Serta IComfort - Can't find sheets to fit 12" Foam Mattress! Help
|
I'm so excited to experience my first night's sleep on my new IComfort (12" deep) that was delivered today BUT I'm seriously thinking about returning it already without sleeping on it because the two fitted sheets of the sets I've purchased are baggy on the mattress. I purchased Wamsutta No Iron 525 TC sheets that fit mattresses up to 18" deep. The other set came from Dillards, and again these are not extra deep sheets, but "regular" according to today's standards. The Serta company recommended the Luna mattress protector, and it is also baggy and does not fit snuggly. I've been reading reviews on sheets for two weeks now, and I can't find good sheets that will fit a foam mattress well.
Does anyone who owns a Tempur-Pedic mattress or an IComfort mattress have recommendations for very good quality sheets that fit these smaller depth mattresses? This message was modified Apr 10, 2012 by SunnyinGA

| We purchased the iComfort Savant (I believe this was formerly the Revolution) about a month ago. I was facing back surgery, and we decided this would be a perfect solution for my recovery and beyond (plus, our other mattress was 10 years old). Unfortunately, we experienced the same problem (baggy sheets). We got the individual mattresses so that we could have individual controls, and as the salesperson suggested we got twin XL fitted sheets. The bed itself is extremely comfortable, but the sheets were so big and baggy that I couldn't sleep. I was seriously considering taking it back, but decided to try one more thing first. I purchased regular sized twin fitted sheets (not XL). When we were putting them on, my husband accidentally put the the sheet over the 2" (or so) base as well, so we decided to try sleeping on it to see if it would work. It's only been a few days, but so far, the sheets stay fairly tight. Of course, any sheet is going to get loose in the crease when you raise the head, but when the mattress is flat, it tightens up again. My biggest complaint with the XL sheet was that it would bunch up near my feet, and was very uncomfortable for me. It is no longer doing that with the regular sized sheets. I don't know if this would work for mattresses that aren't split or for the beds without the electronic controls, but if you like the overall comfort of the bed (which we do), try this little trick before considering returning it. Hope this helps! |

The solution is to have a seamstress make your own custom fitted sheet. Use 2 flat sheets to create an envelope. The open end should be at the bottom of the bed. You can also have a strip of Velcro sewn in about 12 inches back from the edge and along the bottom of a third fitted sheet. Depending on the material the envelop should be -1 to +1 inches of the mattress circumference. I have an adjustable bed so attaching the sheet is easy. I am amazed Serta isn't offering custom fit sheets. Cost to tailor a set 30 - 50 dollars.
