Full XL Sheet Set – Finding Sheets for an Unusual Mattress Size

Full XL Sheet Set – Finding Sheets for an Unusual Mattress Size

Shopping for sheets for an unusually sized bed can be almost as frustrating as trying to tug and pull a fitted sheet that is too small to fit a larger or longer bed.  Extra long full beds need a full XL sheet set.  These types of sheets offer the extra length necessary in both the fitted and flat sheets.  If you are tall, you may need a longer bed, but not have the floor space for a queen or king bed.  The extra long full bed measures 54” x 80”, as opposed to a standard full sized bed’s 54” width and 75” length.  Five inches is an awful lot to ask of your standard full sheets.  They tend to pop right off if you manage to get them on at all.  

full XL sheet set slides on easily and snugly, with deep pocket and extra deep pocket options.  Deep pocket extra long sheets fit mattresses that are anywhere from six inches in depth to sixteen inches.  Extra deep pockets are for mattresses between sixteen and twenty-two inches in depth.  These might be pillow top mattresses or those that have a layer of memory foam on top of them.  Be sure to measure your mattress before you shop for the right sheets.  

Once you have your measurements, online bed linen stores can offer the most variety in these unusual sizes, like a full XL sheet set.  They can offer them made out of 50% cotton, 100% cotton, flannel, bamboo, silk, satin, or more.  Silk is considered one of the most luxurious fabrics for sheets, being extremely smooth, soft, and cool to the touch.  If you want luxury but live in a cold climate, you might look for Portuguese double brushed flannel.   100% Egyptian cotton comes in several different thread counts.  This refers to the number of threads in each square inch.  The higher the thread count, the better the sheets will feel.  Bamboo fibers are also silky smooth but come from a renewable resource and are antibacterial and hypoallergenic.

If you have a hard or uncomfortable mattress, you will be amazed at the difference a mattress pad can make under the right sheets.  Mattress pads also help protect your investment, even if your mattress is comfortable.  Bed Linens Etc., also has mattress pads in unusual sizes.  A full XL sheet set paired with a full xl cotton mattress pad can make your bed the relaxing and cozy place you’ve been longing for.

Sleep Well,
