Deep Walled Bed - Sheet Sets

Mattresses have grown taller over the years. Add a plush pillow-top, a topper for extra softness and a protector underneath, and an ordinary sheet suddenly struggles to reach the corners. If you've ever wrestled one into place only to find a corner sprung loose by morning, you'll know the feeling. A deep wall fitted sheet solves it, and our extra-depth sheet sets pair one with a matching flat sheet and pillowcases, so the whole bed looks neat and properly made.

Why the Wall Depth Makes All the Difference

The wall is the side panel of a fitted sheet, the part that runs down the edge of the mattress before the elastic tucks underneath. A standard fitted sheet in our sets uses a 40 cm wall, which suits plenty of everyday mattresses. Each deep wall fitted sheet in this collection goes to 50 cm, giving the fabric enough length to reach well under the base of a taller bed.

That extra length is what keeps everything in place. With more fabric gripping the underside, the elastic isn't stretched to its limit, so the corners hold when you roll over and the top of the bed stays smooth. There's also less strain on the corner seams, which means less wear as the sheets go through the wash week after week.

How to Choose the Right Deep Wall Fitted Sheet

Start with a tape measure. Measure your mattress from its base to the very top, including any topper or pillow-top, because that's the height the sheet has to cover. If the number comes close to the 40 cm wall of a standard fitted sheet, extra depth is the safer choice, as you'll want some fabric left over to tuck underneath.

Next, check the bed size. Our deep wall sheets come in queen, king, super king and split king, and the product pages list the measurements for each piece. Getting the size and the depth right together means the sheet sits flat across the top, rather than riding up at the edges or pulling the mattress cover out of shape.

Deep Wall King Fitted Sheets for Bigger Beds

Large beds and tall mattresses often go hand in hand, and a king or super king pillow-top can be the deepest mattress in the house. A deep wall king fitted sheet gives you the width you need with the depth to match, so a big bed looks just as crisp and tailored as a smaller one.

Sleep on an adjustable base? Our split king sets come with two separate fitted sheets, one for each half of the mattress, each with a 50 cm wall. Either side can tilt or lift without dragging the sheet off the other, while the flat sheet and pillowcases pull the bed together so it still looks like one.

Sateen, Australian Cotton or Egyptian Cotton?

Every deep wall fitted sheet set we offer is made from cotton, a natural fibre that breathes through warm Australian nights and softens with each wash. The real differences lie in weave and thread count, which give each one its own character:

• 400 thread count cotton sateen - A silky weave with a soft sheen that drapes nicely and feels cool when you first get into bed.
• 600 thread count Australian cotton - Made from 100% Australian cotton, with a smooth, refined finish and a wide elastic on the fitted sheet.
• 1000 thread count cotton - Long-staple cotton with a heavier, hotel-style hand, including sets with an embroidered edge or a wide sateen border.
• 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton - Our most refined sets, woven from long fibres that give a polished surface and resist pilling.

If you love a crisp, weighty, tailored bed, the higher thread counts are for you. If you'd rather have something smooth and easy to live with every day, sateen and Australian cotton are hard to beat. Colours run from white, linen and charcoal to blush, sage, navy, rust and mustard.
