Bed Sheet Sizes Guide: Flat, Fitted and Pillowcase Measurements

Bed sheet sizes guide: flat, fitted and pillowcase measurements

Bed sheet sizes are listed by three measurements: the flat sheet, the fitted sheet with its pocket depth, and the pillowcase. If you are weighing up the smaller sizes, our guide to twin vs full vs queen sheets covers that choice. This guide gives the exact figures for two California Design Den sheet sets, from twin to split king.

Sheet sizes are not identical across every set, even within one brand. We publish a size guide on each product page, and those guides do not always match line for line. The two sets in this guide share the same fitted sheet widths and lengths, yet their flat sheets, pillowcases and some pocket depths differ.

That is why we list every figure by product rather than as one general chart. Here is what you will find below:

• The exact measurements bed sheet sizes are sold in for each set, in inches
• A centimeter conversion for readers who shop in metric
• What each piece in a set measures, and how the pieces work together
• A short checklist for choosing the right fit before you order

Quick answer: bed sheet sizes at a glance

A sheet set is sized to the bed it fits, from twin through cal king, with split king in one set here. Each size lists a flat sheet by width and length, a fitted sheet by width, length and pocket depth, and a pillowcase by width and length.

The fitted sheet figures to check first

The fitted sheet is the piece that has to match your bed, so start there. Both sets in this guide use the same fitted sheet width and length at every size they are made in:

• Twin fitted sheet: (39" W x 75" L)
• Twin XL fitted sheet: (39" W x 80" L)
• Full fitted sheet: (54" W x 75" L)
• Queen fitted sheet: (60" W x 80" L)
• King fitted sheet: (78" W x 80" L)
• Cal king fitted sheet: (72" W x 84" L)

What changes from one sheet set to another

Pocket depth, flat sheet size and pillowcase size can change between sets. Always read the row for the exact set you are buying.

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set has 16" deep pockets on its full, queen, king and cal king fitted sheets. Its twin, twin XL and split king fitted sheets have 15" deep pockets.

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set has 16" deep pockets on its queen, king and cal king fitted sheets. Its twin, twin XL and full fitted sheets have 15" deep pockets.

Bed sheet sizes chart for California Design Den sheet sets

The two charts below come straight from each product's size guide. All figures are in inches, with the fitted sheet shown as width x length x pocket depth.

How to read this chart:

• Find your bed size in the first column, then read across for each piece.
• In the queen row, the queen flat sheet in this set measures (90" W x 102" L), and you can compare more options in our queen bed sheets collection.
• The split king row lists two fitted sheets, because a split king bed is made up of two separate halves.

Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set size chart

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set is made in twin through cal king. Split king is not part of this set's size range.

Look closely at the queen, king and cal king rows in this chart. The flat sheets and pillowcases here are cut to their own figures, so read this chart on its own terms rather than assuming it matches another set.

If you are comparing the smaller and mid-size options, our guide to twin vs full vs queen sheets walks through that choice.

Flat, fitted and pillowcase bed sheet sizes in inches

Every sheet set is built from three pieces, and each one is measured differently. Knowing the three measurements bed sheet sizes are described by makes any size guide easier to read.

Flat sheet size: width and length

A flat sheet is listed by width and length only. It is cut larger than the fitted sheet so it can drape over the sides of the bed and tuck in at the foot.

• The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set queen flat sheet measures (90" W x 102" L).
• The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set king flat sheet measures (112" W x 102" L).

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set flat sheet has a 4" single pleat hem. That finished edge is the part that folds back over the top of your blanket or duvet.

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set queen flat sheet measures (96" W x 102" L). The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set king flat sheet measures (112" W x 104" L).

For every king measurement in one place, see our guide on how big is a king size sheet.

Fitted sheet size and pocket depth

A fitted sheet is listed by width, length and pocket depth. The pocket depth is the height of the elasticated sides that wrap around the corners of your bed.

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set fitted sheet has 12mm elastic running the full edge. Its queen fitted sheet measures (60" W x 80" L) with a 16" deep pocket.

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set queen fitted sheet measures (60" W x 80" L) with a 16" deep pocket. Its full fitted sheet measures (54" W x 75" L) with a 15" deep pocket.

Both sets share these standing construction features on the fitted sheet:

• All-around elastic, so the sheet grips every edge rather than just the corners
• Head and foot tags, so you can tell which way the sheet goes on the first try

Pillowcase size and closure style

Pillowcases are listed by width and length, and the length is what changes between sizes. Pillowcases in both sets have a 4" hem.

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set uses classic side-opening pillowcases:

• Twin, twin XL and full sets: (21" W x 30" L) pillowcases
• Queen set: (21" W x 32" L) pillowcases
• King, cal king and split king sets: (21" W x 40" L) pillowcases

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set uses envelope closure pillowcases, which tuck the pillow out of sight:

• Twin, twin XL, full and queen sets: (21" W x 30" L) pillowcases
• King and cal king sets: (21" W x 36" L) pillowcases

Bed sheet sizes from twin to split king

Each size below is written out one piece at a time, so you can check the exact figure you need. Every pocket depth names its set and size.

Twin and twin XL sheet sizes

Twin and twin XL sheet sets come as three pieces: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and one standard pillowcase. The two sizes share the same flat sheet and pillowcase, and the difference sits in the fitted sheet length.

