How to Buy Sheets to Fit a Pillow-Top Mattress Published April 29, 2010 | Updated June 11, 2015 Everyone knows that pillow-top mattresses are designed for additional softness and comfort. Due to the padding, pillow-top mattresses have more depth than regular mattresses. The height of the padding varies, but generally, manufacturers make pillow-top mattresses in depths varying from 7 to 22 inches. Specially made deep-pocket sheets for pillow-top mattresses are available; however, it is important to know the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Here's how to buy the best sheets to fit your pillow-top mattress. Shop Deep-Pocket Sheets ▸ Take MeasurementsPlace a piece of cardboard between the mattress and the box spring. Place a second piece of cardboard on top of the mattress. Measure the distance between the pieces of cardboard. This is the depth of your pillow-top mattress. Search for the SheetsSearch for sheets in the size of your pillow-top mattress.
Sheet sizes are available in twin, twin-XL, full, queen, California king, and king. It's important to get the sheets that are meant for your exact mattress; twin-XL mattresses are longer than twin mattresses, and California king mattresses are longer than king mattresses. Choose a Type of Fabric and Thread CountThe higher the thread count, the smoother the sheets will be, but that can come with a higher price tag. Bed sheets are available in a variety of fabrics, from cotton to satin. A current trend is microfiber sheets, which have the feel of high-thread-count sheets but at a lower price point. Shop for Deep-Pocket SheetsDeep-pocket sheets are meant for pillow-top mattresses and are available in three depths: 7 inches to 14 inches (standard), 15 inches (deep), and 16 inches to 22 inches (extra deep). Find Fitted SheetsFitted sheets have elastic on the sides that hold the sheets in place. They're available with elastic on all four sides, elastic on the four corners, or elastic on two sides.
Sheets with elastic on all four sides fit pillow-top mattresses better. Consider Other OptionsIf you are unable to find fitted sheets with the appropriate depth, consider using straps with sheets for regular mattresses. Straps on each of the four corners will keep the sheets in place. You can also use flat sheets that are one size larger than your pillow-top mattress and tuck the sides under the mattress. My first percale purchase Most refreshing sleep I've had in years You need to buy this mattressExceptionalSheets Bamboo Extra Plush Cooling King Mattress Pad with Fitted Skirt "Super, Super Great" - By I searched for several hours each day for about 4 days trying to decide which would be the best mattress pad. I did not look at the positive comments, but the negative ones, trying to find all that was wrong with each one I looked at. There was only one review at the time on this one, but after reading the review and studying the description, I decided on this one.
I received my mattress pad yesterday and it was not crammed in a small box. There was no odor, the material felt real soft and sort of silky but what surprised me the most was the sides that cover the mattress. The material was so stretchable and tight. It was big enough to cover any queen size mattress, yet fit so good. You can not tell this from looking at the picture. kate spade new york Showing 1 - 20 Anthology™ Mina Box Pleat Throw Pillow in Blush Bedding > Bedding > Comforter Sets Throw Pillows > Throw Pillows Waterford® Linens Marcello Pleated Damask Oblong Throw Pillow in Gold Bedding Accessories > Throw Pillows Decorative Accessories > Throw Pillows Therapedic Invista® Memorelle® Fiber King Back/Stomach Sleeper Pillow in White Bedding > Bedding Basics > Bed Pillows Bed Pillows > Bed Pillows Bedding Basics > All Bedding Basics Colonial Williamsburg Eve Striped Oblong Throw Pillow DKNY City Pleat Knit Oblong Throw Pillow in Graphite
