I just bought a new box top mattress, it’s like a pillow top but thicker, how do I buy sheets for it?
By fthomas | April 9, 2009
I bought this mattress b/c it was very comfortable only to get it home and then realize none of my sheets fit b/c it is a much thincker mattress. I know I can buy deep pocket sheets but they are very expensive and i would have to buy them seperate from a comforter set which also makes me mad. Anyone out there know of a website that sells deep pocket sheet with comforter sets or do you knwo if any other options? I wasn’t very well informed (my sales guy didn’t do a very good job) when i bought the mattress, I wanted to take it back but it is illlegl to resell a mattress. I will never, by the way, buy a mattress form mattress discounters again !!!!!!!!!!

They make sheet sets for deep mattresses, sell them anywhere you get regular sheets.

You could go the next size up in sheets, if it’s a twin, buy full, if it’s full, buy queen, etc.

Yeah, I don’t know of any other option other than the deep pocket sheets. I had a pillowtop mattress and that is what I bought. I bought mine at Target and I don’t think they were real expensive.

In those little direct mail catalogs (think Walter Drake) you get, you can usually find little “extenders” that look like old garter belt snaps. They are a piece of elastic with rubber hooks on either end. Put one end at the corner of the mattress and hook it to the sheet. Slide the elastic underneath the mattress and hook it to the sheet on the other side of the corner. It will hold smaller sheets on the bed. You can do the same with a piece of elastic and two big safety pins. One piece of elastic for each corner and pin the elastic to the sheet.. I’m not very good at describing this, but I hope you see what I mean. It really works.

Buy the deep pocket sheets. You can buy them at TJ Maxx or Ross or Tuesday Morning. Any discount store has them.

Ours was for a Queen. Although not for this pillow top, we get along fine with King sheet sets.

Yes, Carole is right………I have a pillow top over my mattress, seperate item), same concept) queen size. I have a set of King sheets that fit under both mattress & pillow top. I use my regular queen fitted sheets just over the pillow topper & it works fine. You may have to go with King size, or measure the depth of your mattress and research where to buy fitted sheets for it.
