Hello AT,
I recently bought a very comfortable, very plush Kingsdown mattress but I am having difficulty finding bedding that fits it properly.
Fitted bedsheets that fit mattresses up to 20 inches barely cover the mattress, so I believe I would need bedding that fits up to 22 inches. Bed Bath & Beyond only has one set of sheets that deep, and they seem expensive for their low thread count.
I was wondering if you could recommend any stores or websites that sell simple, good quality, reasonably priced bedding that fits such an extra thick mattress. Thanks for your help. John
We went to The Company Store to see what they had and they have oversized sheets that fit up to 20" mattresses. This is their biggest. So we googled "22" fitted sheets" and got this:
- Soprano 400 thread count and 22" fitted sheets
- Soprano 400 thread count and 22" fitted sheets
- Foglia Gold and Mango 600 thread count bed linens
- 250-Count Fitted Sheets by Carlton Textiles
Most of these are "luxury" sheets (that's what you get for buying such a big mattress!) but the last are affordable. (Thanks, John!) MGR
With thick, high quality mattresses you can also use extra extra wide flat sheets which you simply tuck in at the borders. The weight of the mattress will keep them in place.
This is how I solved the problem when I bought my very large heavy mattress.
I have Ralph Lauren and Dwell sheets but they only go over one pillowtop and the mattress, leaving the bottom pillowtop uncovered. Kind of the best I can do.
I think we, culturally, are becoming oddly obsessed with mattress depth.
I think because there's such a disconnect between the size of new mattresses and the sheets commonly available. Shouldn't there be a conference between them to come to some sort of understanding? Or, perhaps more simply, sheet manufacturers could wander into their neighborhood Sleepy's and see what the hell their customers are buying. *Fume*
Ok, so I'm a little obsessed.
As soon as we rectify the hot dog packaging-to-hot dog bun packaging discrepancy, we'll get right on that.
And the bills that don't fit in their reply envelopes.
I checked on shopzilla and Lands End sheets claim to go up to 22" deep.
BB&B doesn't have the right sheets? Not so!
Our super fantastic plain white 440 TC sheets with 24-inch depth are from BB&B, at $100 (also in ivory) -- I think they are called something like "hotel" or similarly generic. Use the nifty 20% off coupon you get every week in the mail and these sheets are a bargain. Note- the sheets do shrink a little after the first washing, but fit our 22 inch mattress just dandy.
As a proud owner of a KINGSDOWN MATTRESS I have the answer to the question. At JC Penny's, "SEALY BEST FIT" sheet sets are the best fit I have found and they are less than $80 for the set. The fitted sheet has an elastic panel at the head and the foot allowing for a secure fit. You can also find additional options at http://www.uwalkthemall.com.
HAPPY SHOPPING!

I just purchased the Best Fit sheet set I told you about at Penny's for $49.99 tax. They were on sale for $59.99 and I had received a $10.00 coupon in the mail. Awesome!!!!
