Euro King Fitted Sheets

[Marggie]

I've used Textiles Direct also and found them to be very good.

Jacqui - many thanks - great site - great prices

This  is getting more technical now - as our bed is 160 x 200 and most sheets appear to be 152 x 200 (King - too small) or 189 x 200 (Super King - too big)

So apparently we have to have a Euro King 160 x 200 - so back to eBay   

Bl**dy EU - they complicate everything  :

160x200 is a standard size in Turkey and you can buy fitted sheets everywhere.
The textile shops, market, migros, you name it.
You can get cotton, terry or a material called penye in Turkish.
I have no idea what penye is called in English (according to google it is "combed" but it is a soft, stretchy fabric.

Ironing sheets is something I don't do even though my sheets are cotton

Dutchie - many thanks I will have a look in Migros tomorrow - would be much easier to buy them here :-)

By the way, fitted sheets are called lastıklı çarşaf.

Our nearest Ikea is 3 hours drive away   however, I always look at the sales in M.&.S , Next and also T.K.Maxx. I have used an online site for bedding which I can recommend as being very good.  This is it:
