Description

Our fitted sheets feature a strong elastic band that spans the entire sheet. The elastic band is encased in the bottom seam with a high density stitch to ensure that it retains strength through a lifetime of washing and use.

The 16" pockets on our fitted sheets are finished with a flat felled seam that is tacked down at the top corner. This protects the weaker edges of the fabric and reinforces the corners that receive the highest amount of wear. Our fitted sheets will fit mattresses up to 20" deep comfortably.

Fabric

When thread count became all the rage, we were disappointed with some of the gimmicks that were being used to declare absurdly high thread counts. Especially in percale fabrics. Thread count is simply a measurement of how many threads are in one square inch of fabric. A percale is a plain weave (or 1-over-1 structure) it is very challenging to weave a percale in very high thread counts; you can only pack so many threads into one square inch!

We love percale, so we decided to make the highest thread count percale possible using a very thin 100 singles cotton yarn. This is why we called it Tru(e). It is indeed a true 400 thread count percale with a light soft crispness that makes for a wonderful sleep.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

Learn more about Garment-Dyeing.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.

Frequently asked questions

What is the thread count and weave of the Tru Fitted Sheet?
The Tru Fitted Sheet is 100% cotton, woven in a percale (1-over-1 plain weave) at a true 400 thread count. Percale is notoriously difficult to weave at high thread counts because the structure limits how many threads fit in one square inch. MATTEO achieved 400 by using a very thin 100 singles cotton yarn, making this one of the highest thread count percale sheets available. The result is a light, crisp hand feel with genuine breathability.

Will the Tru Fitted Sheet stay on a deep mattress?
The Tru Fitted Sheet has 16-inch pockets and fits mattresses up to 20 inches deep. The elastic band runs the full perimeter of the sheet, not just the corners, and is encased in the bottom seam with a high-density stitch for long-term hold. Flat felled seams at the pocket edges reinforce the corners where wear is highest.

Is the Tru Fitted Sheet good for hot sleepers?
Percale cotton is one of the more breathable weave structures available in cotton bedding. The 1-over-1 plain weave creates a lighter, airier fabric than sateen, and the 400 thread count in the Tru Fitted Sheet maintains that breathability without sacrificing the soft, crisp feel that percale is known for. It is a solid choice for warm sleepers or humid climates.

How are the Tru Fitted Sheets dyed, and are the dyes safe?
Tru Fitted Sheets are garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic, reactive dyes. Reactive dyes bond directly with the cotton fiber, producing color that holds well through repeated washing. Because the dyeing process is sensitive to whitening agents, avoid chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide on any garment-dyed colorway. White cotton versions can be bleached. Learn more about MATTEO's garment-dyeing process.

How should I wash and care for the Tru Fitted Sheet?
Wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, separating lights from darks. Do not overload the machine, as this can stress the long cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to limit wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. If you prefer a crisp finish, press while slightly damp on the Lightweight Cotton or Medium iron setting.

What sizes does the Tru Fitted Sheet come in, and what are the exact dimensions?
The Tru Fitted Sheet is available in Twin (39 x 75 x 16 in), Twin XL, Full (54 x 75 x 16 in), Queen (60 x 80 x 16 in), Cal King (72 x 84 x 16 in), and King (78 x 80 x 16 in). All sizes have a 16-inch pocket depth. California King dimensions are distinct from standard King, so confirm your mattress size before ordering.

How does the Tru Fitted Sheet compare to other high thread count cotton sheets?
Many sheets marketed at 800 or 1000 thread count use multi-ply yarns, which allows manufacturers to count each strand of a twisted yarn separately. A true percale at 400 thread count, woven with single-ply 100 singles cotton yarn as in the Tru, is technically more demanding to produce. MATTEO named this fabric Tru precisely because the 400 count is genuine, not inflated by multi-ply counting. For a detailed look at what thread count actually measures, see the fabric story on the product page.

Is the Tru Fitted Sheet suitable for people with sensitive skin?
The Tru Fitted Sheet is 100% cotton with no synthetic fibers, and it is dyed with non-toxic reactive dyes. The garment-washing process pre-softens the fabric so it arrives with a broken-in feel rather than the stiff finish common in unwashed percale. Cotton percale is breathable and does not trap heat, which can help reduce overnight skin irritation for those who sleep warm.
