Fitted sheets for sofa bed

Caz3121

We have become the new owners of a Marks & Spencer sofa bed (like new off gumtree really pleased)
I am trying to find fitted sheets - unsuccessfully so far apart from made to size sheets that will cost as much as the sofa
Mattress size is L180 x W112 x D6cm
does anyone have an idea of where I can look?...have googled for hours with no success
thanks

I would try a fitted sheet for a small double or 3/4 bed as they call them. They are about 3-4 inches bigger than your sofabed mattress but I think you would get away with it. I've used normal double sheets on our 3/4 bed which are obviously 6 inches bigger and they've been fine. The site below has them from £10.

why not just use a flat sheet & tuck it in?

Indeed flat sheet..the vast majority of sofa beds are only designed for occassional use after all. Also note that the mattresses aren't as deep as a normal bed.
If you have needlework skills you could turn a flat sheet into a fitted sheet or alter one that's too big?

I always used a normal double for mine. Honestly, try it, it will be fine x

EDIT: I think you'll find a single duvet cover is about the same size, you can pick them up fairly cheap at argos and the like, or check the charity shops. Then you can just slot the mattress into the cover, and it won't go anywhere.

what a fab idea re the single duvet cover and as you say they are cheaper than a sheet, thanks
