After many months of futile arguments with my wife for not bothering to dress our new bed properly, I decided to look online and it turns out that she was actually telling the truth and had indeed being doing her chores correctly. It turns out that some beds, my own bed included, come with particularly large mattresses and therefore no matter how well the bed is dressed the sheets will simply not remain in place for any significant amount of time. This of course sets off a chain reaction of tossing and turning and general matrimonial unhappiness.

With the advent and subsequent increase in popularity of these oddly shaped but extra comfy mattresses has come the invention of new styles of sheets to better fit them. They are known as deep fitted sheets and as I have been so happy with my purchase, I felt it was surely my duty to publish a short guide on how such deep fitted sheets can greatly improve your sex life and perhaps even save your marriage. Those these predictions could be proved inaccurate, I can at least certainly attain to the fact that you will have a much more comfortable nights sleep. Should you be interested in purchasing these useful household furnishings, do read on as I outline just what to look for when purchasing deep fitted sheets.

Of course the most important aspect of deep fitted sheets is that they fit your larger than average mattress snuggly but this is not the only aspect and certainly not the only thing that you should consider if you want to get the most out of your purchase. First off, we have got the thread count. Many people are familiar with this international metric for measuring the overall quality of the weave used. The higher the thread count of your deep fitted sheets, the more comfortable they will be. Though there are a number of different weaves that can be chosen, my research has uncovered that the most comfortable are generally the flannel, percale or sateen variety.

As well as thread count, there is of course the matter of the fiber used. Like the regular variety of sheets, you have a lot of choices when it comes to fibers and unlike thread count, which is the best for you has a lot to do with personal preference. The most popular types of deep fitted sheets come made from a combination of both polyester and cotton. The advantage of combining these fibers is that you are left with deep fitted sheets that offer the advantages of both in that they tend not to wrinkle that much but also come at pretty affordable prices.

After you have considered both the thread count and the fabric used in your new fitted bed sheets, there is then the matter of finishing. Fitted bed sheets and all sheets for that matter can be improved via two types of finishing, both of which greatly improve the overall quality and strength of the sheets. The first type of finishing is known as singeing and this involves simply burning the type of fuzz that builds up during the manufacturing process. Overtime, this can get very irritating and such fuzz is a common sign of poor quality sheets. The second type of finishing is known as mercerizing which involves conducting tension in the sheet once it has been manufactured. This makes the fabric far longer lasting and though fitted bed sheets that have this type of finishing tend to cost a little more, they also tend to last a lot longer.

There is then the matter of aesthetics to consider when on the look out for deep fitted sheets. And though my no means as important as the comfort side when it comes to any form of bedding, deep fitted sheets come in a range of aesthetically delightful flavors and as such you can ensure they truly bring improve the overall look of your bed and bedroom. My existing furnishings rendered my best option to simply be the black variety but there are an endless array of choices and the key to choosing the right one is to always consider how well they will blend with the existing look of your room. Just because they look nice on Amazon that does not mean they will look nice in your bedroom!

The last feature to consider when it comes to deep fitted sheets is elastic. Many deep fitted sheets come with built in elastic all along their outer edges. Such elastic makes both making the bed a whole lot easier and makes it virtually impossible for the sheets to come undone during the course of the night.

Now as mentioned in my first post, I originally assumed that the reason that my bed sheets were not on my bed properly was because “somebody” wasn’t doing their job. I later found out however that the problem was actually that the size of my mattress required me to purchase deep fitted sheets if I wanted to get a good nights sleep. So if you find yourself in my position, how do you establish whether you need deep fitted sheets or if you just need a new wife who actually takes pride in her work. Well, first of all you get out your measuring tape.

The area that you are looking to measure is simply the height of your mattress, therefore the length from the very bottom to the top. On an average mattress, this task will yield a number of less than twelve inches. Many mattress nowadays however go all the way up to 20 inches and therefore the regular variety of sheets simply will not fit them. Once you have measured your mattress, if you determine that the height of your mattress is greater than twelve inches, you will be requiring deep fitted sheets. If the height is less than this, you will be needing a lawyer.

Upon discovering that you do indeed require deep fitted sheets, the next thing to consider is where you are going to get them. In my experience, like most things these days, your best bet is online. As deep fitted bed sheets are nice and light, they fit into that category of goods that can be purchased online and you can benefit from the cheaper prices of Amazon without being punished with high postage charges. It is also worth noting that purchasing online allows you to choose from a far wider variety of styles and materials.

Though I have already outlined the things that you should look for when purchasing deep fitted sheets, there is one more point worth noting. The higher the comfort and quality of deep fitted sheets that you are after, the more that you are going to pay. And though there are many good ways of saving money when purchasing home furnishings, it is important to remember one thing when considering bedding. You spend one third of your life in your bed.
