A queen flat sheet is about 92 inches (234cm) across and is made with a centre panel of about 56 inches (142cm) and two side panels of 18 inches (46cm) each. The seams fall along the side very close to the edge of the mattress, mirrored on the other side.

PRO-TIP: When you make the bed, put the flat sheet on “upside down” with finished side facing down and the back side of the sheet facing up with your duvet cover on top. Then you’ll be sleeping between the two finished sides of the sheets.
