen sheet to complete the ensemble and add an extra touch of elegance

• A washed linen bedspread to add a refined decorative element to your bedding

• A washed linen bed skirt to finish off your layout and achieve a fully dressed bed

Bringing all these washed linen elements together creates a soothing and natural atmosphere. Whether you choose timeless white, nature-inspired green, or bolder tones, your Linenshed bed linen turns your bedroom into a true wellness sanctuary.

For duvet covers, go for the same color as your fitted sheet or mix shades to create a sophisticated look. Plain washed linen blends perfectly with both solid colors and subtle patterns, offering a decorating flexibility that cotton simply can’t match.

At Linenshed, we take a comprehensive approach to linen bedding. From duvet cover to sheets, you’re guaranteed an exceptional sleep experience. The quality of French linen combined with our Portuguese craftsmanship offers a premium alternative to cotton and turns your home into a true haven of well-being.
