Frequently asked questions

View all

A flat sheet lies on top of the mattress and requires tucking in at the sides and base, while a fitted sheet has elasticated corners to hold it in place. Some people use both for a hotel-style layered bed, so the fitted sheet will be on top of the mattress and the flat sheet will be used between you and your duvet. See our Flat sheets vs fitted sheets guide.

Yes, many people prefer using a flat sheet instead of a fitted sheet for ease of folding and classic bed styling. If you want that high end hotel look and feel, then use two flat sheets for your bed, one underneath and one on top. Hotels use a flat sheet as the bottom sheet as it is easier to iron and fold underneath the mattress without any creases. Get our top tips on how to Get that luxury hotel bed feel at home.

Both a sateen or percale weave can be a great choice for a cotton flat sheet. A sateen weave flat sheet will feel smooth and slightly silky, while a percale weave flat sheet has a crisp, matte finish. The choice depends on whether you prefer a hotel-smooth or cool-crisp feel. Read our sateen cotton sheets guide and our percale cotton sheets guide.

For a pristine look, iron your Egyptian cotton flat sheet while slightly damp. For a relaxed aesthetic, skip the ironing, your Scooms Egyptian cotton flat sheet will still feel luxurious. Our guide: How to clean & care for your Egyptian cotton flat sheet.

Yes, you can use a flat sheet as an extra layer between you and your duvet or blanket, keeping your duvet cover cleaner for longer and providing a layer than can be easily washed more frequently if required.
