When I first started It-Fits, my goal was simple: to bring high-quality jersey fitted sheets to Australia. In my earlier blog post about how It-Fits began, I shared how this idea started from something so normal in Switzerland that I never imagined it could be special somewhere else.
What I didn’t expect was how far that idea would go. We never planned to target caravans, adjustable beds, or NDIS participants. Yet our sheets fit so well that they even worked perfectly on those tricky setups, the kind of beds most people struggle to find good sheets for.
People simply found us. They tried our sheets, realised how well they worked, and told others. It was only when the reviews started coming in that I noticed a pattern: customers mentioning adjustable beds and caravan setups, and certain sizes like long single, king single and long double selling far more than expected. That’s when I realised we were quietly helping people in ways I hadn’t even planned for.
The adjustable bed discovery
As more customers started sharing their experiences, we began hearing from people with adjustable beds who were thrilled to finally find sheets that stayed on. Many told me they had spent years trying different brands, even luxury ones made from Egyptian cotton sateen, but no matter how expensive or beautiful they were, the sheets still popped off as soon as the bed moved.
It quickly became clear that most people didn’t realise the problem wasn’t the quality of the fabric, but its structure. No matter how premium a woven sheet is, it’s still rigid; it simply can’t move with the mattress. Jersey, on the other hand, is naturally flexible and adapts as the bed shifts, which is why it stays perfectly in place. You can read more about this in our post on the difference between woven and jersey sheets.
It’s wonderful to see how something so simple can make such a difference in everyday comfort. And as more people with adjustable beds discovered this, another community started reaching out: caravan owners.
The caravan surprise
One of the biggest surprises came from caravan and campervan owners. At first, I hadn’t even thought about them, but when the first person told me they had been searching everywhere for sheets that actually fit, it suddenly made sense. Caravan, campervan and even boat beds come in all shapes and sizes, with round corners, short ends and unusual thicknesses that make standard sheets impossible to use.
Soon after, more caravan and campervan owners started reaching out. Many told me they had tried making their own sheets, using straps, or even ordering expensive custom-made ones. Hearing how our jersey fitted sheets solved that frustration was such a great feeling. It made me realise our design worked perfectly in spaces we had not even considered.
And I get it now. When you spend time on the road or in a van, the small comforts make the biggest difference. For many of our customers, these sheets have become that one essential item they always recommend, the thing that quietly makes life easier, night after night.
How Our Bedding Became Popular With NDIS Participants
Many participants with mobility challenges already use adjustable beds, and they soon realised our sheets could be funded through their NDIS plans. I began receiving messages from carers and occupational therapists who said their clients were thrilled to finally find something that worked.
We never set out to target NDIS funding; people simply discovered that our sheets qualified because they genuinely solved a problem. If you’d like to explore how to get your bedding funded through the NDIS, visit our NDIS information page for full details.
What These Stories Taught Me
These stories reminded me why we do what we do. Listening to our customers helped us uncover new ways our products make everyday life easier, sometimes in ways we never planned. It’s one thing to design great sheets, but another to see how they fit into people’s lives and bring real comfort.
FAQs
How did It-Fits become popular with caravan and adjustable bed users?
It happened naturally! Our jersey sheets fit so well that caravan and adjustable bed owners began recommending them to friends. They loved how the stretch-knit cotton stayed in place, even on tricky beds. Word of mouth spread quickly, and that’s how these communities discovered It-Fits.
Why is it so hard to find sheets for adjustable beds?
Most fitted sheets are woven, meaning they’re rigid and can’t move when the mattress bends. That’s why they pop off. Our jersey-knit cotton flexes naturally, hugging every corner and staying secure, even as the bed adjusts, without straps or clips.
Where can I find sheets for tricky mattresses with odd shapes, round corners, or unusual sizes?
It-Fits sheets are designed to adapt. The natural stretch of jersey-knit cotton means they mould perfectly to rounded corners, thinner caravan mattresses, or custom foam beds. You don’t need expensive custom-made sheets, just choose the right size from our range and enjoy the perfect fit.
Why can It-Fits bedding be funded through the NDIS?
Our fitted sheets make bed making easier for people with mobility needs or adjustable beds. Because they support daily living and comfort, they can often be purchased using NDIS funding. To learn how, visit our NDIS guide.
