Help finding 20cm/8 inch deep fitted sheets

Hi folks,

Have a king size mattress that's 8 inches or 20cm deep. Having awful trouble finding good quality fitted sheets for it that actually fit. It seems in the last few years the standard depth of a mattress has gone from 20cm to 30cm..the closest I can find are 25cm sheets. They are too loose though and roll off the mattress. Amy suggestions on line or in Dublin? I've tried Harry Corry, home store, marks, arnotts..

Cheers,

Mick

There are 28cm fitted sheets in Next if that helps. 35 and 40cm are available as well.

Thanks but to deep.. picked up a 23 cm one from Amazon and a 25cm from mark's yesterday that isn't ridiculous on it. Mattress was expensive so don't want to change it. Girl in the shop was saying it's a headwreck for people

Dunnes regular fitted sheets are both 25cm/10inch

25cm/10inch

Marks and Spencers normal fitted sheets say "up to 10inch depth"

I always find when washing cotton sheets in the hot wash you'd have some element of shrinkage, so the 25cm shouldnt roll off, and if it's tucked under the mattress tautly any excess fabric should be held in place.

I've never used these but they popped into my head just now, someone said they had used them before as they were tossing and turning a lot in sleep, they found them helpful, no idea if you will - but sleep is important so, you might want to try them if it's an ongoing issue!

Probably a bit late, but White and Green do lovely deep fitted sheets. They have sales all the time, so if you hold off and wait you could get them at a reasonable price. For the quality and softness you get I find they work out better value than 'cheaper' alternatives like Dunnes and Harry Corry. https://whiteandgreenhome.com/
