Vintage Linen Flat Sheet

The Vintage Linen Flat Sheet is 100% linen, woven from flax plant fibers using a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and weft. This balanced weave produces a fabric that is simultaneously soft and sturdy. Each sheet is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes at MATTEO's dyehouse in Los Angeles, a process that opens and penetrates the fibers to soften them from the first night.

Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, making it a strong choice for sensitive skin. The fiber is also moisture-absorbent and temperature-regulating: it draws heat away when you're warm and retains warmth when the temperature drops. For anyone who sleeps hot or lives in a humid climate, a 100% linen flat sheet breathes more freely than cotton and wicks moisture more efficiently.

The Vintage Linen Flat Sheet is available in Twin (79 x 106 in / 201 x 269 cm), Queen (100 x 111 in / 254 x 282 cm), and King (118 x 111 in / 300 x 282 cm). MATTEO recommends using a King flat sheet for a Cal King bed and a Queen flat sheet for a Full bed, as the generous dimensions accommodate the dimensional differences without requiring a separate size.

Raw linen can feel stiff, but the Vintage Linen Flat Sheet goes through a proprietary garment-washing process at MATTEO's dyehouse that softens each fiber before the sheet ever reaches you. Linen also continues to grow softer with every wash and use over time, so the fabric improves with age rather than breaking down the way many cotton weaves do. Most customers notice a noticeably relaxed, lived-in hand feel from the first night.

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

Darker colorways, such as Coal, Fig, Night, and Bark, include a contrasting white topstitch detail at the hem that lighter shades do not have. All colors, both light and dark, share the same 1/4" minimal hem finish. Because MATTEO's Vintage Linen is garment-dyed using a process that is an art rather than a science, a shade variation of approximately plus or minus 10% between dye lots is normal and expected.

MATTEO's Vintage Linen has been the brand's most-requested fabric for over a decade, and its distinction lies in two specific construction choices: a 28 single-metric yarn woven in an extremely balanced warp-and-weft structure, and a proprietary dyehouse washing process that softens individual fibers rather than simply treating the surface. The result is a high quality linen sheet that is noticeably softer than untreated linen from the first use, while retaining the durability and breathability that make linen a generational material. Designed and manufactured by MATTEO in Los Angeles.

A 100% linen flat sheet is a considered, long-lasting gift that improves with use, making it well-suited to a wedding registry or a home-warmings present. MATTEO's Vintage Linen is available in fifteen colors, from neutral shades like White, Off White, and Greige to deeper tones like Night and Coal, so it integrates into a wide range of bedroom aesthetics.
