    This is 2009. Who still uses fitted sheets? And why would anyone want to use them?

    I`m very good at hospital corners but what`s wrong with fitted sheets. they are far easier than flat sheets.

    I had the SAME thing - they sheets kep popping off the bed!

    My fix was to purchase a super double king size 400 thread Egyptian cotton sheet and there is so much material I can get a really GOOD tuck-in and it never comes untucked

    Hi

    Costco (UK) sheets have deep pockets, and are excellent quality/high thread count.

    Maybe a thought for the future:
    I always buy my sheets when I visit the USA. HTC and deep pockets are the norm, and prices are much, much lower than here. Just take an empty suitcase and fill it up. Hope this helps.

    Most mattresses used to be about 8" deep on average. However 10" deep mattresses are now very common, so fitted sheets to fit them are becoming very common also.

    Any of the large department stores should sell them. I bought mine from John Lewis, but they only did them in oyster or white. Just make sure that they are designed for deep mattresses.

    As someone else mentioned, the quality for most of Dreams own brand products is low, so if you buy from there then only buy other brands.

    M&S have deep fitted Suprima pure cotton non-iron deep fitted sheets half price at the moment in various colours. There's free delivery and discount codes on this site.

    Yesterday I took delivery of two. Bargain price for 100% cotton. I know my John Lewis and Sanderson ones were more than double the price and only ordered these as extra's. Really pleased with these M&S ones - they feel really good quality.

    We got ours from Matalan and they have been very good.
    With reference to the things that hold the sheets in place, I have some that I bought years ago from Betterware. They clip around the corners of the matress/sheet. I expect they still do them.

    They should state on the pack what depth they are suitable for.
