New mattress too deep for fitted sheet

[skiclothes]

We have just bought a new mattress (king size) but it seems too deep for our king size fitted sheets.
The sheets don’t stretch enough over the edges so they come off in the night.
Does anyone have any suggestions for sheets that are deeper than usual ones?

I know I could use a flat sheet but I don’t have the patience for it!

You can also buy elastic 3way clips to hold the sheets securely in each corner. Might be an option if the current sheets are just slightly too small.

Ikea do them. They are a bit too deep for my mattress but better than not deep enough.

Just use flat sheets (I do)

Superking flat sheets as used in hotels stay put and don't ruck in the night. Would never buy fitted sheets again. Once you get the knack of hospital corners, it doesn't take much longer, but they do need to be big.

M and S deep or extra deep fitted sheets are great

To use the flat sheets instead of fitted sheet will I need a bigger flat sheet to allow to tuck under and fold the corners... thanks

Next do deep fitted sheets.

Thanks, I don't seem to have luck with the fitted ones, either too small and when I get the deeper ones. They can slide about if material is soft and someone suggested using flat instead..

You need to measure your mattress and look by actual depth - eg on Amazon. They really vary don’t they! I have learnt this the hard way.

I tried, but cos its a pillow top mattress it's harder to measure correctly..

We bought superking sheets for a king size bed plenty of tuck under

And do they stay in place... that's what I was thinking buying king-size for a double....??

yes they do but i bought flat sheets not fitted ones

Yes that's what I was thinking of doing instead of messing around trying to get right depth fitted ones.. some aren't deep enough and some are deeper. Then slide around on bed. That's why I wondered about flat sheets instead. Just wondered if anyone had tried it this way...😃
