Flat Sheets

A flat sheet is a versatile layer of bedding placed between you and your duvet or blanket. It adds softness and comfort, helps keep your duvet cover cleaner, and can also be used on its own as a lightweight covering during warmer nights.

You can shop flat sheets online at Oxford Homeware in a range of colours and bed sizes. Our collection includes everyday options designed to make it easy to coordinate your sheets with the rest of your bedding.

Place the flat sheet evenly over the mattress with enough fabric hanging over each side. Tuck the bottom edge securely under the mattress, then fold and tuck the corners neatly for a crisp hotel-style finish.

To help a flat sheet stay in place, centre it evenly on the mattress and tuck the bottom and sides firmly underneath. Using hospital corners can create a neater, more secure fit and reduce movement during the night.

A fitted sheet has elasticated corners that wrap securely around the mattress, while a flat sheet is a rectangular piece of fabric without elastic. Flat sheets can be used as an extra layer over a fitted sheet or directly over the mattress, depending on your preference.

Oxford Homeware flat sheets are available in a selection of popular UK bed sizes, making it easier to find an option suitable for your mattress. Check the individual product details for exact dimensions before ordering.

Yes. Flat sheets are particularly useful during warmer weather because they can provide a light, breathable covering without the extra warmth of a thick duvet.

Always follow the care instructions on the product label. Regular washing helps keep your flat sheets fresh and comfortable, and using the recommended wash temperature can help maintain the fabric's appearance and feel.
