If you sleep with an inbuilt topper on your mattress or have an additional layer, we’d always recommend choosing a 40cm depth fitted sheet or also known as a ‘deep’ fitted sheet. This has plenty of room to encase and also to stop the corners of the sheet pinging up whilst you’re asleep.
What is a deep fitted sheet called?

Start at a corner of your mattress and measure vertically from the top seam to the bottom seam.
