Super King Fitted Sheets: What to Know Before You Buy

 

If you love sprawling space and hotel-level comfort, a super king fitted sheet is essential. It anchors the look of the bed, protects the mattress and keeps every corner smooth. This guide covers sizing, fabrics and the premium details to look for so your next super king fitted sheet delivers a flawless, luxurious finish. If you’re browsing the full range, start with our curated Super King Size Bedding and dedicated Fitted Sheets pages.

Super King fitted sheet size & depth: get the fit right

Mattresses vary in height, so depth is just as crucial as width and length. When choosing a super king fitted sheet, check the corner depth against your mattress height (including toppers). Our product pages detail dimensions clearly; for example, many of our fitted sheets feature a generous 41 cm depth to suit deeper mattresses. If you need a refresher on UK sizes, explore the handy Bedding Size Guide and view an example size table on a product page such as our bamboo fitted sheet listing.

At-a-glance checklist

  • Confirm super king mattress dimensions and depth before adding to basket.
  • Match depth (e.g., 41 cm) so your super king fitted sheet stays secure.
  • Allow for toppers or protectors when measuring.
  • Prefer elastic that runs all the way around for a tight, corner-hugging fit.

Which fabric is best for a super king fitted sheet?

Fabric influences both feel and temperature. Cotton sateen offers buttery softness with a subtle sheen, bamboo is smooth and breathable with excellent moisture control, and flannelette brings seasonal warmth. Choose the feel that matches your sleeping style, then select the super king fitted sheet in your preferred collection, such as our 400-thread-count Ella Cotton or our cooling bamboo range.

How to measure your mattress

To ensure a perfect fit, measure length, width and height from the highest point of the mattress. Add any topper thickness to the total. With these numbers to hand, selecting a super king fitted sheet becomes simple—just match the depth and you’re set. Follow our step-by-step measuring guide for a quick walkthrough.

Design details that matter

Premium design touches elevate nightly comfort. Look for deep sides, robust 360° elastic and smart orientation markers that make bed-making intuitive. Our Product Features page explains the details behind a Sheet Story super king fitted sheet and why these touches keep your bed looking crisp day after day.
