Queen vs King 16-Inch Deep Pocket Sheets: Which Size Fits Your Mattress?
Queen and King sheet sets can look nearly identical in product photos, but the fitted-sheet width, flat-sheet dimensions, and pillowcase size are different. This guide compares two VEVOR 4-piece brushed microfiber sets, both designed for mattresses up to 16 inches deep.
Quick answer
Choose the Queen set for a 60 × 80 in mattress and the King set for a 78 × 80 in mattress. Both fitted sheets are designed for mattresses up to 16 in deep and use a 360° elastic edge. The set size is determined by mattress width and length, not by pocket depth alone.
Queen vs King dimensions

|---|---|---|

| Pillowcases | 20 × 30 in | 20 × 40 in |
| Max mattress depth | 16 in | 16 in |
| Material | 100% brushed microfiber | 100% brushed microfiber |

What “16-inch deep pocket” actually means
The 16-inch specification refers to the maximum mattress depth the fitted sheet is designed to accommodate. It does not change the basic Queen or King mattress footprint. A Queen fitted sheet is still sized around 60 × 80 inches, while a King fitted sheet is sized around 78 × 80 inches.
If your mattress is much shallower than 16 inches, the elastic edge still helps hold the sheet in place, but correct mattress length and width remain the first fit check.
How to choose correctly
- Measure your mattress width.
- Measure mattress length.
- Measure mattress depth from the bottom edge to the top surface.
- Choose Queen for a 60 × 80 in mattress or King for a 78 × 80 in mattress.
- Confirm the total mattress depth is no more than 16 inches.
What is included in each set?
Both are 4-piece sets with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. The King set includes larger pillowcases and a larger flat sheet to match the wider mattress.
Care and material
Both sets use 100% brushed microfiber. The current product listings state that they are machine washable and can be tumble dried on low. Do not bleach. Pillow inserts are not included.

What is the main difference between the Queen and King sets?
