Deep Pocket Bed Sheets - What Are They and How They Work


Deep Pocket Bed Sheets - What Are They and How They Work
A lovely luxury in life is having quality deep pocket bed sheets. But, what are they and do I need some? It mostly depends on the mattress and if it requires them. If your mattress does need them, you will want to find the most high quality sheets for it. There might be a certain color you’re after. Or, you are shopping for the highest quality thread count for your money. Some of the best places to shop are mattress and bed stores. Below are some shopping tips to use when looking for deep pocket sheets
Most deep pocket sheets usually fit mattresses that are sixteen inches deep. The extra deep pocket bed sheetsare made to fit a mattress that is about 22 inches in depth. It’s important to know what the height of your mattress is before you shop. Otherwise, you will pay for a nice set of deep sheets only to find they do not fit your mattress. Sometimes if the mattress is very deep, it may be hard to find the perfect set of deep pocket sheets to fit. It’s best to buy the highest thread count that your budget will allow. This is a rule for any type of sheets you buy; however, it’s especially important deep pocket sheets.
It’s important to know that purchasing sheets with a high thread count will actually make shopping for deep pocket bed sheets easier. You will be able to find a better variety of patterns, materials and colors that you want. Another important detail to look for is the elasticity of the fitted sheet. Purchasing a set of deep pocket sheets with poor elasticity means nothing but trouble. They will easily swim around with you as your turn in your sleep. Also, they slide off much easier and tend to bunch up beneath the covers. I should know, I have made this mistake once before. Find a set of deep pocket sheets with flexible but firm elastic.
Deep pocket bed sheets come in many types of fabrics. Light cotton is the best material for deep pocket sheets. They work perfectly for the warmer months of the season. Other available materials are Egyptian cotton, sateen cotton and flannel. It’s typically harder to find flannel sheets, but they are best for those cooler months. It’s best to have two types of deep pocket sheets to change throughout the year as the seasons change.
