* FITTED SHEETS:
Please note that mattress depths vary widely by manufacturer. Measure
the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Standard and
older mattresses average 9-12", while newer pillow-top mattresses
are 14-16" deep and up. These deeper mattresses will require
additional depth in fitted sheets.
** FLAT SHEETS: If you own an extra-deep mattress, be aware of flat
sheet sizes as well. Choose the largest sizes available so there
will be an adequate length to tuck in at least 8-12" underneath
the end of the bed. In some cases it may be necessary to purchase
the next size up (a queen flat sheet for a double bed, etc.), in
order to cover the deeper mattress.
+ The dimensions of flat sheets vary somewhat in width and
length by manufacturer. The + denotes that some manufacturers
offer sheets with a few added inches. Look for these to use on the
larger, pillow-top mattresses. |
