Pamposh Super King Extra Deep Fitted Sheet (40 cm / 16 inches) in brushed microfibre
Product description
The essentials
A fitted sheet might sound like a simple purchase, but it’s the bit that either stays put all night… or drives you mad with corners popping up. The Pamposh super king fitted sheet is designed for extra-deep mattresses (up to 40 cm / 16 inches), using an elastic fit and deep pockets to keep the fabric wrapped tightly.
It also leans into comfort and practicality: a brushed microfibre feel, breathable fabric for everyday sleeping, and care instructions that are straightforward (machine washable, tumble dry on low). If you’ve ever bought a sheet that looks fine for the first night and then slowly loosens, this is exactly the problem it’s trying to solve.
Worth noting, though: “hypoallergenic” is claimed in the product description, so if you have severe allergies you may still want to check whether it matches your specific requirements and routine.
Key points
The standout idea here is the extra-deep pocket depth paired with elastic fitting. On paper, that combination should reduce slipping, bunching and the “wriggling loose” feeling you get with standard fitted sheets.
The fabric is described as ultrasoft and breathable, and it’s positioned as a super king option made to stay looking neat. Shrink and fade resistance is also mentioned, so the promise is that the colour remains more stable wash after wash. That’s the kind of everyday durability you typically care about more than flashy extras.
If you’re buying for a super king bed and you’re fairly sure your mattress is on the deeper side, this sheet makes more sense than a regular fitted sheet with shallower pockets.
What you’ll notice in day-to-day use
The experience you’re buying is mostly about fit and feel.
With extra deep pockets and elastic bands, the aim is to make fitting easier and keep the sheet secure once it’s on the mattress. The description even mentions that it’s shaped with a unique stitching pattern to help it envelop the mattress “like a glove”. In practical terms, you’re looking for fewer adjustments after making the bed.
Comfort-wise, the brushed microfibre is meant to feel soft against the skin, while breathability is intended to support temperature comfort across the night.
A small reality check: even the best fitted sheets can struggle if the mattress height doesn’t actually match the claimed pocket depth, so measuring your mattress thickness is a sensible step.
Where it shines (and where it may not)
This is a solid choice if you want a super king fitted sheet for a mattress up to 40 cm / 16 inches and you care about: - staying-in-place performance (deep pockets + elastic fitting) - a softer, brushed feel rather than a crisp cotton-style texture - simpler maintenance, with machine washing and tumble drying on low - colour retention, since shrink and fade resistance is specifically mentioned
It may not be the best match if: - your mattress is outside the “up to 40 cm / 16 inches” range, because the fit is the whole point here - you prefer a specific fabric type (for example, if you’re firmly team cotton), since this is microfibre - you’re expecting “fade resistant” to be the same as stain-proof fabric, the description is about shrink and colour fade, not spill resistance
Things to check before you buy
Before committing, it’s worth verifying a couple of basics so you don’t end up blaming the sheet when the fit is actually the issue.
First, check your mattress thickness against the “up to 40 cm / 16 inches” guidance. If your mattress is deeper than that, extra deep pockets won’t magically stretch further than they’re designed to.
Second, skim the care note: bleach is not recommended as it can ruin the fabric. If you use bleach for whites or heavily soiled bedding, you’ll need a different approach.
Finally, if you’re buying for allergy reasons, remember the description uses “hypoallergenic” language but doesn’t specify what it’s hypoallergenic against—so it may still not suit everyone’s triggers.
Pros
- Extra deep pocket design intended for mattresses up to 40 cm / 16 inches
- Elastic fitting for easier installation and a more secure wrap
- Brushed microfibre described as ultrasoft, plus breathable fabric for everyday comfort
- Claims of shrink and fade resistance to help maintain colour over time
- Machine washable and tumble dry on low, bleach not recommended
Final verdict
Is it worth it? Yes, if you’re after a super king fitted sheet that’s built for extra-deep mattresses and you want the day-to-day win of fewer loose corners and less wrinkling. The combination of deep pockets and elastic bands is the main reason this stands apart from more basic fitted sheets.
It’s not the best choice if your mattress thickness doesn’t sit within the stated “up to 40 cm / 16 inches” range, or if you strongly prefer another fabric type. If you prioritise comfort and a neat look with practical, low-fuss care, this one fits the brief.
