Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet made of?
The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet is 100% linen, woven using a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft for a balanced, even structure. Every sheet is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes at MATTEO's Los Angeles dye house. That washing process opens and softens each fiber, producing a lived-in feel from the first night.
Will this linen fitted sheet work for hot sleepers or humid climates?
Linen is one of the most breathable natural fibers available. It is naturally moisture-absorbent and thermoregulating, keeping you cool when temperatures rise and retaining warmth when they drop. Garment-washed linen bedding like the Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet is a strong choice for warm climates, humid summers, or anyone who consistently sleeps hot.
Is linen bedding good for sensitive skin?
Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, which makes it well-suited for sensitive skin. MATTEO's Vintage Linen is dyed using non-toxic, non-chlorine dyes, so no harsh chemical residue remains in the fabric. The garment-washing process further softens the fibers before the sheet reaches you.
What mattress depths will this fitted sheet fit?
The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet has 16-inch pockets and fits mattresses up to 20 inches deep comfortably. The elastic band spans the entire perimeter of the sheet and is encased in a high-density stitch to hold its shape through years of washing. Corner pockets are finished with a flat felled seam tacked at the top corner for added durability at the highest-wear point.
What sizes is the Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet available in?
The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet is available in Twin (39 x 75 x 16 in), Twin XL (39 x 80 x 16 in), Full (54 x 75 x 16 in), Queen (60 x 80 x 16 in), King (78 x 80 x 16 in), and California King (72 x 84 x 16 in). All dimensions include the 16-inch pocket depth. If you are replacing a single sheet to complete an existing set, the color palette spans over a dozen options including White, Off White, Greige, Oat, Bay, Iris, Coal, and Fig.
How do I wash and care for a linen fitted sheet?
Wash the Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and a cool rinse, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or any product containing chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these will damage the reactive garment dye. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to minimize wrinkling, or line dry for best results. If you prefer a crisper look, press while slightly damp on the linen or high iron setting. Learn more about MATTEO's garment-dyeing process.
Does linen get softer over time?
Yes. Linen's fiber structure means it softens with each wash and use cycle rather than wearing down. The Vintage Linen is already garment-washed before it ships, so the initial break-in period is shorter than with untreated linen. Over years of regular washing, the fabric continues to develop a softer, more relaxed hand without losing structural integrity.
Is the Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet a good choice for a luxury bedding gift?
The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet pairs directly with MATTEO's Vintage Linen flat sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and shams to build a complete luxury linen bedding set. Linen bedding is a long-lasting gift because the fabric improves with age rather than deteriorating, making it a practical choice for wedding registries or housewarming gifts. MATTEO designs and manufactures all Vintage Linen products in Los Angeles.
