While American bed sizes have remained fixed, there are no standard mattress depths. 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. However, most of our purveyors accommodate custom orders for deeper or thinner sizes.
Polycotton sheets or 'easy care' sheets are made with a blend of man-made polyester (a type of plastic) and cotton. Polycotton bed linen is generally cheap to buy and easy to care for. It dries quickly and doesn't require much ironing.

Cotton and cotton blends dominate the market, the most common blend being cotton/polyester. Cotton provides absorbency and a soft hand, while polyester adds durability and wrinkle resistance.[2] Other common fibers used in the manufacturing of bed sheets include linen, silk, Modal and bamboo rayon, lyocell, Microtex or Microfiber, and polypropylene. Polypropylene (olefin) is a hypoallergenic spun-bound material produced at a low cost and typically used in emergency shelters or hospitals as disposable sheeting.
A duvet cover encases and protects a duvet. Like an envelope, it has an opening where the comforter or duvet is inserted. Once placed inside, the opening is closed with buttons or occasionally a zipper. Duvet covers are generally very decorative and are available in a wide selection of colors and styles. The duvet cover takes the place of a top sheet in Europe, and some people in the U.S. also use it this way.
When it comes to achieving a neatly made bed, the fitted sheet stands out as a cornerstone. Designed with elastic corners, a fitted sheet wraps around the mattress, providing a taut and wrinkle-free surface. This precision ensures that no matter how much you toss or turn during sleep, the sheet remains in place, offering consistent comfort.
The choice of fabric plays a crucial role in the feel and durability of the sheet. Cotton, renowned for its breathability and softness, is a preferred choice for many. Its natural fibers wick away moisture, ensuring a cool and dry sleep environment, especially during warmer nights.
But the beauty of a fitted sheet goes beyond its functionality. The snug fit accentuates the size and shape of the mattress, giving the bed a polished look. Whether you have a standard queen-or king-sized bed there's a fitted sheet perfectly tailored for you.
