- Pros: The colour-coding system is a genuine time-saver for busy housekeeping teams.
- Cons: A polycotton blend may feel less premium than 100% cotton to some guests.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Portsmouth was looking to modernise its 20 guest rooms. Their existing linen was a collection of mismatched whites that looked tired and was a nightmare for the housekeeping team to sort after laundering.
"The difference is night and day. The rooms look so much smarter with the navy sheets, and the little red tabs mean our staff can sort the laundry in half the time. It’s a small change that has made a really big, positive impact on our daily operations."
Robert Green – General Manager
The hotel's housekeeping team reported a 25% reduction in time spent sorting and preparing linens for rooms, allowing them to focus on other details.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the sheet a wash before its first use to soften the fabric and ensure maximum comfort.
- The 25cm depth and elasticated corners are designed for a quick, snug fit on standard double mattresses.
- For a perfectly smooth look, tuck the corners securely under each corner of the mattress.
Keeping It Going
- To keep the navy colour rich and vibrant, wash at lower temperatures with similar colours.
- Tumble dry on a medium setting and remove promptly from the dryer to minimise creasing.
- Use the red colour-coded tab to your advantage! It makes pairing and storing with other double sheets a breeze.
- Avoid using harsh chlorine bleaches, as they can damage the fabric's fibres and cause the colour to fade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this sheet 100% cotton?
A: It’s a high-quality 50/50 polycotton blend. This is intentional, as it provides the ideal balance of guest comfort with the durability and easy-laundering properties needed for commercial use.
Q: Will the navy colour fade?
A: The fabric is colourfast and designed to hold its colour well. For best results, wash with similar colours and avoid harsh bleaches to keep it looking sharp.
Q: What is the red label for?
A: That's Mitre's clever colour-coding system. The red tab is a quick visual cue that it's a double-size sheet, which saves a huge amount of time when sorting laundry.
Q: Will this fit my very deep mattress?
A: It has a standard 25cm (approx. 10-inch) depth. It's perfect for most standard mattresses but might be a tight fit on exceptionally deep or plush pillow-top versions.
Q: Can I tumble dry this fitted sheet?
A: Absolutely. It can be tumble dried on a medium heat setting. We recommend removing it promptly once dry to help reduce wrinkles.
Q: Is this double size navy fitted sheet suitable for a professional B&B?
A: Yes, completely. It's from the Mitre Essentials range, which is specifically designed to meet the demands of the UK hospitality industry.
Q: Do you sell matching pillowcases and duvet covers?
A: Yes, matching navy pillowcases and duvet covers are available as part of the Spectrum Collection, allowing you to create a fully coordinated, professional look.
Q: What makes this a 'commercial' sheet?
A: It's all in the construction. The robust polycotton weave is engineered to withstand the frequent, high-temperature washing cycles that are standard in commercial laundries, unlike typical domestic sheets.

Ever tried to find a specific key on a massive bunch of identical-looking keys? That's what sorting laundry in a hotel can feel like. At a glance, a double sheet and a king-size sheet look frustratingly similar when they're folded in a pile. This is where Mitre's colour-coding system is so brilliant. They simply sew a small, coloured tab onto each piece of linen – in this case, a red tab for 'Double'. It's a simple visual cue that instantly tells your staff what size they're grabbing. This completely cuts out the guesswork, speeds up making the beds, and prevents that annoying moment of realising you've put the wrong size sheet on. It’s a tiny detail that saves time, reduces mistakes, and just makes life easier for your team.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: Ideal for creating a smart, uniform look in guest rooms that’s brilliantly easy to maintain.
- Boutique B&Bs: The deep navy colour adds a touch of modern luxury to your unique decor scheme.
- Student Accommodation Providers: A fantastically durable and budget-friendly option that withstands frequent washing and heavy use.
