When choosing the perfect set of sheets for your bed, knowing how tall your mattress is will help you determine the proper height/depth dimension. While standard mattresses range from 10-12”, there are five mattress depths you are most likely to encounter. Sleepfoundation.org defines these as:
1. Extra Thick/Deep: 14" or more
2. Thick or Deep Pocket: 12"-14"
3. Standard: 10"-12"
4. Slim: 8"-10"
5. Low Profile: 8" or less
Mattresses are comprised of multiple layers; there is often a comfort layer on the top that is 2"-3" thick, a base layer that is 6"-8" thick, and a transition layer that is 1"-2" thick. Together, these layers make up the height or depth of your mattress.
Choosing the right sheets starts with understanding your mattress dimensions and thickness. By knowing these key details, you can ensure a snug fit, optimal comfort, and a polished look for your bed. Whether it’s a deep-pocket sheet for a thicker mattress or a standard fit for a more traditional size, the right sheets make all the difference in your sleep experience. Take the time to measure and match, and you’ll enjoy restful nights on a comfortable and luxurious-feeling bed.
