Sheets

[Katherine]

Will a pilowtop mattress affect the size sheets for the bed?  If this is the case, what brand stores sell these types of sheets?

thanks

Hi Katherine,

Since mattresses are all "one-sided" now, this is not as big of an issue as it used to be.  Also, since pillowtops are much more common, sheet-makers are making sheets deeper to accomodate them.

If your mattress is over 12" high and it's important to you that your fitted sheet go all the way to the bottom of your mattress and beyond, you should seek out what are called "deep-pocket" sheets.  Bed Bath and Beyond is a common place that has them, and better mattress stores.  The label on the sheet set should say how thick of a mattress it can accomodate.

Happy Sleeping!
