Sheets for really fat mattresses

[Tokie]

I think my mattress is 18 inches thick - it's ridiculous. Lands End has sheets that almost fit. Unfortunately they are kind of crisp, in a way that some people must love. Just not me. But they stay on! Tokie

This thing is like 15" huge and fat.
And really comfy.

Our last one was 9".

My mattress is one of those 15 inchers, and I finally went out and bought deep(er) pocket sheets at Sam's Club. My son recently upgraded his bed so I took the memory foam topper off of it just yesterday and put it on my bed, and those sheets STILL fit! I have to jump up a little to get on the bed. Best of all, they were only about $40 for the set, and they're very fine cotton. I think they're these.

I've got a big fattie mattress too and I love the deep pocket flannels from Bed Bath, and Beyond. Take a 20% off coupon and get a deal!

We found you have to measure and read the labels carefully when sheet shopping....and yes, the deeper the sheets, the more expensive they seem to be. But at least good sheets last for many years, as opposed to cheaper sheets, that's what I've found anyway.

1+ on the Company Store sheets. If you keep an eye on the website you can frequently find a good sale.

Or buy the next size up in sheets.

I have an old-fashioned double bed, but bought a new thicker matress and box springs, so buying standard queen sheets works for me. My problem is that the elastic has given out on the fitted sheet. Yes, I can sew. I HATE mending. I am loath to replace the yards of elastic in the fitted bottom sheet. So I use the garter thingies to help keep the corners tucked.
