This bedding item refers to a specific size and construction of a bed sheet. The designation “queen” indicates that it is designed to fit a queen-sized mattress, typically measuring 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. A key feature is its fitted construction, meaning it incorporates elastic edges to secure it to the mattress. The “600 thread count” describes the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven into one square inch of the fabric. Higher thread counts often indicate a softer, more luxurious feel.
This type of sheet is often associated with comfort and durability. The fitted design ensures a snug fit, preventing the sheet from slipping off the mattress during sleep. Historically, higher thread counts were perceived as a sign of superior quality and softness, contributing to a more comfortable sleep experience. The increased thread count can also contribute to a more durable product that withstands regular washing and use.
