Deep pocket sheets are designed to fit over thick mattresses and mattresses with pillow or memory foam toppers. They have extra fabric that helps them fit snugly on deep mattresses, preventing them from slipping and bunching up during the night. Standard sheet sets fit up to 14 inches, so if your mattress is any thicker than that, it might be time to look for a quality deep pocket sheet set. Deep pocket sheets are available in a variety of colors and patterns, but they typically have a more simple and subdued aesthetic than regular sheets.

When shopping for deep pocket sheets, it is important to measure your mattress before you begin shopping for a deep pocket sheet set. To get an accurate measurement, remove your current bedding, including your sheets. If you use any sort of pillow or foam toppers, you’ll want to leave them on. With a tape measure or ruler, measure your mattress at its thickest point, often this is at the center of the mattress rather than the side measurement. Standard deep pocket sheets fit mattresses that are up to 15 inches thick, while extra deep pocket sheets can generally accommodate mattresses between 16 and 24 inches thick.

Deep pocket sheets are an essential item for anyone with a thick mattress, and they can also add a touch of sophistication to any bedroom. They are particularly useful on thicker mattresses or if you use any additional accessories like mattress toppers and protectors. If you find that your sheet often bunches and gathers during the night, it’s probably because it’s too small for your mattress. A deep pocket sheet will solve this problem.
