Olympic Queen Fitted Sheet – What to Look for in Quality Sheets
Sheets have many factors that can make them either the bottom of the barrel as far as sheets go, or the top pick in the world of sheets. These include thread count, pocket depth, and fit. Some of this depends how well the actual sheet is made, but part of it is also choosing sheets with the right qualities. For example, sheets are no longer only standard sizes. This is because beds are no longer standard sizes. There are wider and longer versions of the queen size bed, for example. A standard queen sized bed is 60 inches by 80 inches. There are other versions, however, that are not as large as a king size, but they are larger than the standard king. These may include customized sheets. An Olympic queen sized bed is going to require an Olympic queen fitted sheet.
The Olympic queen bed is 66 by 80 inches, making it a whole six inches wider than the standard, but the same length. A standard queen sheet might be able to be made to go on the bed, but the pocket will not tuck under well no matter how deep they are. This will cause them to come off the bed in the middle of the night, making for a miserable night of sleep. An Olympic queen fitted sheet is the best bet as it will cover the bed and the edges will tuck under and stay there. The same is true of an Olympic Queen mattress pad. They are very disruptive to sleep when they do not fit properly.
If the bed is a special size, look for sheets specifically made to fit that size bed. This may require ordering specialized sheets. Often dorm rooms have non-standard bed, and the college may contract with a company to take orders for. However, there are numerous places to find them other than those companies. The Olympic queen fitted sheet mentioned above may not be easy to find in the casual market, it is typically available.
Thread count and pocket depth are also important to finding quality sheets. If the mattress is thicker than standard, I may be necessary to purchase deep pocket sheets. Typically, deep pocket depth fits up to sixteen inches thick, while extra deep pockets fit from sixteen inches to twenty-two inches. As far as thread count, typically the higher the count, the higher quality the sheets are. So, it could be possible that the best quality sheet for the situation is a deep pocket Olympic queen fitted sheet with a high thread count.
Sleep Well,
