A flat sheet is the largest piece of top fabric that doesn’t require a precise fit like a fitted sheet, and floats over you as you sleep. Twin flat sheets fits both Twin and Twin Extra-long beds. Queen flat sheets fit both Full and Queen bed. King flat sheets fit both King and Cal-King beds.
Bed Sheet: A bed sheet is the foundation of your bedding ensemble. This is the fabric layer that lies directly on your mattress, coming in close contact with your skin. You'll find two primary types of bed sheets: the fitted sheet, which snugly covers the mattress with its elastic edges, and the flat sheet, which rests atop the fitted sheet.
