As much as people can make mistakes when buying a mattress, there are also common mistakes people make when buying fitted sheets to accompany their favourite bedding sets.
M&S Home revealed that searches for 'bed sheets that stay on' has risen by 20% in the past month alone, to which their homeware textile designer, Lydia Lloyd shared a simple trick.
'To ensure your bed sheets stay on the bed, opt for a deep fitted sheet as the extra material in the sizing will reduce the risk of it slipping off the corners of the bed,' she advises. 'Remember to tuck the sheets properly under the bed.'
