Twin Sofa Bed Sheets – How To Set Up Your Twin Sofa Bed

Twin sofa beds aren't as common as full or queen size sofa beds, so many people aren't equipped to set up this kind of bed. A twin sofa bed often folds out of a loveseat or oversized chair. A standard twin size bed measures 39" x 75" but your twin sofa bed may have slightly different measurements. Twin sofa bed sheets measure 36" x 72" are a better fit. If the bed is slightly longer than the average twin, twin XL sheets measure 39" x 80". The first step to properly outfitting your sofa bed is measuring it so you can get the proper twin sofa bed sheets.

 

If your bed doesn't match any of the measurements provided above, you may need to look for custom sheets. Bed Linens Etc., is an online bedding store that will custom make any sheets to meet your specific measurements. With this retailer, you can get the twin sofa bed sheets that you need without the hassle of stretching or altering existing sheets. It's important that the fitted sheet match the measurements of the mattress. A fitted sheet that's too small won't fit on the bed, while one that's too large won't stay in place.

 

To make your bed more comfortable, consider adding a mattress topper beneath the twin sofa bed sheets. If you don't have a topper, you can fold an extra comforter to fit the top of the sofa bed. A sleeping bag beneath the sheets can offer extra comfort as well. Many twin sofa bed mattresses are thin and flimsy, so any extra help that you can offer for the bed will be welcome. Extra padding at the top of the bed can often help as well. If there's a gap between the back of the chair and the top of the sofa bed, consider tucking a cushion or extra pillow in here.

 

Once you've made the base of the bed as comfortable as possible, you can begin adding bedding. If your twin sofa bed sheets came in a set, the top sheet is the first thing you'll lay down over the fitted sheet. If you purchased a custom fitted sheet alone, and standard twin flat sheet should work. Add a blanket or comforter on top of this. An extra throw at the end of the bed will allow your guests to choose between a lighter throw and a heavier comforter. In a cold basement, your visitors may use both. BedLinensEtc.com has everything you need to make a comfortable sofa bed.

Queen Sofa Bed Sheet – The Right Call to Make

Buying a separate set of bed sheets for your sofa bed may not sound like it makes a lot of sense, but when you consider how different that sofa bed is from a standard bed you'll see why it deserves its own set of sheets.  If you have a sofa bed and frequently use it for guests, the kids, or even for yourself, having the best sheets for it is important.  A queen sized sofa bed, for example, needs a queen sofa bed sheet set, not a standard sheet set designed for your regular bed.  The difference is size.

 While a queen sofa bed is roughly the same length and width as a standard queen mattress, the thickness is where the big difference is.  A standard mattress will be anywhere from one to two feet thick, while a sofa bed is usually between four and six inches thick.  That difference in thickness means that slipping a standard queen sheet onto the sofa bed will end in a loose fit, bunching of the sheet, and usually in more than one corner coming free and creating a headache for your guest.  A queen sofa bed sheet set is a better option.

 A queen sofa bed sheet features dimensions of six inches thick and 60x74 inches in overall size.  This lets the sheet fit the entire queen size bed but at the same time is shallow enough to slip over the corners of the bed and get a good, snug fit that will last.  The option of deep pocket and extra deep pockets helps to make them a perfect fit for any bed.  And since you can find these sheets in any material you would normally be able to buy standard sheets in, you'll get to create the perfect sleeping experience for your guests.

 If comfort is the main goal, cotton sheets are available in three hundred up to one thousand thread counts.  The higher the thread count, the silkier the sheet will feel.  But there are also bamboo sheets designed for warm climates and flannel sheets made for those cold nights.  No matter where you live or what you're in need of, there's a queen sofa bed sheet that is right for you.  You just have to take the time to find it.  Don't try to put a standard sheet on the sofa bed and hope for the best.  It's a mistake your guests won't appreciate.

