Apex Furnishings Dark Grey Double Fitted Sheet (Extra Deep 16 Inch / 40cm pocket)
Product description
The essentials
Apex Furnishings’ Dark Grey Double fitted sheet is a brushed microfiber option aimed at people who want a smooth, comfortable feel without the usual faff. On paper, the appeal is simple: it’s lightweight, breathable, and treated to be non-iron, so you can get a tidy look even if you’re not big on ironing. The corners are elasticated, which should help it grip your mattress and stay put.
What matters for everyday use
If you’ve ever wrestled with fitted sheets popping off at the corners, this one is designed to “hug” the mattress thanks to the elasticated fit. It’s also positioned as extra-deep-pocket bedding: the pocket depth is 16 inch (40 cm). That matters quite a lot if your mattress has a thicker profile or you use a topper—an average fitted sheet can end up too short at the sides, and you’re left tugging it back into place.
For day-to-day practicality, the sheet is brushed microfiber (90GSM as stated). Brushed fabric usually feels softer against the skin, and because it’s described as lightweight and breathable, it’s a reasonable choice if you want comfort without feeling overly heavy through the night.
There’s also the “easy care” angle: it’s labelled non-iron and fine-stitched, with “easy to take on and off”. That combination is often what you buy when you want bedsheets that don’t turn into a weekend project.

Where it shines, and where it might fall short
This fitted sheet makes the most sense if you prioritise an easy-care routine and a secure fit for deeper mattresses. The extra-deep pocket and elasticated corners are the main reasons it’s worth a look, especially if you’ve previously found fitted sheets too tight, too loose, or awkward to manage.
That said, a couple of limitations are worth keeping in mind. First, you should expect fitted sheets to vary slightly depending on how your mattress topper affects thickness—if your setup is unusual, it can still feel like a “close call” even with a stated 40cm pocket depth. Second, the product states the dark grey may look slightly different due to lighting and monitor effects, so it’s not the type of item to rely on for exact colour matching.
Practical tips for getting the fit right
Before you wash and bed it in, it helps to check your mattress thickness (including any topper). The stated 16 inch / 40 cm pocket depth is a strong clue, but it’s still smart to measure rather than guess.
When putting it on, elasticated corners work best with a bit of patience: stretch each corner over the mattress first, then smooth the sides evenly so the fabric doesn’t bunch. It’s a small step, but it’s usually what keeps a fitted sheet looking neat through the week.
Mini FAQ
Is this fitted sheet genuinely non-iron?
It’s described as non-iron, and the care instructions focus on cold gentle washing and low tumble drying. That suggests you should be able to skip ironing in normal circumstances, though results can still depend on how you dry it.
What’s the pocket depth, and why does it matter?
The pocket is listed as 16 inch (40 cm). A deeper pocket generally helps when you’ve got a thicker mattress or topper, making it less likely the sheet rides up at the corners.
How should I wash it?
Wash dark colour separately, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
Will the dark grey match perfectly?
Not guaranteed—there’s a note that colour may vary slightly due to lighting and monitor effects.
Should you buy it?
A solid pick if you want a comfortable brushed microfiber fitted sheet that’s easy to care for and built for deeper mattresses, with an elasticated, secure feel. It’s especially sensible if you’re tired of ironing and want a more “wash, dry, make the bed” routine.
You may want to skip it if you’re shopping for a very specific colour match or if your mattress setup is unusually thick in a way that isn’t covered by a 16 inch / 40 cm pocket. It also isn’t the best choice if you prefer a more structured, heavyweight feel rather than a lightweight, breathable microfiber approach.