• A twin fitted sheet measures (39" W x 75" L) in both sets.
• A twin XL fitted sheet measures (39" W x 80" L) in both sets.
• The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set twin XL fitted sheet has a 15" deep pocket.
• The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set twin XL fitted sheet has a 15" deep pocket.

The twin XL fitted sheet at (39" W x 80" L) is longer than both the twin and full fitted sheets, which are 75" long. Choose twin XL sheets only if your twin bed is the extra-long version.

Full and queen sheet sizes

Full and queen sheet sets come as four pieces: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases. A full fitted sheet measures (54" W x 75" L) in both sets. A queen fitted sheet measures (60" W x 80" L) in both sets.

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set has a 16" deep pocket on its full fitted sheet. Its full flat sheet measures (84" W x 96" L).

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set has a 15" deep pocket on its full fitted sheet. Its full flat sheet measures (84" W x 96" L).

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set is also made as a 6-piece set in full, queen, king and cal king. That version adds two extra pillowcases.

Once you have your queen figures, you can compare sets side by side in our queen bed sheets collection.

King, cal king and split king sheet sizes

King and cal king sheet sets come as four pieces: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two king pillowcases. The two sizes are shaped differently, so the fitted sheets are not interchangeable.

• A king fitted sheet measures (78" W x 80" L) in both sets.
• A cal king fitted sheet measures (72" W x 84" L) in both sets.
• The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set king fitted sheet has a 16" deep pocket.
• The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set king fitted sheet has a 16" deep pocket.

King is the wider of the two, and cal king is the longer. You can browse the full range of king size bed sheets in cotton when you have your size settled.

A split king sheet set in the Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set comes as five pieces: one flat sheet, two twin XL fitted sheets and two king pillowcases. Each of those fitted sheets measures (39" W x 80" L) with a 15" deep pocket.

California Design Den sheet sets in every bed sheet size

Size decides whether a sheet fits. Feel decides whether you love it. Both sets in this guide are sateen weave, and each has its own hand on the bed.

Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set: feel and cotton

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set feels soft, smooth and airy, with a gentle sheen. It is silky-soft to the touch and glides across the bed, with a balanced everyday weight.

• Fabric: 100% long-staple cotton, sateen weave
• Feel: a smooth, breathable texture for everyday comfort
• Care bonus: it gets softer with every wash

Thread count describes weight and feel. At 400 thread count, the Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set has a balanced hand that sits comfortably on the bed.

Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set: feel and cotton

The Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set has a smoother, silkier feel with a soft sheen. It is lightweight, with extra-long staple cotton's smooth hand, and it is not thick.

• Fabric: 100% extra-long staple Egyptian cotton, sateen weave
• Feel: smooth and silky, with a soft sheen
• Pillowcases: envelope closure for a tidy finish

That lightweight hand is a feature. It suits anyone who likes their sheets to feel smooth and easy on the bed rather than weighty.

Cotton, testing and honest value behind every sheet size

Both sets are 100% natural cotton, with no petroleum-based synthetic fibers, no polyester, no microfiber. 

Third-party testing backs up what you feel:

• The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set is backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Most of our cotton sheets are made in our family-owned facility. Crafted for calm. Priced with honesty.

How to choose bed sheet sizes that fit your bed

The right sheet size comes down to three checks: the fitted sheet, the flat sheet and the pillowcase. Work through them in that order.

Measure before you pick a sheet size

Measure the width, length and depth of your mattress with a tape measure. Then compare those numbers with the fitted sheet figures in the chart for the set you want.

• Width and length tell you which bed size row to read.
• Depth tells you whether the fitted sheet pocket will reach under the edges.
• Write the three numbers down before you shop, so you are comparing like with like.

Use the exact measurements bed sheet sizes are listed with on the product page, not a figure from memory or another brand.

Match the pocket depth to your bed

Pocket depth is the figure to check most carefully. A pocket that is too shallow pulls off the corners, while a pocket with room to spare tucks neatly underneath.

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set has a 16" deep pocket on its queen fitted sheet. Check the pocket depth for your size in the chart before you order.

If you prefer a lightweight, silkier sateen, the Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set is made in twin through cal king. Its queen fitted sheet has a 16" deep pocket.

Check the flat sheet and pillowcase fit

Once the fitted sheet is right, look at the flat sheet. A flat sheet cut wider than the bed gives you more to tuck and more drape at the sides.

Then check your pillows against the pillowcase row:

• A queen pillowcase in the Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set measures (21" W x 32" L).
• A king pillowcase in the Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set measures (21" W x 40" L).
• A king pillowcase in the Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set measures (21" W x 36" L).

Choose the Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set if you like a balanced everyday weight with a gentle sheen. Choose the Signature Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Set if you prefer a lightweight, smoother and silkier feel.

Final verdict: choosing your bed sheet size

The right sheet size starts with the fitted sheet and ends with the feel you like on the bed. Read the chart for the exact set you are buying, because flat sheets, pillowcases and pocket depths can differ from one set to the next.

Start with the fitted sheet

Match your bed to the fitted sheet width and length first, then confirm the pocket depth for that set and size. After that, the flat sheet and pillowcases fall into place.

• Twin and twin XL: compare the fitted sheet lengths
• Full and queen: check the pocket depth for your set
• King and cal king: check width against length, because the shapes differ, then browse our king size bed sheets

Pick the set that suits how you like sheets to feel

The Everyday Ease 400 Sateen Cotton Sheet Set is made in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, cal king and split king. It has a soft, smooth feel with a gentle sheen and a balanced everyday weight.
