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.

Sleep Well,
