Fitted Sheets FAQs

Would King Fitted Sheet Be Too Big for Queen Mattress?

Yes, a king-size fitted sheet is not suitable for a queen mattress because of the significant size difference. A king fitted sheet measures 79 inches wide by 86 inches long, while a fitted sheet queen is designed for a mattress that measures 59 inches wide by 74 inches long. This size mismatch means there will be far too much excess fabric that cannot fit securely. As a result, the sheet will bunch up, look untidy, and feel uncomfortable during use. For the best fit and a neat appearance, we always recommend using fitted bed sheets specifically designed for the size of your mattress.

Flat Sheet vs Fitted Sheet

A flat sheet is a rectangular piece of fabric that lies flat on the mattress without any elastic. It is typically placed beneath a blanket or duvet, in direct contact with the body, and is used to keep your bedding clean. Its main advantage is flexibility—it can be folded easily and works with various bed sizes. It can also be used on its own as a lightweight cover.On the other hand, a fitted sheet has elastic corners that fit snugly over the mattress. The elastic ensures it stays securely in place, preventing it from slipping or shifting. This makes it ideal for people who move a lot while sleeping. If you have a thicker mattress, you might want to consider deep pocket fitted sheets, such as deep pocket fitted sheets queen, for a secure, comfortable fit.

How Many Inches Is a Deep Pocket Sheet?

Most deep pocket sheets fit mattresses between 13 and 17 inches (33 to 43 cm) high, making them ideal for thicker mattresses. You can accommodate taller mattresses by choosing an extra deep pocket sheet, which is designed for mattresses up to 18 to 24 inches high.

Please note that the fitted sheets offered by Ownkoti are suitable for mattresses with a height of 5-30 cm.

What Mattress Height Is Your Fitted Sheet Suitable For?

How to Choose the Fitted Sheet Size?

To choose the right size, measure the width, length, and height (thickness) of your mattress. If your mattress is thicker than 12 inches, you should opt for deep pocket fitted sheets, such as deep pocket fitted sheets queen or deep pocket king fitted sheets, depending on your mattress size. Make sure the fitted sheet’s dimensions match your mattress measurements to get the perfect fit.

What Size Fitted Sheet is a King?

A King sized fitted sheet typically fits a mattress that measures:

  • Width: 76 inches (193 cm)
  • Length: 80 inches (203 cm)

When buying a King fitted sheet, the sheet should correspond to these dimensions, ensuring a snug fit over the mattress. However, it's important to check specific product labels, as the exact measurements can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer or style.

Additionally, there are variations of King-size mattresses, such as:

  • California King: Measures 72 inches (183 cm) in width and 84 inches (213 cm) in length, so a fitted sheet for a California King will be a different size.

Always verify the size of your mattress before purchasing a fitted sheet!
