Olympic Queen Bed Sheets

Olympic queen bed sheets cut to the true 66 × 80 in. expanded queen mattress — six inches wider than a standard queen, the exact size older bed frames, custom builds and many RV mattresses use. Our Olympic queen bed sheets are 100% combed long-staple cotton in a 400 thread count percale, with a 17 in. deep pocket, full-perimeter elastic and a proportionally-cut 100 × 108 in. flat sheet. Made to order in 14 days.

Why Olympic queen bed sheets have to be a separate size

Six inches does not sound like much until it is six inches of missing sheet. An Olympic queen measures 66 × 80 inches against a standard queen’s 60 × 80 — same length, wider body — and a queen fitted sheet put on one will stretch across the top, pull the corners up off the mattress and be off by morning. Most owners try it once, decide the sheet was faulty, and try it again with a second set. Olympic queen bed sheets exist precisely because standard queen won’t do the job.

Where Olympic queen bed sheets are needed

The size turns up more often than its obscurity suggests: it is a common specification in RVs and in older or bespoke bed frames, and some mattress makers offer it as an “expanded queen” without ever using the word Olympic. If your mattress measures 66 inches across, this is the size regardless of what the label calls it.

How to measure — a common ordering mistake

Measure across the middle of the mattress, not the frame, and not the box the mattress arrived in. Frame width and mattress width can differ by an inch or two on either side. If your measurement is 66 in. across the mattress top, choose Olympic queen. If it’s exactly 60, choose standard queen bed sheets.

Made to order — why we don’t hold stock

Cut to order in 14 days rather than held in stock. Olympic queen is a specialty size — the volume does not support warehouse inventory the way standard queen does — but every set is finished to the same specification and shipped within two weeks of ordering.

Practical advice on Olympic queen bed sheets

Because this is a specialty size, keeping a second set is more practical than usual — a replacement is rarely something you can pick up locally at short notice. Buy in pairs the first time and you avoid the 14-day wait when the primary set is in the wash.

How to care for your Olympic queen bed sheets

• Machine wash warm with like colors
• Tumble dry low; remove promptly to reduce ironing
• Skip fabric softener — reduces breathability of woven cotton
• Iron warm if a pressed finish is desired
• Rotate two sets to reduce the impact of the 14-day replacement lead time
