What is patented and unique about Fitted Flat Sheets?

1. Our patent covers attaching your fitted sheet down to your fitted sheet in any manor (ie. zipper, velcro, snaps, magnets, anything). But after testing on many different samples and prototypes, zippers were by far the best!
2. The integrated spandex material around the zipper areas allows you to have freedom under the sheets without feeling trapped! Nothing like those hotels beds that feel like they are anchored under the bed trapping your feet in. We have strategically placed the spandex to allow for maximum stretch without covering where your body may be touching. 

Why Bamboo?

1. Soft and Silky Feel – Bamboo sheets have a luxurious softness, often compared to high-thread-count cotton or silk.
2. Breathable & Cooling – Bamboo fibers naturally regulate temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
3. Moisture-Wicking – They effectively absorb and evaporate moisture, making them ideal for hot sleepers or humid climates.
4. Hypoallergenic & Skin-Friendly – Bamboo is naturally resistant to dust mites and allergens, making it a great option for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
5. Antibacterial & Odor-Resistant – Bamboo has antimicrobial properties, helping reduce odor buildup.
6. Eco-Friendly – Bamboo is a highly sustainable resource, growing rapidly without the need for pesticides or excessive water.
7. Durable & Long-Lasting – High-quality bamboo sheets are strong and resistant to wear and tear, often lasting longer than cotton sheets.
8. Wrinkle-Resistant – While not completely wrinkle-free, bamboo sheets tend to resist deep creases better than traditional cotton.

Why is there only 1 size and 1 color option?

1. We are bootstrapping this new product and company from the ground up. So minimum order quantities and overall costs have limited us to just a single order SKU to start out. 
2. Looking for a different size? - We plan to have additional sizes available by June/July 2025.
3. Looking for a different color? - Shoot us a message of what color options you would like to see. We will add some color options as we continue to grow. Email us your request: customerservice@thefittedflatsheets.com

Why is it important to wash my sheets before the first use?

1. Relaxation of Fibers – Bamboo fibers naturally expand and loosen after washing, making the sheets feel softer and more flexible.
2. Natural Softening Process – Unlike some fabrics that break down with washing, bamboo actually gets softer over time due to the structure of its fibers, which become even more supple with repeated laundering.
3. Enhanced Absorbency – The first wash improves the moisture-wicking ability of the sheets, which can contribute to a smoother, silkier feel.
4. Removal of Residual Manufacturing Coatings – During production, bamboo sheets may have residual starches, or finishes that can make the fabric feel slightly stiff. Washing removes these, allowing the natural softness of the fibers to come through.

To maintain this softness, it’s best to wash bamboo sheets in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners (which can leave residues that reduce breathability and softness). Air drying or tumble drying on low heat also helps preserve their luxurious feel.

How do I wash my Fitted Flat Sheets?

1. Unzip the sheets – Disconnect to the sheets to do your washer a favor and balance the load. This will also help the life of the spandex material so it is not being pulled on while going through the wash.
2. Cold Water - Please set your wash to cool and on delicate. You can also set your washer to whites as needed. 
3. Bleach? - Bleach can be used as needed. We add 1 scoop of Molly's Suds Oxygen Whitener every time we wash our sheets. It does a great job of maintaining that fresh out-of-the box white!
4. Tumble Dry Low - Too high of heat can cause those creases that are next-to- impossible to get out of your sheets and can also damage the bamboo fibers. It is best to have a little patience and let them dry at a nice low heat in the dryer.

I can recycle my bed sheets...? Really?

1. YES! Mostly... The bamboo portion of our sheets is 100% organic bamboo. Which means they are biodegradable and compostable in industrial composting facilities. Just cut away the stretch areas and then you may compost the rest of the sheets.
