Imagine your favorite stretchy t-shirt as a sheet and you’ll be picturing jersey sheets perfectly. This type of cotton comes soft and ready to be used.

Luxury flat sheets will have a European return—a deep turn-back cuff or hem that runs along the top of a flat sheet and continues down the side for a little over a foot or so, with a mitered hem at each corner. This decorative hem treatment allows you to fold back the flat sheet over the blanket, coverlet, or quilt, giving a well-dressed luxury bed its signature finesse and stylish elegance.
