Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet

The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet is 100% linen, woven from flax-plant fibers using a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft. The balanced weave produces a fabric that is soft and sturdy, and MATTEO's dye house applies a special garment-washing process that opens and penetrates each fiber, accelerating the softening that linen develops naturally over time. All dyeing uses non-toxic dyes, and darker colorways carry a contrasting white topstitch.

Yes. Linen is naturally moisture-absorbent and temperature-regulating: it pulls heat and humidity away from the body when you are warm, and retains warmth when temperatures drop. MATTEO's garment-washing process opens the fiber structure further, so the fabric breathes with particular efficiency. Sleepers in humid climates consistently find garment-washed linen bedding more comfortable through the night than cotton or synthetic alternatives.

The fitted sheet has 16-inch pockets and will fit mattresses up to 20 inches deep comfortably. The elastic band spans the full perimeter of the sheet and is encased in the bottom seam with a high-density stitch, so the fit holds securely through repeated washing. Available sizes run from Twin (39 x 75 x 16 inches) through King (78 x 80 x 16 inches) and California King (72 x 84 x 16 inches).

Wash in a lukewarm cycle with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or products containing chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these whitening agents will damage the reactive garment dyes. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling, or line dry for best results. If you prefer a crisper look, press the sheet while slightly damp on the Linen or High iron setting.

Linen grows noticeably softer with each wash and use cycle; this is an inherent property of flax-derived fibers and one reason high quality vintage linen bedding is considered heirloom-quality. MATTEO's dye-house washing process accelerates that softening at the point of manufacture by opening and penetrating the fiber depths before the sheet reaches you. The result is a lived-in hand feel from the first night, without sacrificing the fabric's structural durability.

Yes. Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, making it a practical choice for people with skin sensitivities or allergies. MATTEO dyes all Vintage Linen using non-toxic dyes, with no chlorine bleach or harsh finishing chemicals in the process. The garment-washing technique produces a smooth, pre-softened surface that reduces friction against the skin from the first use.

The elastic band runs the full perimeter of the sheet rather than only the corners, and it is encased in the bottom seam using a high-density stitch built to hold through a lifetime of washing. The 16-inch pockets are finished with a flat-felled seam tacked down at each top corner, which reinforces the areas that receive the most wear and protects the fabric edges from fraying over time.

The Vintage Linen Fitted Sheet is a considered gift for anyone building a high-quality bed. Linen's durability and tendency to improve with age make it a practical long-term investment, and the Vintage Linen collection is available in fifteen colorways, including White, Off White, Greige, and Oat, which coordinate easily with most bedding. MATTEO designs and manufactures all Vintage Linen products in Los Angeles, and the line has been the brand's most requested fabric for over a decade.
