Split King Bed Sheets – Keeping Individual Comfort in the Same Bed

Many people don’t realize that a king bed is the same size as two twin XL (extra long) mattresses put together.  However, some savvy consumers have used this knowledge to save money on mattresses and easily fit them through small doorways and openings.  Manufacturers have used this knowledge to create split king beds that are adjustable.  Some are therapeutic beds that are moveable similar to a hospital bed, where the back of the mattress behind the shoulders and head, the feet, or the knees can be elevated for added comfort or health reasons independent of the other half of the bed.  Others adjust hardness or softness levels to the preference of each sleeper.  If you any of these types of beds, your life can be made easier with split king bed sheets.

Split king bed sheets in a set come with two fitted twin XL sheets, one flat king sheet, and two king pillowcases.  This makes changing sheets on the smaller mattresses easier.  It also helps adjustments to either side to affect the partner less.  Many can afford two higher quality twin mattresses than one high quality king mattress.  Some of these have pillow tops or memory foam toppers.  The added depth to the mattress can make normal sheets pop off.  It also makes it a struggle to put them on. Split king sheets can also come in deep pocket or extra deep pocket versions.

Let’s talk dimensions.  Before you purchase split king bed sheets, you should be an informed consumer.  Know the dimensions of your particular bed.  You might have an extra long split California king.  Do you need deep pockets or extra deep for your mattresses?  The twin XL mattresses on a typical split king bed measure 39 inches in width and 80 inches in length.  Deep pocket sheets will fit bed that have a depth between six and sixteen inches, while extra deep pockets sheets are for those beds that fall between sixteen and twenty-two inches deep.
  
You also don’t have to give up luxury just because you have an economical, therapeutic, of comfort adjustable split king bed.  Manufacturers make high quality split king bed sheets out of Egyptian cotton, Pima cotton, cotton/polyester blend, bamboo, and more.  There is even flannel for those colder climates.  Thread count affects the silkiness and smoothness of your sheets, by indicating how many threads are in each square inch of the sheet fabric.  Going below 200 thread count will seriously sacrifice comfort levels.

Full XL Sheet Sets – The Right Fit


When you have a full XL size bed, you'll have a slight issue finding the right sheets for your mattress.  They must be 54x80 inches, a full six inches longer than the standard full size mattress.  That means that not everyone actually has a full XL sheet set for sale.  The internet is the easiest option, and offers a huge number of styles and variety.  There are plenty of things to consider when you're buying a sheet set, and keeping a few of them in mind is important for your satisfaction when it comes to making a purchase of sheets.

The first thing to consider is just what you get when you purchase a full XL sheet set.  In most cases you'll receive a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases.  The next thing to think about is whether or not the set you're looking at will fit your bed.  Yes, the width and length may match up perfectly but the actual thickness of today's mattresses varies.  A deep pocket sheet set will fit mattresses up to sixteen inches thick.  An extra deep pocket sheet set will fit mattresses from sixteen to twenty two inches thick.  It's important to get the right one, or a good fit will be impossible.

Next will be material selection.  The most popular choice is one hundred percent cotton, and this allows you to select from three hundred up to one thousand thread count.  The higher the thread count, the silkier and smoother the full XL sheet set will be.  50/50 cotton and polyester sheets aren't as smooth but offer a lower price for those on a budget.  Bamboo sheets are made to be cool naturally and are perfect for hot summer nights and warm climates, while flannel sheets are perfect for cold weather and will add a little warmth to your bed.

Finally, the color of the full XL sheet set will need to be considered as well.  Matching a room or blanket color scheme is important for most people, and sheet sets are available in a full range of colors to let you find the one that is right for you.  If you'll keep all of these points in mind you should have no trouble finding exactly the sheet set that you need for your bed.  The right fit is a lot closer than you probably realize, and a lot more affordable as well. And don't forget to get a Full XL Mattress Pad to compliment your new sheets.

Queen Sofa Bed Sheet – The Right Fit


There is no question that comfort in your bed begins with the right set of sheets.  Slipping between soft, comfortable sheets is one of the key components of feeling great and getting a good night's sleep.  But when it comes to a sofa bed, most people assume that they can use the same sheets on the sofa bed mattress that they would use on a standard mattress.  Nothing could be further from the truth, and using a queen sofa bed sheet for your queen sized sofa bed is the only way to ensure that your guests sleep in the same level of comfort that they deserve.

The big difference between queen sofa bed sheet sets and standard queen sheets is the depth.  A standard bed mattress could be a foot or more in thickness.  A sofa bed mattress, by comparison, is generally only around four to six inches thick.  Put a regular queen sheet set on that sofa bed, and it will bunch up, hang loosely, and usually come free at the corners and create a huge problem for anyone hoping for a comfortable night of rest.  Your guests won't enjoy themselves, and you'll likely feel more than a little bit embarrassed at the situation.

