Part of your traditional sheet set, a flat sheet and fitted sheet each provide a different purpose and depending on the material and weave, can give you your best sleep. Learn the main differences between the flat and fitted sheet and how they can improve your rest. 

What is a Fitted Sheet?

Made to wrap around the edges of your mattress, the fitted sheet features elastic around the entire edge of the sheet for a snug, tight fit that is meant to keep the entire night. Our Egyptian cotton fitted sheets come equipped with corner straps for added reinforcement and an easy application onto the bed. The fitted sheet acts as a barrier between you and the mattress so you can sleep comfortably while protecting your mattress from sweat, oil, dirt and other unwanted stains that could occur. 

What is a Flat Sheet?

The flat sheet, or also referred to as the top sheet, lies on top of the fitted sheet and gets draped over you sandwiching you between the fitted and flat sheet. This provides a breathable layer between you and any blankets, duvets, and comforters. While a flat sheet typically comes with every complete sheet set, some prefer not to use a flat sheet and use their comforter or blanket directly over themselves during the night. Choose sheets made with quality materials for durable, reliable bedding that will have you sleeping your best for many years.

What are the Best Sheets?

Opt for sheets made with 100% Egyptian cotton for the softest, smoothest and most breathable sleep yet. Derived from the Nile River Valley in Egypt, Egyptian cotton is extremely rare and results in high quality soft, smooth, and durable fabric that is noticeably different from traditional cotton sheets. Pair with an Egyptian cotton duvet cover for the most luxurious sleep that mimics the look and feel of a 5-star hotel.
