Flat sheets, the layer that saves you washing

Not everyone uses flat sheets on their beds - they tend to be dismissed and thrown in the too-hard basket. But the twist? Having a flat sheet actually makes life so much easier, because it means washing your quilt cover less. How? When you have a flat sheet, it sits between you and your doona cover, meaning there’s less skin contact with the doona cover, and therefore, less of a need to clean it on the regular.

Plus, in summer, often all you need is a flat sheet, so you might as well make it cute. Prefer a summer doona? Keep it folded at the end of your bed and you’re ready to roll.

Our flat sheets are generously sized and are roomy enough to tuck in - a queen measures 260cm x 255cm and a king is 250cm x 275cm, but you can find all of our size measurements in our bed linen size guide. The 25cm top hem folds back neatly over your doona (fancy) and shows you subtly and simply which end is at the top, to make bed making that little bit easier. 

Just like the rest of the Bonny range, our flat sheets are 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton percale, so they are highly breathable with a matte, cool feel on your skin. Dreamy.

When it comes to colour, you can choose to match your flat sheet with your fitted sheet, or go bananas and pick a contrasting colour - you know you’re an adult when choosing bed linen gives you a thrill. Of course, all of our flat sheets come with a sheet belt, keeping it bundled with the rest of your set in your linen cupboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all
Do I need a flat sheet?

They aren’t compulsory, but we think they’re great. Flat sheets protect your quilt cover from sweat and body oils (happens to us all) which means less washing and admin for you. They also make a great light layer on their own in the summertime.

What size flat sheet should I buy?

You should aim to match your flat sheet with the size of your bed - queen bed? Queen sheet. Simple. Bonny sheets are purposefully oversized which make for easy tucking, so don’t worry about sizing up (we’ve got you).

Which way does a flat sheet go?

A flat sheet should always go ‘good side’ down, with the wide 25cm hem sitting at the pillow end. That way, when you fold the top back over your doona, the good side is facing up, and visitors will be impressed (which is what matters).

Can I use a flat sheet instead of a doona in summer?

You can absolutely use a flat sheet in place of a summer doona when the sweaty season rolls around. Percale is highly breathable, so a flat sheet is an excellent choice on those hot, humid nights we get to enjoy in Aus. Of course, if you like a little more warmth, summer doonas are a nice swap.

How do I stop my flat sheet from coming untucked?

The age-old question: how do you stop your flat sheet from coming untucked? Start by tucking the bottom and sides firmly under the mattress. Then, for neat hospital corners, lift the hanging fabric at the side, tuck the bottom section underneath, lower the side fabric and tuck it in snugly. Easy. And because our sheets are sized a little more generously, you'll have plenty of fabric to work with - so you can fold those corners like you do it for a living.
