Typically, a pillowcase has one opening on the short side of the fabric and extra fabric that will drape over a few inches, when placed over the pillow insert. This is the piece of fabric that creates a sheath or barrier between you and your pillow. The weight of our bodies shifting while sleeping creating friction on the fabric, causing wear. The elastic sewn on the edges create more stress on the fabric, especially when the fabric is being stretched across the mattress repeatedly. However, most of our purveyors accommodate custom orders for deeper or thinner sizes.įitted sheets have the potential to wear out more quickly than other bedding elements for a few reasons: 1. As a general rule, our fitted sheets have a gusset (AKA “pocket size” or “pocket depth”) that will fit mattresses up to 17” deep with enough room to tuck under the mattress. While American bed sizes have remained fixed, there are no standard mattress depths. These sheets are designed to keep from bunching and shifting while you sleep. The caveat here is that it is easier to wash a flat sheet than it is to remove, wash and put a duvet cover back on.Ī fitted sheet has pocket corners and elastic on all four sides to provide a snug fit to your mattress.
For the more travelled customer, who loves all things European, will sleep without a flat sheet, with the duvet directly hovering over them. Our recommendation is to use both a flat and a fitted sheet, with a coverlet and/or duvet to be used on top of the flat sheet. This decorative hem treatment allows you to fold back the flat sheet over the blanket, coverlet, or quilt, giving a well-dressed luxury bed its signature finesse and stylish elegance. Luxury flat sheets will have a European return-a deep turn-back cuff or hem that runs along the top of a flat sheet and continues down the side for a little over a foot or so, with a mitered hem at each corner. The wider hem folds back over your blanket, coverlet, or duvet, and can be finished with a simple stitch, hemstitch, or embroidery. The flat sheet is hemmed identically on three sides and has one larger hem on the fourth side. King flat sheets fit both King and Cal-King beds. Queen flat sheets fit both Full and Queen bed. Twin flat sheets fits both Twin and Twin Extra-long beds. Please refer to our Anatomy of a Bed illustration, highlighting each key element and its defining terms, so you will soon be an expert in planning your very own dream bed.Ī flat sheet is the largest piece of top fabric that doesn’t require a precise fit like a fitted sheet, and floats over you as you sleep.
