Cotton Percale Bed Sheets

Queen bed sheets cut to the true 60 × 80 in. queen mattress — with shrinkage allowed for at the mill, so the finished laundered dimensions are the ones that match your bed. Our queen bed sheets are 100% combed long-staple cotton in a 400 thread count percale, single-ply, with a 17 in. deep pocket, full-perimeter elastic and a generously-cut 94 × 108 in. flat sheet. Why most queen bed sheets are sold short Queen is the size most beds in most homes actually are, which is why queen sheets are also the size most often sold short. A set cut tight to 60 × 80 in. and then shrunk in its first hot wash is the reason so many people end up wrestling a corner over a mattress that used to fit. Our queen bed sheets are cut with that first wash accounted for: the finished, laundered dimensions are the ones that match your bed, not the pre-wash cut that turns into a size-down after one cycle. Specifications Cut: Standard queen (60 × 80 in.) Fiber: 100% combed long-staple cotton Weave: Percale, 400 thread count, single-ply Fitted-sheet pocket: 17 in. Elastic: Full-perimeter (not corner-gathered) Flat sheet: 94 × 108 in. Pillowcases: Two standard, 20 × 30 in. Shrinkage: Pre-allowed at mill — finished size is stated size Why full-perimeter elastic matters on a queen fitted sheet On a queen mattress full-perimeter elastic matters less than it does on a king, but it is still the difference between a sheet that survives a restless night and one that is off two corners by morning. Corner-gathered elastic fails progressively; perimeter elastic distributes the tension and keeps the sheet on the mattress the way a fitted sheet is supposed to. Measuring for queen bed sheets — do this first Measure your mattress from the seam at the top to the seam at the bottom before you order. Toppers and pillow-tops both eat pocket depth — a standard queen with a 3 in. topper needs a 20 in. pocket, not 17. If your mattress plus topper exceeds 17 in., choose our deep pocket queen option instead.

Our queen fitted sheet fits a standard 60 × 80 in. queen mattress with a 17 in. pocket. The flat sheet measures 94 × 108 in., pillowcases are 20 × 30 in. Will queen bed sheets fit a full or double bed? The flat sheet will (with a deeper tuck than usual); the fitted sheet will not — it is six inches too wide. For a full/double, buy full bed sheets specifically. Do queen bed sheets fit an Olympic queen? No — Olympic queen mattresses are 66 in. wide (six inches wider than standard queen). A standard queen fitted sheet will not seat properly. Choose our Olympic queen size instead. What pocket depth do queen bed sheets need? 17 in. covers most standard queen mattresses. For pillow-tops or beds with toppers over 17 in. total, choose the deep-pocket queen option.
