Wholesale Flat Sheets – Cotton, Polycotton, Sateen & Flame Retardant Bedding
Flat sheets are one of the most versatile bedding essentials. Unlike fitted sheets, they do not have elasticated corners and can be tucked in neatly under the mattress. Many households and institutions in the UK still prefer flat sheets because of their simple design, easy care, and adaptability. At The Towel Shop, we stock a wide collection of flat sheets in different fabrics, finishes, and thread counts. From everyday value ranges to luxury hotel-quality bedding, our flat sheets are made to meet diverse needs. We supply both individuals and businesses, offering wholesale flat sheets for hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, and care facilities.