But queen sofa bed sheet sets are designed to perfectly fit a sofa bed.  Six inches deep and 60 x 74 inches in all around size, they provide a snug fit for any queen sized sofa bed.  And just like standard sheets you'll have plenty of options to select from when you start looking for yours.  Made from your choice of fabric including cotton, flannel, and bamboo, you'll be able to match your style and needs with a sheet set that fits it perfectly.  Whether you need bamboo for warm areas, flannel for cool nights, or cotton for maximum comfort, you'll find it.

Cotton sofa bed sheet sets are available in 200, 300, 400, 500, and 1,000 thread count form so that you get the silkiest or softest sheets you can find.  Simply put, buying queen sofa bed sheets doesn't meant that you have to give up any bit of the luxury, comfort, and style you would expect from a standard set of bed sheets.  And they're available in deep or extra deep pocket designs. Don't give your guests a sleep that they'll remember for all of the wrong reasons.  Take the time to buy sheets designed for a sofa bed.  You and your guests will both be glad that you did.

College Dorm Bedding – The Right one For You


College is one of the most exciting times in a person's life, offering a whole world of possibilities.  But while there's no denying its appeal and its excitement, it's also filled with challenges including many that are usually overlooked until it's too late.  Finding the right college dorm bedding, for instance, is one thing that most people won't even think about until that first night they lay down to sleep.  A clean and comfortable bedding set is important for a good night's sleep, which is why getting the right bedding for your dorm room is important.  Luckily, there are plenty of options available today.
When shopping for college dorm bedding you'll be able to buy full sets or just single items.  Whether you need sheets, comforters, or an entire bed set you'll be able to find it.  And since dorms often feature some relatively interesting sized beds, it's important that you find the perfect fit for yours every time.  That's easy as well thanks to the internet, and you should have no trouble at all finding twin, twin xl, full, full XL, and any other size bedding you need to fit your college bedding. Most dorm beds require twin xl bed sheets. Simply put, you'll have all the options you need for your bed and will be able to get a great rest.

Along with size, be sure that you consider whether or not you need deep or extra deep pockets.  For most college beds, deep pockets will be more than enough since they fit mattresses up to sixteen inches thick.  Only a few college mattresses will exceed that, but if yours does you'll want to go with extra deep pockets for your fitted sheet.  Beyond that, consider the material that has been used in the creation of the bedding.  In most cases this won't vary as much as with other bedding options.

Sheets for most college dorm bedding sets are one hundred percent cotton and usually around three hundred thread count.  This provides a good combination of comfort, durability, and affordability.  College beds can get punished, whether it's spilled drinks, dropped pizza, dirty feet, or something else.  Spending a lot of cash on luxurious one thousand thread count sheets doesn't make a lot of sense.  Of course, you can if you want.  Be sure to select a good, durable comforter as well to stay warm during hose chilly nights, and don't forget to ensure that your bedding includes a pillowcase.  College is a big step forward into the future, so be sure you're comfortable during it.

Full XL Bed Sheets – Finding Yours


Mattresses aren't what they used to be.  Today's mattresses are designed to give you maximum comfort.  From memory foam to adjustable firmness sleepers, there's something for everyone.  But your rest doesn't just depend on what kind of mattress you're resting on.  The sheets you stretch over that fancy mattress matter as well.  A poorly fitting sheet can ruin your sleep, and old, rough sheets are a common source of contention as well.  In other words, if you want the best night's sleep you can find then you need to look beyond just the mattress and make sure you put great full XL bed sheets on your full sized bed.

Full size beds are the next step in size down from a queen bed.  Most full XL mattresses are eighty inches in length and fifty four inches in width.  They add an extra six inches to the length of the bed, which is what the XL stands for.  That means you need to be sure that you purchase full XL bed sheets – that XL really does matter.  But with today's mattress designs, the thickness of your mattress will matter also.  If your mattress is sixteen inches thick or more you need to buy deep pocket bed sheets.  If it's thicker than that, you'll want to purchase extra-deep pocket sheets.

No matter the size sheet or the type of pockets, your style will matter when you purchase full XL bed sheets as well.  Sheets are available in a full range of colors so that it's easy to find exactly the type of sheet set you want.  This lets you coordinate your sheets with your blankets as well as the overall room décor.  This may not seem like a major issue to some, but for most it's important to have color options that actually make sense for a room.

Finally you will want to consider the material used in the full XL bed sheets.  There are plenty of options.  The cheapest will be the cotton and polyester sheets, which is a fifty percent mix of both fabrics.  Bamboo sheets are designed for warm climates and hot nights, while flannel sheets are designed to add extra warmth for cold nights.  And one hundred percent cotton sheets are still the most popular option and are available in thread counts ranging from three hundred up to one thousand.  The higher the count, the silkier and smoother the sheet will be.  Simply put, there's a sheet set for your bed.
