Bed sheets are TOO deep now -- 18'-20' !!
Comments (24)Part of the problem is that people assume that their mattress is the standard, advertised size. Like an standard King is supposed to be 76x80 but MANY manufacturers cut their mattresses short, believe it or not. Tempurpedic is notorious for cutting their mattresses short (Saves them money? Who knows.) The point is - the pocket depth being wrong is not the only problem you will have with getting a tight fit and avoiding swimming in bunched-up sheets on your bed. We have a Tempurpedic King mattress that is actually 74.5 inches wide by 79 inches long and 11.5 inches high. The thing to do is to order from custom sheet companies. These sheets are not that much more expensive than many premade sheets and often are higher quality. We ordered fitted sheets to match our existing sheet sets (similar colors) and the prices were quite reasonable. Good companies we found include CozyTown (https://cozytownlinens.com/ Call or read instructions on how to order custom sheets - they want you to choose the general size in the dropdown list then in the comments section tell them the actual mattress measurements). They use only long staple cotton. Their Italian and 300 thread count sheets are really nice and ship fast, while their 500 TC takes a bit longer to order. CustomMattressFactory.com is another company with 600 TC organic cotton that is even less expensive than the former company. But there are a lot of companies doing this sort of customization. We gave up searching for premade sheets to fit the beds and have finally gotten sheets that fit....See Morehelp me find SOFT extra deep pocket sheets?
Comments (7)"Without a doubt, the softest sheets I have... are from Macy's. It's their brand Charter Club 500 thread count damask stripe..." Barbarany, I agree! DH also likes soft, non-crisp sheets. When we got our new pillow-top king-size bed this summer, off he went to a Macy's sale (first time he'd shopped for linens alone, lol), and returned with these and we love them. Susan, I am a mass of aches and pains and being on the road can be a trial of uncomfortable beds. If we're in a place for more than one night, we look for Embassy Suites, which has upgraded its beds over the last 4-5 years, or Homewood Suites, a Western franchise that is an incredible bargain, considering what you get. Also, I always ask for lots of extra pillows so that I can make myself a soft-ish cave that helps mitigate the creaky joints and muscles. But really - try the Macy's Charter Club brand!...See MoreBest sheets for a bed with an adjustable base?
Comments (6)I'm surprised to see this topic again! Thanks for all the suggestions. I bought several of the Wamsutta Pimacott sheets, even a couple of extra fitted sheets to use with top sheets/pillowcases from sets I had previously. I do not understand the newer mattresses being so deep! Even with a bed that is not adjustable, many mattresses now sit on an upholstered base. Another thing we started noticing is the mattress wants to slip a bit on the base. I seemed to be forever pushing one corner over a bit. I ordered a mattress thing that is like a rug pad. It lays between the mattress and the base. And Terri, I also got some of those straps too as even though the wamsutta sheets fit good, sometimes after we've had the head up and then lower, the sheet wants to slip. The strap holders do work. Thank you all and I hope these tidbits help any others looking at mattresses/beds....See MoreBunk bed sheets
Comments (3)There’s actually a website! Let me remember the name, it was in Wisconsin I think. I ordered from there when my oldest went to college, I also ordered a top sheet and flannel blanket that were fitted at the foot, so that the sheets didn’t hang all wonky on the bed. That drove me crazy when we toured colleges and saw the dorm rooms. Edit: bedderbedding.net Very primitive website but the sheets lasted for both kids in college....See MoreElsa P. Obuchowski
