The Skylark+Owl Guide to Standard Bed Sheet Sizes

Picking out a new set of sheets for your bed is essential to a great night’s sleep, whether you prefer a crisper set or a softer one. From sateen to percale and king to queen, it can be tricky to find the right set of bed sheets—but once you do, your sleep situation is instantly elevated to the next level.

At Skylark+Owl, we’re all about comfort for every corner of your home, especially when it comes to the place you sleep. We know that picking the right sheets can be hard, and we know that there can also be confusion when it comes to picking the correct size on top of the correct feel. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know when it comes to standard bed sheet sizes, from our offerings and our sizes to choosing the right set and learning the difference in materials.

What are standard bed sheet sizes?

Our Skylark+Owl bed sheet sizes are constructed with care to fit your bed comfortably, and each set of our bed sheets is made with a 15-inch deep pocket to ensure that they slide on to most mattresses easily. 

Skylark+Owl bed sheet sizes

At Skylark + Owl, we sell our percale and sateen in a variety of sizes to fit each bed in every home. You can purchase twin, full/double, queen and king bed sheets from us, and you can trust that they’re high-quality, soft and durable. With a 15” pocket that fits most beds and a standard sizing system, we can almost guarantee that our sheet sizes are for you.

Each Skylark+Owl bed sheet set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases. Our bed sheet sizes are standard and will fit most twin, full/double, queen and king beds.

So… what about percale vs. sateen vs. flannel vs. linen?

At Skylark+Owl, we offer four types of sheets (percale, sateen, flannel and linen) in different bed sheet sizes for ultimate comfort and coziness. All Skylark+Owl sheets are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning that they’re manufactured without excess chemicals and that they’re free of harmful ingredients.

Whether you choose percale or sateen or flannel or linen, you’ll be cozy in your nest.

Percale sheets have a matte finish and a cool, crisp feel that’s both soft and lightweight. Our Essential Collection Percale Sheet Set is perfect for hot sleepers or for summer nights.  

Sateen sheets have a shiny finish and a silky-soft feel that’s heavier and tightly woven for all-year-round use and comfort. Our Refined Collection Sateen Sheet Set is perfect for those looking for a luxurious sheet that’s not too cool and not too warm.

Organic flannel sheets are particularly soft and warm, making them perfect for cold winter nights or cold sleepers. Our Organic Flannel is perfect for those sleepers who need a bed sheet with an extra dose of cozy warmth.

How do I choose the right size bed sheets?

Skylark+Owl’s standard bed sheet sizes fit almost all beds, from twin size and double/full size to queen size and king size. Choose your bed sheets based on your bed, and if they don’t fit properly we’ll refund you within 30 nights of sleep. 

How do I care for my Skylark+Owl sheets?

The way we see it, you bought sheets to fit a certain bed. You can trust that your Skylark+Owl sheets will continue to fit the bed you sleep on—no shrinking allowed!—as long as they’re taken care of correctly. To care for your sheets, machine wash them with cool water using a mild detergent, taking care to wash them alone or with like items. Tumble dry on low heat. That’s it!

Since Skylark+Owl bed sheets are not artificially softened using toxic chemicals like some other brands, they will continue to get softer as you wash them and sleep on them. They only get better and better with time!
