Satin Bedsheet King

Satin bedsheet for a king bed: a generous, smooth sheet for a 6-foot bed

A king bed covered in satin is a striking sight: a wide, smooth surface with a soft glow that makes the whole bedroom look calm and finished. It is also a practical choice for a busy family bed, because satin's smooth face sheds dust and crumbs easily and the sheet dries faster than a heavy cotton one. Soft Souls satin king bedsheets measure 108 × 108 inches, a full square, and come with two matching pillow covers, in silver grey and navy blue.

What satin means on the label

Satin is a weave in which the face threads float over several cross-threads, leaving long, smooth runs on the surface. That is what makes the fabric glossy and gliding. It does not tell you the fibre, and satin is not silk; we never sell satin as silk.

How the square sheet fits a king mattress

Our king mattresses measure 72 × 78 inches. A 108-inch square gives about 18 inches to tuck down each side and about 15 inches at the head and foot. That is the most generous tuck of any of our satin sizes, which is exactly what a slippery fabric needs on a wide bed. Because the sheet is square, it cannot go on the wrong way round.

Keeping satin in place on a wide bed

On a king bed, two or more people turn and shift through the night, and children may climb in and out. Satin slides more easily than a matte cotton sheet, so:

• Tuck all four sides deep, not just the ends.
• Fold every corner into a neat triangle before tucking; folded corners lock the sheet.
• Re-tuck the side you get out of each morning; it takes ten seconds and keeps the bed smooth all week.
• If your mattress is thick foam with a slippery cover, a thin cotton mattress protector underneath gives the satin more to grip.

Satin on a family bed

Many Indian families share a king bed with young children. Satin washes and dries easily, and its smooth face does not hold onto lint and hair the way brushed fabrics do. Keep a spare set nearby for night-time spills. For babies under twelve months, follow safe-sleep advice: a firm, flat surface with no loose sheets, pillows or soft toys near the baby. A loose satin sheet is slippery, so make sure it is tucked tight on any bed a small child uses.

Pets and satin

Cats' and dogs' claws can catch the floats on a satin face and pull threads. If a pet shares the bed, keep a cotton throw on the pet's spot, or choose a matte king bedsheet for that bed instead.

Washing a satin king sheet

A 108-inch square sheet is a big load even though satin is light.

1. Check that your machine can take it with room to tumble; in a smaller top-loader, wash it on its own.
2. Turn it inside out, use cool water, a gentle cycle and mild liquid detergent.
3. Wash navy on its own for the first few washes.
4. Never wash it with towels, jeans or anything with hooks or zips.
5. Skip bleach and strong stain removers on the shiny face.

Drying and folding

Shake the sheet out firmly as soon as the wash ends; satin creases if it sits wet in the drum. Spread it over two lines or a large stand in the shade, shiny side in. Fold it in half twice on a clean bed, roll it, and tuck the pillow covers inside the roll. Rolled satin comes out of the cupboard almost crease-free.

Colour on a large satin bed

On a king bed, the sheet is the largest area of colour in the room. Silver grey keeps a large room airy and reflects morning light; navy makes the room feel restful and works with almost any wall colour. Satin's sheen means both shades look a little different in daylight, lamplight and LED light, so look at the real product photos on each colour's page.

Satin king bedsheet questions

Is this silk? No. It is a satin weave. See our silk bedsheet guide.

Will it fit two single mattresses pushed together? Two 36-inch single mattresses make a 72-inch bed, so yes.

Will it fit a queen bed? Yes, with even more to tuck. For a neater fit choose a satin bedsheet queen.

How many pillow covers are included? Two.

Why a satin king set makes sense for guests and festivals

When family visits for a wedding or a festival, the king bed often becomes the shared bed for several relatives. A fresh satin set changes the room in minutes and looks festive without extra decoration. Keep one set folded and ready for these visits, and wash it before storing it again so it is fresh the next time.

Ironing a large satin sheet

Ironing a king sheet is a chore, and satin rarely needs it. If you do want a crisp finish, iron only the top half that shows, on a low setting, on the reverse side or through a cotton cloth. Never press a hot iron straight onto the shiny face.

Complete the bed

King beds often carry four pillows; add a set of satin pillow covers so they all match. Satin king bedsheets start from ₹1,299.00, inclusive of all taxes, with cash on delivery and 7-day returns on unused products.
