Where in the hell do you buy sheets that will fit a 17" mattress?

[Bunny]

I'm still shopping for a new mattress, the one I'm looking at is 17" high! Isn't that kind of ludicrous? The next one I like is 15". My entire current mattress AND box spring don't equal 17"!! :D

:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

1. Expecting some action are we?

[Bunny]

7. Sadly, no.

:cry:

Actually, at this point in my life, I am more interested in a good night's sleep! Have I become pathetic? :shrug:

2. Won't your feet hang over the edge?

Oh 17" HIGH :)

[Bunny]

3. Tee hee!

I'm on the short side, but not THAT short! :D

4. almost all the sheets sold today are deep pocket sheets for high mattress'

5. Look for "deep pocket" sheets.

They're out there. I have a cal-king that's really deep, and was lucky enough to find 400-thread count at Costco!

Yay!!

6. Linens n Things had a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG table runner, which we required

Maybe there?

9. It's the latest thing.

I haven't bought a new mattress in years, but my mom did & she said they're all deep.

Look for 'deep pocket' sheets. And have fun. I don't think you'll find them at Tuesday Morning. Maybe Overstock.com. Or you can pay full retail-gag! :)

14. I'm gonna edit my comments

to add that my mom bought hers years ago & at that time it was really hard to find sheets. I remember her bemoaning it over & over. It's been so long there probably are more being offered.

10. You can get the box spring cut in half (to height of 8")

in most stores.

Or, if you like Tempur-pedic matresses you can get either an 8" or 12" matress with an 8" or 12" box spring.

My hubbie and I just bought a new matress and we, too, were shocked at the overall height!!

11. Tuesday Morning has extra deep sheets in high thread counts.

I have a 15" deep mattress. It's worthwhile to buy a two or three really good sets. That's all you'll need. :)

12. Dillards house brand sheets will fit, if you have a Dillards.

And they are having a white sale now, 50% off. You might try on line. :)

13. I have an oversized mattress - most Linen stores carry them

I love sheets and own several sets - purchased at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Sears and an old outlet store that went out of business. Most of them will carry sheets specifically for oversized mattress including high thread count!
