Extra Long Full Sheets – Big Sheets for Big Beds

Tall people over six feet know the frustration of dangling their feet over the edge of a shorter bed. Now the bedding industry is offering extra long and even extra extra long mattresses that measure between 80” all the way up to 94” compared to the standard 75” in length. Sheets to match the extra long size are usually not too difficult to obtain. Beyond an 80” length can be a little more challenging to find. Specialty lines stores. like BedLinens Etc., carry sheet lengths of all kinds and can even custom order the size that is needed. Extra long full sheets can make for a good night’s sleep.

With an extra long mattress sometimes a full width complements the length. Twin beds are a mere 39” wide. The full mattress is 54”. An extra long full mattress is ideal for not only the tall, but the broad shouldered. Extra long full sheets are made as a regular product and do not require special ordering. They may even be available at local stores. Ordering extra long sheets in any width from a specialty store ensures that the sheets are high quality and fit properly. The only thing more annoying than having feet dangle over the edge of the bed is fitted sheets that keep popping off because they are too short.

Sheets also tend to slide off when they do not have pockets that are deep enough. Sheet purchases have to take into consideration length, width and depth. Many mattresses today are quite deep and don’t always fit standard sheets sold in stores. With pillow tops and extra padding, many mattresses are very deep. Sheets don’t stay on unless they are able to contain all that depth. Deep pocket and extra deep pocket sheets take care of this problem. Deep pockets are available in combination with extra long full sheets.

Every mattress needs a mattress pad. The mattress is an investment that should last many years if cared for properly. Sheets and mattress pads can extend the life of the mattress. Well fitting sheets and mattress pads ensure that the mattress is protected from dust, sunlight, and any other potential damage. The mattress pad offers a bit more cushioning to the mattress as well. Mattress pads are available to fit under extra long full sheets or any other sizes that may be needed. Agood fitting mattress pad is just as important as good fitting sheets.

Sleep Well,
