Shopping for fitted sheets
Traditionally, fitted sheets are used to cover the mattress, with the elastic band ensuring that they stay in place. This is done to protect the mattress while also providing a smooth and soft surface for you to rest on. A fitted sheet includes stretchy elastic bands sewn into the seams of the sheet material in each of its four corners, allowing the sheet to be tailored to the individual's body. During sleep, this will prevent the bed sheet from shifting or falling off the bed.
When purchasing fitted sheets, it's critical to have the correct mattress dimensions on hand before making your purchase. For example, your queen mattress is longer and wider than a double mattress, with the following dimensions recommended for all your linen:
- Queen flat: 90 inches x 102-106 inches
- Queen fitted: 60 inches x 80 inches
- Pillowcase: 20 inches x 30 inches
You also need to take note of the mattress depth, particular for your fitted sheets to ensure they fit property.
When it comes to selecting sheets, the following depths are standard but be aware that you may need to purchase the next size to accommodate a deeper mattress in some cases (so you might want to buy a king size fitted sheet for a deep queen mattress).
- Standard: 7-9 inches
- Deep: up to 15 inches
- Extra Deep: 16-22 inches
When shopping online, stock up
It’s a great idea to stock up on your fitted sheets, making sure you have plenty of variety. A general rule of thumb for what you need in each bedroom includes having at least two or three sheet sets in the right size, including a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
