2ft 6 inch fitted sheets

I am trying to find single fitted sheets for a 2ft 6inch bed.
Tried Bargain Crazy, they have them but not in lavender or pink.
Can some one please help? Thanks

    Mothercare did them when my two were little, that was a few years ago I know but maybe they still do good luck

    If you can get what you want in 3' size, I would do that. You then tuck one side in 'normally', and pull the other side over tight. The corner which would have been at the top of the mattress on a 3' bed is now at the bottom, but it does work.

    The beauty of it is if you ever upgrade to a 3' bed you haven't got to replace all your sheets!

    I think you'll find that the major catalogues do the 2' 6" sheets. As do some of the department stores such as Allders.

    They used to be quite easy to find, especially when bunk beds came as standard 2' 6" width, but over the past few years 3ft has become the standard size for them, so the sheets have become harder to track down.

    If you're handy with a sewing machine it may be an idea to make your own. I did this in the past & it's relatively easy.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
  • I use ASDA smart price 3ft sheets on my sons 2ft 6 mattress and they fit perfectly, and are a bargain at £2.99 !.
