I use flat sheets now for a bottom sheet. It is SO much more comfortable because you can pull the sheet VERY tight and tuck it in. The key is to make sure the sheets you buy are big enough. I bought mine from American Hospitality Supply, the only 100% cotton sheets they have. But you have to buy a case of 12. Still, they're HUGE, very comfortable, and only $20/sheet, which is a deal. Hotels use flat sheets for bottom sheets, which is probably why you can find sheets large enough in your bed size to tuck in on all four sides from hotel supply places.

I would take a flat sheet you have now, measure it, put it on the bed, and see the minimum more width and length you'd need to be able to tuck it in on all four sides, then go looking for flat sheets @ that size.

$250 - free shipping, so order something else you need as well. I bought a case of All Free & Clear laundry detergent, and it is not the same as the weak stuff they sell in the stores. This stuff smells putrid, but works much better. But it doesn't make the clothes smell at all.

These are the sheets I ordered. But definitely take measurements.

If your mattress is supported by slats and not a mattress foundation, the slats will not keep the sheet tucked in. Smooth wood has no gripping power. Our ten inch latex mattress is fitted with a used 10" fitted sheet from Ikea. Fits super tight! My wife is currently making several, using the elasticized fitted sheep as the prototype.

But, don't those elasticized fitted sheep keep jumping and running away from your wife? (Sorry, I couldn't resist...)

I have used flat sheets for 10years, I have never had them come loose. I have a few RL sheets but I make sure to get really large sheets. I use sheets from Sferra sheets and Yves Delorme. I have King size sheets and a King size bed. The sheets are a minimum of 110" x 106". These are also used as top sheets. The RL sheets are quite generous.

Good luck!

Brushworks, we do have a latex mattress, but it's paired with a box spring, which sits on slats, so I think we'd be okay tucking the sheets. I'll check out the organic sheet sites, thank you for the links. homepro, I think I'd need a king flat to use for the bottom just to be sure. I like the top sheet tucked in tight also, and the queen sizes I have are always too short to stay put, maybe they have shrunk up over the years, as this mattress is only 10 inches deep.

Massagerocks,

One other thing, I have a mattress cover on my mattress. It is a jersey cotton and this may also help to keep the sheets stable. There is very little movement with my sheets.

Good luck!

massage, be careful, re: a king-size sheet. You could end up with a LOT of extra sheeting on the sides but not enough lengthwise. You're safer, IMO, actually taking measurements and figuring out what size sheet you need. I'd say, if the depth of your mattress is 10 inches, I'd add at least 5 inches on all four sides for tucking in, so 15 inches plus the width and length of the surface of the mattress.

The queen sheets from AHS would fit your bed perfectly. My mattress is deeper than 10 inches (I think it's 14 inches, but not entirely sure ,and Im' not home so I can't measure), and I can JUST get them tucked in nice and tightly. But these sheets will definitely fit a 10-inch mattress. They're HUGE.

You actually need the width or length of the mattress plus about 30 inches to have 10 inches and 5 to tuck on each side. Just adding 15 won't be sure to cover the two sides much less tuck under. Gotta double it. Agree -- you want HUGE.
