Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions about King Sheets

  • Fitted vs Flat: A fitted sheet for a King bed must match the mattress dimensions exactly. A flat sheet is always significantly larger to allow for tucking.
  • Pocket Depth: Standard fitted sheets fit mattresses up to 30cm (12") deep. If you have a pillow-top King mattress, look for "Deep Pocket" sheets.
  • International Differences: A "King" in US may not be the same size in other countries. Always check the cm/inch measurements before buying imported bedding.
