Sheets for 4' Bed - Help Please

s2sap

Anyone know where you can get fitted sheets for a 4 foot wide bed. Tried the usual shops and no joy.

Thanks in advance

i think internet shopping is the only way to go - i've yet to find a physical shop thats sells 4' bedding. i've only recently bought a 4 foot and i've not bought anything yet but i did a little search out and got plenty of hits - mostly american. they call the beds 3/4 size btw

I have no idea, I'm planning on using double sheets with sheet suspenders. Can I just ask where you got your bed/mattress? I'm having a 4' cast iron bed repainted atm and will need to buy a mattress for it.

I have a 4ft bed in the spare room for when my 18 month Grand daughter stays. My 2 year old bunks in with his Daddy and she sleeps in with me

I find ordinary double fitted sheets and valances are fine as long as the far side of the bed isn't in full view from the door. ie pull any excess to the far side so it looks ok from one side but not on close inspection from the other lol

After all what the eye doesn't see and all that.......

also double quilts are fine for a small double as they hang further over the sides.......no draughts

Starplan will make you a mattress to fit your 4' bed. We have been buying Vono ( Starplan ) beds and mattresses for all our family for over 10 years now and wouldnt buy anything else. Hope this helps Sleepymy.

Sound Asleep Factory Shop in Newtownards and Bangor stock a number of 4 foot mattresses.

dreams will also make mattress to what ever size you need ....... i have a 4' bed that belonged to my great aunt and and we were able to get a new matress about 20 years ago (its only used as a spare bed) but we had our bed made by dreams in bangor (6' wide by 7.5' long) hubby is rather long (6'8") but i take up most of the space:rolleyes: (5'2") we can get bedding from la redoute

Thanks for the mattress advice guys, sorry for the threadjack OP!

Ikea have 140cm fitted sheets http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90050236 they're a wee bit bigger but might do if you're stuck.

Try www.narrowboatsheets.com

Narrowboat beds are generally 4ft.

try www.homelinens.co.uk or www.andyslinens.com i think they are the same business. have used them before - good service if a bit on the pricey side.

John Lewis sell them, but only in store [not online]. Textiles Direct have a full range of colours at £6.99 and you can collect from store for free: quality not as good as JL obviously, but adequate.
