Adjustable Bed Sheets Review


There is much confusion about the correct size bed sheets to buy for an adjustable bed. Several linen manufacturers admit to receiving inquiries from adjustable bed customers who are frustrated after having purchased sheets that won't stay on. So what's the secret? According to a representative at Sleep Comfort (which by the way sells their own adjustable bed sheets), consumers should buy deep pocket sheets for an adjustable bed and these can be bought in twin, queen and king.

Buying Adjustable Bed Sheets Online

If you are looking to buy online, several bedding/linen stores carry sheets for adjustable beds. Just make sure that they discuss the special requirements for your mattress and bed; in many cases you will want to measure your mattress (Length, Width and Depth) to compare with their sizing charts.

Standard Adjustable Mattress Sizes

  • Twin
  • XL Twin
  • XXL Twin
  • Hospital - Typically 36"W x 80"L x 8"D - Look for contoured bottom fitted sheet. Invacare sheets (a good choice) have an "envelope" design with corners that wrap deeply around the mattress for a smooth, secure fit that will not slip off and stretches to accommodate mattress overlays. The semi-fitted top sheet is designed with two contoured corners to keep the bed tidy and has a "Foot-Ease" fold at the end of the sheet that provides extra foot room and reduces pressure on the heels.
