where are the seams on fitted sheets?
single fitted sheet
Single beds are 39 inches (99cm) across so we have to add a small panel along each side of the sheet. This falls entirely below the level of the top of the mattress with the seam running along the bed. This is mirrored on the other side of the bed.
double fitted sheet
Double beds are 54 inches (137cm) across so we have to add a small panel along each side of the sheet. These fall along the side of the mattress with the seams right along the edge of the bed. This is mirrored on the other side.
queen fitted sheet
Queen beds are 60 inches (152cm) across, we have to add a panel along the right and left side of the mattress. The seams run along the top, very close to to each edge. There’s also a dart in each corner for a drop corner style allowing the sheet to fit a range of depths and easing the tension to help it last longer.
king fitted sheet
King beds are about 80 inches (203cm) across. We usually use a slightly wider muslin for king sheets that allows us to move the seams to the edges, similarly to our queen and double sheets. We still add a panel along each side with the seams running along the right and left edge of the bed.
