Which Emperor flat sheet fits your bed?
Choose your flat sheet by the width of your mattress. The length is the same for every Emperor bed.
| Your bed | Mattress size (width x length) | Flat sheet |
|---|
| Emperor | 200 x 200cm (6ft 6 x 6ft 6) | 290 x 267cm (114 x 105in) |
| Long Emperor / Short 7ft | 200 x 215cm (6ft 6 x 7ft) | 290 x 267cm (114 x 105in) |
| Large Emperor | 215 x 215cm (7ft x 7ft) | 305 x 267cm (120 x 105in) |
On a 200cm wide mattress, a 290cm wide sheet leaves 45cm on each side to cover the mattress edge and tuck in. A super king flat sheet will cover the top of an Emperor mattress but won't leave enough to tuck in properly.
Deep mattress? We make the sheet wider
A deeper mattress uses up more of the sheet's width before any fabric reaches the tuck. So when you choose a deeper mattress option on the product page, we make the sheet wider to keep the same tuck down each side.
The length stays at 267cm whatever the depth. A top sheet folds back over the duvet at the head of the bed and tucks in at the foot, so it doesn't need extra length.
Measure the full depth of your mattress, including any topper the sheet will go over, and choose the nearest option.
Top sheet or bottom sheet?
Our Emperor flat sheets are made as top sheets. They go between you and your duvet, with the deeper hem at the head of the bed so it folds back neatly over the duvet. A top sheet keeps your duvet cover fresher for longer, gives a lighter layer on warm nights and creates the crisp, layered look of a hotel bed.
For the sheet you lie on, we recommend an Emperor fitted sheet. It's made to your mattress size and depth, so it stays put all night. If you prefer a traditional flat bottom sheet, call us with your mattress size and depth and we can make one long and wide enough to tuck under all four sides.

Frequently asked questions
What size is an Emperor flat sheet?
Our Emperor flat sheet is 290 x 267cm (114 x 105in) for 6ft 6 wide beds, including standard Emperor (200 x 200cm) and Long Emperor / Short 7ft (200 x 215cm). For deeper mattresses we make it wider.
What size flat sheet do I need for a 7ft bed?
For a 7ft wide Large Emperor bed (215 x 215cm), choose our 305 x 267cm (120 x 105in) flat sheet. You can also browse our 7ft bedding collection.
Will a super king flat sheet fit an Emperor bed?
Not well. A super king flat sheet is made for a 180cm wide mattress, so on a 200cm Emperor it covers the top but leaves very little to tuck in, especially on a deep mattress.
Why is there a mattress depth option on a flat sheet?
Because a deep mattress uses up more of the sheet's width before it reaches the tuck. Choose your depth and we make the sheet wider to keep the same tuck. The length doesn't change.
Can I use an Emperor flat sheet as a bottom sheet?
Our flat sheets are made as top sheets, so for the sheet you lie on we recommend an Emperor fitted sheet. If you'd rather have a flat bottom sheet, call us and we can make one big enough to tuck under all four sides.
Can you make a custom-size Emperor flat sheet?
Yes. Send us the mattress width, length and depth and we'll make a sheet to fit. Custom sizes are usually dispatched in around 21 days, longer at busy times.
How do I wash my flat sheet?
We recommend a 40°C warm wash for all our fabrics.
