    Question Fitted sheet for odd mattress size

    Hi,

    I am moving into a new apartment with a built-in bed and mattress, and need to find fitted sheets for an odd-sized mattress.

    The mattress measures 200cm x 120 cm, which is not a standard size carried at Ikea. I checked online, and according to Wikipedia it is an "Asia (Thailand) Double/Full".

    Any ideas?

    If pre-made fitted sheets are not available, does anyone have experience getting fitted sheets custom made?

    Thank you

    Custom made sheets are dead easy. You just buy the material and bring it to any of the small alternation/sewing stores that are dotted around Hong Kong.

    I did this a couple of years back. It was <100 to get custom sized sheets made up (I provided the material).

    Many of the shops in Lowu Shenzhen do custom sheets. Much cheaper than HK. Large fabric selection.
