Description

A flat sheet set does one visible thing: it puts a line across the head of the bed when the sheet is turned down. Manhattan makes that line deliberate, with a navy header and two rows of satin stitch, and matches it on the cuff of each pillowcase.

It works under the Manhattan quilt cover as the full set, and equally well under a plain white cover when you want the sheet to be the only detail on the bed.

About the embroidery

The embroidery is worked in colourfast viscose rayon satin stitch.

On flat sheets and cuffed pillowcases the embroidered panel is cut, embroidered and folded before it is sewn to the piece, so the border is placed against a known edge rather than stitched into a finished sheet. On tailored pillowcases the border is worked into the face and framed by the flange stitching.

Iron the embroidery on the reverse at a medium temperature. Avoid optical brighteners and fabric softeners.

The header

The header is the band that shows when the sheet is turned down over the quilt, and on a made bed it is the only part of a flat sheet anyone actually sees. Manhattan puts a deep navy panel there with two parallel lines of satin stitch worked inside it, so what shows is a deliberate horizontal line across the head of the bed rather than an unmarked fold of white.

The pillowcases

Cuffed rather than bordered: the navy band and its satin stitch sit on a cuff at the opening end, so the detail lines up with the header of the sheet rather than framing the whole pillowcase. Behind the cuff is an envelope closure, which holds the pillow without buttons or a zip and leaves the front face uninterrupted.

The header is the only part of a flat sheet anyone sees. It is the part worth spending on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the navy sit when the bed is made?
Across the head of the bed. The navy is on the header of the flat sheet, which is the band that shows once you turn the sheet down over the quilt, and on the cuff of each pillowcase so the two line up. The rest of the sheet is white, and none of the navy sits against you while you sleep.
Do I need a fitted sheet as well?
Yes, if you want a fully made bed. Fitted sheets are sold separately here on purpose, so you can match the depth of your own mattress rather than take whatever depth a set dictates. Our standard fitted sheet suits mattresses to 35cm and the deep sided version goes to 43cm.
What is a cuffed pillowcase?
A cuff is a band built onto the front of the pillowcase at the opening end only, rather than a border framing all four sides. It puts the detail where it lines up with the header of the sheet. Behind the cuff sits an envelope closure, which holds the pillow in without buttons or a zip.
Is the flat sheet cut long enough to tuck properly?
Yes. At 255 x 275 cm for a Queen and 285 x 275 cm for a King, both are cut generously against the mattress they are made for, so there is enough length to turn the header down over the quilt and still tuck the foot properly on a deeper mattress.
