New sheets?

[Irulan]

I need super deep pockets, too. Is there a brand you've found that works well? I've really struggled to find them myself. I have some Stearns & Foster sheets that fit, but luxurious they are not.

How much money ya got?
I looked all over the web, had a cardiac looking at prices. and did find what I wanted by cruising the Macy's sales for flannels. I will have to look and see what brand they are. The flannels I did get fit a little better than barely, but it's still not a super great fit. But at least the corners don't pop off. Standard deep pocket sheets barely fit our mattress, and super deep pocket sheets can be spendy.

For regular percale, the sheets they sell at Costco have been great. I wish they made a flannel in the same line.

The sheets we have now cost $160 at Bed Bath & Beyond (and it makes me a little sick to my stomach to type that). If memory serves, we used a coupon. I just want one other set, and I don't honestly care whether they're flannel. I just get sick of having to wash the same set of sheets week after week.

LL Bean's flannels have 15" deep pockets. Is your mattress thicker than that?

Yep. Last I measured, I think ours measure 19". There are multiple reasons I hate our mattress, but sheet buying is near the top of the list.

Yes, standard deep pocket sheets ( 13"-15" or so) barely fit.I haven't tried Beans, but I've tried a lot of others.

Now, other than the flannel sheet issue, I absolutely love our bed but I wish I had been warned about the sheets.

Wow, 19"?!! Almost sounds like you need custom sheets!

I'm going to keep your experience in mind, the next time I go mattress shopping! Probably not an issue for us, DH hates those pillow-top style mattresses.

So long as the Stearns & Fosters fit our pillow top, I won't go with custom. I shudder to think how much they would cost. My pre-marriage queen sized mattress is a Eurotop. It also needs deep pockets, but more in the 15" range. I haven't had too many problems finding sheets for it.

Wow I never knew that flannel sheets could incite such strong emotions!! We tell the turning of the seasons by which sheets we put on the bed, and whether DH has a beard or not.

We have a couple of sets of Hotel Collection sheets from Macy's. I don't know exactly which version they are though. They were a gift from my mom at Christmas last year and they are wonderful. They are super crisp, but soft and they are holding up beautifully. Super deep pockets, too. They were actually too deep for our old mattress, but they are perfect for our new one (which is so thick, we opted for a thinner box-spring...so it's big!). I can look at the label tonight to see which ones we have, if you want.

It looks like all the Hotel Collection are on sale right now at Macy's.

I despise flannel sheets, so I can't help there.

I LOVE nice sheets. And my current favorites are "affordable" - thick, cottony and well made - from Target! they are the "Fieldcrest Luxury" sheets. My mattress is about 19 inches deep or a bit more, and they do fit. And the flat sheet is made wide enough for the deep mattress too. I highly recommend them - I have spent much more for sheets, and nothing has come close to these! They have a very soft feel on my skin, and are not thin or crispy feeling. Love,love, love them! Tokie