Full Sofa Bed Sheet – The Best for Your Guests


Full Sofa Bed Sheet – The Best for Your Guests

When you have guests over and lack enough bedrooms, the sofa bed saves the day every time.  And sofa beds have come a long way from the uncomfortable, hard, lumpy things they once were.  But while sofa beds have evolved, many people actually haven't let their sheet selection evolve along with them.  In other words, they're still trying to put a standard sheet on a mattress that is anything but standard.  If you have a full sized sofa bed, using a full sofa bed sheet is the best way to ensure that your guests are able to get the comfort they deserve when they're staying with you.

The big difference lies in the size and design.  Take one look at the thickness of a mattress on a bed and compare it to the one on a sofa bed and you'll see the problem.  A standard mattress can be as thick as two feet or more, while a sofa bed mattress rarely exceeds six inches.  That means that trying to put a standard sheet on the sofa bed results in the sheets slipping off the corners, bunching up, and creating a restless, annoying sleep for your guests.  But a full sofa bed sheet won't do this.

Full sofa bed sheet sets measure at the standard size of 54x72 but with a big difference. They're generally only six inches deep.  And since they're available in deep pockets or extra deep pocket designs, they'll actually fit your bed perfectly.  They're designed to fit without slipping off the mattress and give your guests the perfect rest.  Cotton sheets will usually come in 300, 400, 500, and even luxurious 1,000 thread counts so that you get exactly the feel you want for your sheets.  But there are other fabric options as well including flannel for cold nights and bamboo sheets for those hot summer nights.

And just like standard bed sheets you'll be able to find a full sofa bed sheet that fits your style perfectly since they're available in all colors.  In short, it's a purchase that you don't want to ignore.  Your guests will be glad that you took the time to buy a quality sheet set, and you won't have to feel embarrassed when your guests wake up wrapped like a mummy in a sheet that has come loose from the bed.  Get the sheet that is designed for your sofa bed, and your guests will thank you. And don't forget to get a full sofa bed mattress pad to compliment your new sheets.

Full Sofa Bed Sheet – An Important Option


Full Sofa Bed Sheet – An Important Option

Too many people make the mistake of assuming that their standard sheets will work just as well for a full sofa bed.  But a sofa bed is different, and the thickness of the mattress alone is enough to make the sheets slip off the corners, bunch up, fall off, and more.  More than one guest has woken up on a sofa bed to find themselves wrapped up like a giant burrito in a sheet that has fallen off the mattress overnight. Buying a full sofa bed sheet set is the best way to avoid this embarrassing and frustrating issue.

A full sofa bed sheet will come in deep pocket or extra deep pocket designs so that it gets the right fit.  But the real secret is the depth.  At 54x72 inches in size and only 6 inches thick, your bed sheet will actually fit your sofa bed the right way.  Standard sheets are designed for mattresses that are often one to two feet in thickness, which is why when you try them on a sofa bed you encounter the slipping and the poor fit that causes so much trouble.  It may seem like a small matter, but it's actually a major issue and one worth confronting.

Obviously the size and the fit are the important factors here, but the truth is that style matters as well.  Colors for a full sofa bed sheet run the full spectrum just like a standard sheet set would.  This lets you pick out the right color and style for your room and style.  And all of the sheet sets available are designed to by hypoallergenic and to provide a great rest even if someone has allergies or other breathing or skin related issues.  In other words, you get everything you would from a regular sheet, designed for a sofa bed.

The material used in a full sofa bed sheet set can be chosen as well.  For those in cold areas a flannel sheet will help the nights stay warmer.  Those in hot areas will want to consider a bamboo sheet set.  And of course, the old standby is cotton.  There are plenty of cotton sheets available and you can select the thread count you want, ranging from three hundred up to one thousand thread count.  The higher the thread count, the silkier and smoother the sheet.  There's no reason to ignore the need for a sofa bed sheet.  You've got options.  And do not forget to get a full sofa bed mattress pad to compliment your new sofa bed 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.

Sleep Well,
