Mayfair Linen 100% Egyptian Cotton Queen Fitted Sheet - 16ft Deep

Our review of the Mayfair Linen 100% Egyptian Cotton queen fitted sheet finds it best for sleepers who want a single, reliable bottom sheet that stays put on thick mattresses. The standout reason to buy is the 16' deep pocket with elastic on all sides, which prevents the sheet from popping off and makes bedmaking quick and consistent. Built from long staple Egyptian cotton with a sateen weave and an extra mercerization step, this fitted sheet aims to deliver a soft, cooling feel and improved durability compared with standard sheets.

Key Features

• 16' deep pocket: Designed to fit mattresses up to 16' deep so the sheet stays secure without constant tucking.
• All-side elastic: Elastic around the full perimeter holds the fitted sheet firmly in place during sleep and makes the bed look neat.
• 100% Egyptian cotton, sateen weave: The long staple cotton and sateen weave combine for a soft, smooth surface that feels cooling to the touch.
• Mercerized finish: An extra mercerization step increases sheen and resistance to pilling and fading over repeated washes.
• OEKO-TEX certified: Sourced and tested to be free from harmful substances, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
• Easy care: Machine washable and designed to resist shrinkage and color loss when laundered on gentle and tumble-dried low.

Who It's For

This fitted sheet is ideal for homeowners with thick mattresses or mattress toppers who want a bottom sheet that will not slide up during the night, and for shoppers who prefer natural fibers because the 100% Egyptian cotton construction is breathable and cooler than synthetic alternatives. It also suits those who prioritize fabric safety, given the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certification.

Shoppers seeking a full bedding set (top sheet, pillowcases and duvet cover) should look elsewhere if they need matching pieces, since this listing covers the queen fitted sheet only. If you prefer very crisp percale or a noticeably lightweight summer sheet, the sateen weave and denser fabric may feel heavier than that option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Deep 16' pockets and full elastic that keep the sheet securely in place on thicker mattresses.
• Soft, smooth sateen hand from extra long staple Egyptian cotton and mercerization for improved durability.
• OEKO-TEX certification and natural cotton make it a good choice for sensitive skin and breathability.
• Holds color well in washes and becomes softer after several cycles.

Cons

• The fabric weight and sateen finish may feel heavier or more substantial than shoppers expect from a typical 600 thread count claim.
• This product is the fitted sheet only, so matching top sheets or pillowcases must be purchased separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a pillow-top or thick mattress?
Yes. The 16' deep pocket is designed to accommodate thicker mattresses and pillow-tops so the sheet tucks under securely.

Is this the full bedding set?
No. This listing is for the queen fitted sheet only; matching top sheets and pillowcases are sold separately.

How should I care for the sheet to keep color and softness?
Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low; the fabric softens further after a few washes and resists fading and pilling.
