Flat sheets

A flat sheet is a rectangular piece of bedding without elastic, used to cover the mattress. It can be placed between the sleeper and the duvet or used as a blanket.

A flat sheet is generally placed on the mattress, under the duvet or bedspread, to add a layer of comfort. It can also be used as a top sheet in an unmade bed.

To assess the quality of a sheet, check the type of material, the thread count, and the finish. High-quality cotton sheets, soft to the touch and well-woven, indicate good quality.

The best quality sheets depend on the material. Egyptian cotton and cotton satin are prized for their softness, durability, and comfort, providing a pleasant sleeping experience.

For quality sheets, choose a thread count between 200 and 800. A higher thread count, especially in cotton, generally means more softness and durability.

Flat sheets are available in different sizes: 180x290 cm for a standard double bed, 240x300 cm for king-size beds, ensuring full coverage and a good drape.

The oversized flat sheet often measures 300x300 cm or more. These dimensions are ideal for oversized beds, providing exceptional comfort and coverage.

To choose a flat sheet, consider the material, size, and style. Opt for breathable and soft fabrics, and make sure it fits well on your bed for optimal comfort.
