Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.

Cotton is loved by everyone since it is a durable and soft natural material that breathes. To care for both the environment and people, we only use cotton from more sustainable sources, which means that less water, fertilisers and pesticides are needed, while growers see higher profits. But we don’t stop there. We are constantly developing new methods to make the world we leave for our children even better.

A fitted sheet has elastic edging all around that makes it stay in place on the bed. This way, you won't be disturbed by a sheet that tangles and bunches up during the night. You'll find it easier to get a good night's sleep - and your bed will look tidier too!
