Queen Sheet Set

An extra-comfortable queen sheet set makes a real difference.

A queen sheet set is usually 60” X 80” for the fitted sheet and 90” X 102” for the flat sheet. And then most sets will also come with two pillowcases, and they usually measure 20” X 30”. That is the standard measurements for a queen sheet set.

Although these days with a lot of mattress companies selling puffier mattresses you can now also find a wonderful selection of queen sheet sets with slightly larger fitted and flat measurements.

This may seem like common sense, but it's important to note that a queen sheet set is designed to fit queen sized mattresses. I have no idea where the names for mattresses came from.

And believe it or not, I actually searched. I guess it would make sense if the biggest mattress was a king, the next largest a queen, and then the one under that a prince, but it's actually a full.

So not really sure who came up with these names or how long they've been around for. But that's really not that important when discussing choosing and buying a queen sheet set.

Luckily for you, if you have a queen sized bed, you are in the majority of American people. And since most people have a queen sized bed, that means more companies design and make more queen sheet sets.

People usually have a harder time finding a large selection of sheets if they have a waterbed or a California king sized bed.

Of course they're out there, but the selection offered is noticeably much smaller than those shopping for a queen sheet set.

I mean don't you hate when you're shopping and you see a shirt or a pair of shoes that you just love and have to have, only to learn that they don't come in your size? I do.

The same goes for shopping for sheets. I hate browsing the aisles at my favorite linen store or department store when I spot the most gorgeous set of sheets I've ever see, that would go perfectly in my bedroom, only to learn by closer inspection that they only come in twin or full sizes.

Well that usually doesn't happen if you are looking for a queen sheet set. And that's just another good thing about having a queen size bed. Comfort, room, and selection!
