ExceptionalSheets 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. 1Why use deep pocket sheets? Some mattresses come with built-in extra padding in the form of a pillow top, euro top, or tight top. This is great for comfort, but it means that regular sheets often don't quite do the job of properly covering the mattress.
You might also encounter this problem if you've added a separate mattress topper to your bed. This is where deep pocket sheets come in. Deep pocket sheets are deeper than average, especially in the corners, allowing them to stretch over thick mattresses, mattresses with pillow tops, or mattresses with mattress toppers. 2How deep are deep pocket sheets? Compared to regular sheets, which range from 7 to 14 inches deep, deep pocket sheets measure 15 inches deep while sheets designated as extra deep are somewhere between 16 to 22 inches. It's always best to check the measurement before you buy to ensure a proper fit. Pocket depth should be listed in the product details when you shop online. 3Which fitted sheets do I need for my mattress? Measure the thickness of your mattress and keep that measurement in mind as you shop. If your mattress is thicker than the listed pocket measurement for standard sheets, you'll need deep or extra deep pocket sheets. 4What are deep pocket sheets made of?
You can find deep pocket sheets in the same materials as ordinary sheets, including cotton, sateen, Egyptian cotton, and flannel. The depth of the sheet doesn't affect the material or quality. 5What colors are deep pocket sheets available in? Just like regular sheets, deep pocket sheets come in a variety of colors, giving you freedom to match the rest of your bedding and decor. You may not find as many patterns and prints, but you'll still have plenty of options to choose from. 6Are deep pocket sheets available for all bed sizes?From a twin to a California king bed, you'll be able to find deep pocket sheets that fit just right. 7How do you wash deep pocket sheets? How you wash deep pocket sheets depends more on the material of your sheets than the size or depth. Refer to care labels for recommendations on wash and dry cycles. If your sheets are bulky, you may want to use a large washer and dryer meant for bedding-sized items for a more thorough cleaning.Before you purchase items and accessories for your bed, the first thing you need to determine is the type of mattress you have.
From there you can choose everything that will properly fit your bed. Check the reference chart below to help determine your bed type.

Do not be concerned with the top or flat sheet dimension, as it will be tucked under the mattress anyway and is not meant to be sized to the exact specifications of your mattress:
You can use these dimensions as a guide for mattress pads as well. No need to look for Cal-King or Twin X-Long in the top sheet - it’s not made... use the King and Twin sizes accordingly. Pillow Top and Extra Deep mattresses have become very common. Before selecting your sheets and mattress pads, it is important to know the depth of your mattress. Here are some dimensions to use as a guide: 15 inches to as high as 22 inches Once you determine the depth of your mattress you’ll need to select the proper depth mattress pad.

Regardless, these dimensions can serve as a basic guide: Don’t make yourself crazy looking for California King Comforters or Twin X-Long - they don't make them. Just get a King or Twin size accordingly.
In addition, when looking for Full or Queen sizes, some manufacturers make comforters in both Full and Queen sizes, while others will offer a Full/Queen size, which fits both mattresses. Here are the dimensions for most down comforters. Some vendors may run slightly smaller, but these dimensions can serve as a basic guide: All blankets are not created equal!

For those of you enjoying a down comforter, or even just looking for a change for your bedroom, a duvet could be the perfect answer.

Here is a guide to the common sizes: 20 x 26 inches. Uses a Standard size pillowcase. Use one on a Twin bed, two on a Full or Queen, and three on a King bed. 20 x 30 inches.

Since all daybeds are outfitted with a twin mattress, selecting the sheets and mattress pads for them is a no-brainer. Choosing what to put on top of the daybed can be a bit more challenging, as sizes and styles can range. There are daybed covers, which typically have three sides (two sides and the front), and daybed spreads, which typically have four sides, and are usually quilted. The “drop” of a daybed cover, or how far down to the floor the front of the cover reaches, will determine if you need a dust ruffle, also called a bed skirt. A standard twin 14” dust ruffle is all a daybed requires, though some dust ruffles feature split corners to make navigating around bed feet a bit easier.
