To expect fitted sheets to fit?

[Madmama10]

As above. If I am not, please direct me as to where I can buy some that do before I lose the will to live!

Dunelm 32cm deep fitted sheets do it for me

John Lewis do standard fit and deep fit - assuming your bed is a normal size double/king/queen whatever.

Depends where you got your mattress. For example, if you got the mattress at Ikea, you'll need Ikea sheets.

Got mine from Dunhelm the deep dearest ones and I still struggle. We do have deep mattresses though

I got an expensive fitted sheet from Dunelms, (it probably wasn't, but it was expensive by my standards), from their hotel range. It's a real stretch to get it over our bog standard, cheap double mattress. I bought a cheap but lovely fitted sheet from Asda, brushed cotton with snowflakes all over, and it fits perfectly.

I ended up on Amazon buying the deepest I could find. Dunelm, Lewis's etc stopped short of a sheet that fits!

But I did find some with very very deep 'boxes' in all sorts of colours in good weight cotton for a decent price on Amazon.

I get wilko deep fit. My mattress is huge.

We have a very deep superking mattress and tkmaxx seems to do the trick for us.

I have a dirty little secret, Wilko's!

I like luxury bedding, hotel standard and fitted sheets that stay put. A few months ago I came across some reviews that pointed me in their direction

Sure enough they were wonderfully soft, wash beautifully and the fitted sheet stays put! Best of all they are premium quality for not premium price

I've just bought a fitted sheet from Christy...my mattress isn't huge but there is lots of tuck in. DS has the best brushed cotton ones form Dunelm and a deep mattress and they struggle to fit.

Or you could get flat sheets

I am considering buying king size sheets for a double bed next time.

I currently have some expensive H of F ones on our bed. The extra deep fitting ones. I have to lift the corner of the mattress up, hoick it around and then sit on it to flatten it out.

It gives me the rage.

I just go a size up. Gave up that battle a while back.

The Wilko deep one is 35cm... didn't fit mine, even though the online advice said it should!

The ones I found on Amazon are 16"/40cm deep.

I need deep fitted sheets for all but one of my beds.

Apart from the standard/deep thing - I did buy a luxury fitted sheet in TKMaxx a few weeks ago that wouldn't fit on a standard single mattress at all - by a long way...no wonder it was discounted so much - it was unusable. Back to JL!

No advice but so happy to hear others share my pain. Deep super King mattress plus fat topper equals sheet coming loose every night. I dream of smooth, unwrinkled sheets in smooth pure cotton. JL hasn't delivered on this.

Are the Amazon and Wilkos ones deeper?

Have deep fitted ones from John Lewis and I struggle every time. I don't tumble dry and only wash at 40 degrees do no idea why they stopped fitting well after a couple of washes. We don't even have super deep mattresses

• so no idea

The Amazon 16"/40cm ones definitely are deeper than the 'deep' JL ones. 36cm were the deepest I found in a shop.

If you have a tk maxx near you, look for Frette sheets. Usually super expensive but I've bought several deep superking size fitted sheets for about £17. They're absolutely huge, the only sheets I've found that aren't stretched tight over our bed, and are still a good size after lots of times through the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Oh.. and I gave a fat topper too. I now love my flat, wrinkle free beds. Couldn't stand the tension

Thanks for sharing your advice/pain. We are hoping at some point get a bigger bed so I will have to keep fighting the fight for now but I do now have hope of a better future.

Viceroy on line. They supply hotels. Been very happy with my purchases.

Dunelm deep fitted sheets are the bollocks.

I use them in preference over the White Company ones we have.
