Mayfair Linen 600 TC Cotton Queen Fitted Sheet - Deep 16in Pocket

In this review the Mayfair Linen 600 thread count queen fitted sheet stands out for sleepers who want a durable, cool cotton sheet that actually stays put. The biggest reason to buy is the deep 16in pocket with elastic on all sides and head/foot tags, which makes it simple to fit thick mattresses and prevents the sheet from popping off during the night. This review is written from hands-on impressions of fabric feel, construction and fit rather than marketing claims.

Key Features

• 16in deep pocket: The extra deep pocket easily accommodates thick mattresses and keeps the fitted sheet secured under the mattress for a snug fit.
• All-side elastic and labels: Elastic around the perimeter and head/foot tags make the sheet simple to install and keep it from sliding up.
• 600 thread count sateen: The sateen weave and long staple cotton fibers create a soft, smooth surface that feels hotel-quality without being overly slippery.
• Mercerized finish: An added mercerization step improves dye uptake and makes the fabric smoother, more resistant to pilling and less prone to fading.
• OEKO-TEX certified cotton: Sourced cotton is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, reassuring those with sensitive skin or who prefer low-chemical textiles.
• Easy care: The sheet tolerates regular machine washing and loosens up to a softer hand after a few washes while remaining colorfast.

Who It's For

The Mayfair Linen queen fitted sheet is ideal for shoppers who want a true cotton fitted sheet with a deep pocket that fits high-profile mattresses and stays in place. It suits hot sleepers who prefer breathable natural fibers and anyone who values long-staple cotton and a sateen finish for a plush hotel-like feel.

It may be less appropriate for buyers who prefer a percale crispness over sateen sheen, or for those seeking a complete bedding set rather than a single fitted sheet, since this listing is for one fitted sheet only.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Firm, reliable fit on thick mattresses thanks to the 16in deep pocket and full-perimeter elastic.
• Soft, smooth hand from the sateen weave and long-staple cotton fibers.
• Durable construction with mercerization that reduces pilling and helps color retention.
• OEKO-TEX certification offers reassurance for sensitive skin and eco-minded buyers.

Cons

• Some buyers describe the fabric weight as substantial while others expected a lighter feel for 600 TC, so hand feel may be subjective.
• This listing is only the fitted sheet, so pillowcases or top sheets must be purchased separately if a set is desired.

Specifications

Our Verdict

Its long-staple cotton, mercerized sateen and OEKO-TEX certification deliver durable, breathable sleep comfort and good long-term value, though shoppers should note this is a single fitted sheet rather than a set.
