recently bought a Dreams double mattress............yer right its about a foot deep, and must be a tad larger as our fitted sheets are a struggle to get on.... |

Ann, they only have them when on special offer, different offers each week and when they are gone, that's it! If you get the emails you can see what's available a couple of weeks ahead. With Lidls you get 28 days to return unwanted goods, with Aldi it's 60 days. Most of the time the quality of their things is excellent. |

Thanks Liz, we don't have a convenient Lidl or Aldi close to us but daughter does so when we next visit her I will keep my eyes open. |

I recently got 2 new bottom sheets ftom Lidl or Aldi, can't remember which. Our mattress is deep as it's memory foam. These new sheets are fabulous, lovely cotton jersey and a bit stretchy, and more than deep enough, and cost about £7.99 for double size. |

Thanks everyone, this sheet is deep enough but the elastic sides are really tight ( bought in Dunelm) |

We use fitted sheets all the time, and I love the ones with elastic all the way round! They are less common than those that are fitted only at the corners, and often a little more expensive.. |

you need to try fitting them on on your own - and changing the duvet cover - not easy!!! |

The fitted sheets described as cotton jersey are much stretchier. |

You can get little corner straps for the fitted sheets. I got them when granddaughter moved from her cot to a bed and I used a foam wedge along the side of the bed under the top sheet. Without these straps the sheet pinged straight off :-D |

Dunelm is the place I found fitted sheets to fit a deeper mattress. |

What about a water bed? (Just asking!). |

Loads of places do deeper fitted sheets. |

A number of companies including M&S and John Lewis specify the mattress depth their sheets fit |

I have always found that fitted sheets tend to come unhooked in the night and one corner comes off so you are sleeping on mattress so I have used flat sheets for years. |

yes our mattresse is deep too. Why do they make deep mattresses but no fitted sheets to cope with them. OH is such a fidget that if the sheet wasn't fitted it would always be untucked! |

We gave up with those because our mattress is so deep. We now use super king flat sheets on the king size bed. Lots to tuck in :-D |

We always use a fitted bottom sheet but one we have is a real devil to get on the bed. It is a very good quality, beautiful soft cotton one but (and I have never come across this before), it has elastic the whole way round it. It is so hard to get onto the bed. It takes both of us, you can get two corners on then they spring off as you try to get the other two on. I hate using it but it is so comfortable to sleep on. Once we have fought it on it stays on, doesn't move. anyone else come across this type of fitted sheet? |
