Jersey Sheeting
TkanIstanbul is a supplier that sells jersey sheeting wholesale by the roll from Istanbul and arranges contract manufacturing on request, for example of fitted sheets. Jersey sheeting is knitted in 100% cotton or with 3–5% elastane, usually at 130–160 g/m².
Jersey sheeting (penye or jarse in Turkish) is knitted rather than woven; its looped structure stretches so the sheet wraps snugly around the mattress. It comes in 100% cotton or with 3–5% elastane, usually at 130–160 g/m². It is used for fitted sheets, cot sheets and pillowcases. Knits can shrink more than wovens, so check the shrinkage rate before cutting. Prices are visible to members.

Frequently asked questions
- What does penye mean?
- Penye is Turkish for combed cotton yarn, and the word is also used for fabric knitted from it. Jarse and süprem mean the same single jersey structure.
- 100% cotton or with elastane?
- Cotton jersey stretches through its loops and absorbs moisture well. Elastane helps it recover after stretching, so fitted sheets grip the mattress more tightly.
- How deep should a fitted sheet pocket be?
- It depends on mattress depth; 20–30 cm is common.
- Does jersey sheeting shrink?
- Knits can shrink more than wovens in the wash. Ask for length and width shrinkage before cutting.
