Can't find sheets to fit my bed!!!

We have a king size with the pillow top and can't find sheets to fit them anywhere!!! I bought ones that said 'extra deep pocket' and guess what??? Still don't fit right!
Anyone know where I can find huge pocket sheets for my matress? I'm sick of the sheet only clinging to the pillow top and showing the rest of the mattress!!

I too have this problem - I bought king size deep pocket for a queen bed (again it's a pillow top) I don't think they make sheets to fit the pillow top - It truly drives me crazy - every morning my sheets are coming off - Sorry but I am no help to you - I just wanted to say I'm in the same boat.

I also have the same problem and was considering buying king size sheets.

We have a pillowtop queen, and have the same problem. I often wake up with the fitted sheet untuck and wrapped around my feet!

I've had some luck with jersey knit sheets. They are very, very soft and cozy, and have more 'give' than typical cotton sheets. They are made of material that feels like a t-shirt.

I have the same problem too. I found that Martha Stewarts regular sheets seem to fit ok. She has really soft pima cotton sheets that I buy. If you find some, let me know.

How about QVC's sheets. They are called Northern Nights. I dont have them b/c I dont have a particularily thick mattress but I see them on QVC all the time (yes, Im a closet watcher but I dont buy anything..hhhahah). They look really thick and they are always mentioning how they are deep enough to accomdate the widest mattresses.

Thanks for the suggestions, i do like the way jersey sheets feel.
Ill check out the martha stewart and QVC ones, too.

I've spent so much on sheets already i don't want to spend more but what is there to do? I think even with the clips, the mattress bottom will be exposed.

I have the same problem with sheets. My mattress is a double pillowtop (top and bottom) and I have to buy sheets that fit mattresses up to 18 inches. Macy's Charter Club brand has nice and soft jersey sheets that go up to 18 inches and they usually have the sets on sale for 49.99. I have 2 pairs and I love them. Also try Kohl's, they have a brand called 'the big one' which should fit as well.

My sister bought me flannel sheets from Kohl's and so far they are the best fitting ones I bought. I put them on on Sunday and it has not come off at all yet. I just hope when I wash them it dose not change that.
