Common Bedding Questions Answered
Most mattresses are 12 to 20 inches in depth. Most manufactures are now making sheets with deep pockets and deeper sides to accommodate the depth of the mattress. In addition, most fitted sheets are manufactured with elastic corners, so even the deepest pocket will fit nice and snug

To keep your sheets from wrinkling take them of the dryer as soon as the cycle is over fluff and fold. I haven’t found a magic way to fold the fitted sheets, I am not sure there is one.
Pilling is common in all fabrics, more so with fabricated products such as polyester and acrylics. Cotton, linen and bamboo will also pill, but will wash away during the wash cycle. To help minimize pilling reduce your wash time and do not over stuff your machine. Use of a fabric softener will also help.
