To keep your It-Fits sheets soft, stretchy, and long-lasting, just a little mindful care goes a long way. Made from 100 percent Australian cotton jersey, our fabric is naturally wrinkle-free, breathable, and easy to look after. Whether you love line drying or need a quick tumble dry, this guide will help you get the most from your It-Fits bedding.
This is your complete washing tips for electric bed sheets, fitted sheets and jersey sheets – the best way to wash fitted sheets and keep them like new.
Washing Instructions
Before first use, we recommend a separate wash to help your new sheets settle perfectly.
-
Wash separately before use
This removes any manufacturing residues and softens the fabric before your first sleep. -
Machine wash warm at 40°C with similar colours
A warm wash keeps your sheets hygienic while protecting the elasticity and softness of the jersey fabric. -
Use a mild detergent
Gentle formulas are kinder to the fabric, helping preserve its natural softness and stretch. -
Do not bleach
Bleach can break down cotton fibres and damage the structure of the knit, reducing durability. -
Expect a small amount of shrinkage after the first wash
Our cotton jersey products are designed with a 5–7 percent initial shrinkage in mind. We've factored this into the sizing, so your sheets will fit perfectly after the first wash – and continue to do so thanks to their elastic nature.
Drying Your Sheets
-
Line dry in the shade whenever possible
Line drying saves energy and helps maintain colour vibrancy. Jersey fabric dries quickly and naturally, so it’s an eco-friendly win. -
But don’t worry if the weather isn’t ideal, or there’s simply no time.
You can tumble dry on a warm setting. Our It-Fits sheets are made to handle gentle machine drying without losing shape or softness. The fabric retains its fit and comfort with ease.
Naturally Wrinkle-Free
The beauty of our cotton jersey is in its structure. The threads are interlaced in a way that allows the fabric to move and adapt.
This means:
-
Any wrinkles from drying will disappear the moment you fit the sheet to your bed.
-
No ironing required, ever.
Our sheets smooth themselves out once stretched across the mattress. It’s one of the reasons customers love the It-Fits difference. These are truly wrinkle-free fitted sheets – care tips that make life easier.
A Perfect Fit – No Need to Upsize
Did you know? With It-Fits, you don’t need to size up for adjustable or electric beds.
Our 100 percent cotton jersey fabric stretches and conforms to your mattress shape with ease. Whether your bed lifts, bends, or adjusts in multiple directions, your sheets will stay put without bunching or popping off.
Just select your actual mattress size – the stretch does the rest. Let us help you find the perfect fit – take our sizing quiz.
Extra Tips for Longevity
-
Avoid fabric softeners
While they make clothes feel soft, fabric softeners coat cotton fibres in a waxy layer. This reduces the fabric’s ability to breathe, which can trap heat and moisture. It also interferes with the natural flexibility of the jersey knit. Our jersey fabric is naturally soft and breathable, so you don’t need anything extra. -
Use a wash bag
A wash bag prevents friction with rough items like zippers, hooks or hardware.
It helps stop pilling and protects the fabric from potential snags, small holes caused by contact with other garments, and prevents pilling that happens during washing. -
Store sheets in a cool, dry place
This helps maintain fabric integrity and keeps them fresh between uses.
Magic Corners – No More Guessing
Every It-Fits fitted sheet includes Magic Corners, with easy-to-spot colour-coded tags.
This means you’ll always know which side goes to the head or foot of the bed – no more flipping or turning to get the orientation right.
It’s just one more way we make bedtime easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use fabric softener with It-Fits sheets?
A: No need. Fabric softeners can block the cotton’s natural airflow and reduce the breathability that makes jersey sheets so comfortable. Our fabric is already naturally soft and breathable.
Q: Are the sheets safe to tumble dry?
A: Yes. While line drying is preferred, tumble drying on a warm setting is perfectly fine. The jersey fabric retains its shape and softness after machine drying.
Q: Do I need to iron my sheets?
A: Not at all. Wrinkles smooth themselves out once the sheet is fitted to your bed.
Q: Will It-Fits sheets stay on my adjustable bed?
A: Absolutely. The stretch in our jersey knit ensures a snug fit that moves with your bed, keeping sheets in place all night.
Q: Do I need to size up for adjustable or electric beds?
A: No. Our fabric adjusts naturally, so just choose the standard size for your mattress – no need to calculate extra space.
Q: Will the sheets shrink after washing?
A: Our cotton jersey products will shrink around 5–7 percent after the first wash, and then never again. We've built this into our sizing. Even after shrinking, the fabric stays elastic and continues to stretch and fit perfectly without becoming too small.
Q: What are Magic Corners?
A: They are colour-coded corner tags that help you identify the head and foot of your sheet instantly, for effortless fitting every time.
