I am confused too, but if the sheets are made for a mattress that is thicker than you want, you can take a seam up each corner and make the fit "tighter." I have done that with all of my sheets. Just in case this helps...

Try Vermont Country catalog. I believe I saw sheets available in two depths. Good luck

This sounds like a good idea to me. We need a deep pocket, like 18" We have a 4" foam mattress on top of the pillow top mattress. Makes the bed easier to get in and out of.

No, all the extra fabric for the deep mattresses doesn't stay tucked and the sheets gets all baggy when you sleep.

It's having too shallow a pocket that is the pits! Have you tried deep pocket sheets?

Bella I need SHALLOWER depth, sheets to fit 9-12" mattresses, no one seems to carry them anymore. Use poor souls who have older mattresses can't find sheets to fit.

Dina, I tried that but it didn't work, you'd need to completely take out a portion all around and then put the elastic back in.

I'll try Big Lots and Tuesday Morning, never thought of them.

Vermont only had the deeper pockets

Thanks, everybody.

Did sheets fit originally and now they don't? We have a Select Comfort and it seems to me that the foam in the surround is getting soft. I was planning on calling the company, they have a twenty year warranty.

Try calling the mattress manufacturer and see if they can refer you somewhere.

Try Linen Source. I get their catalog...what about Kmart and Walmart and JCPenney? Penny's used to be the "go to" place for sheets. Good luck on this. Sounds aggravating! What about a Google search with the requirement size listed? You've probably tried all these. Just trying to help.

Seems to me Walmart should have them. We have an incredibly thick mattress and have the opposite problem. While looking in Walmart for the extra deep we need I think I've seen the shallower pocket sheets there. Hate spending the $$ that the really, really deep pockets we need cost.
