Queen Xl and California Queen Sheets – Taking The Proper Measurements For Sheets

California queen is a term that's often used interchangeably with "Queen XL" to describe a certain size mattress. While California king mattresses are better known, a

Queen XL is a great alternative that may fit in bedrooms where a California king would be too overwhelming. A standard queen size bed measures 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. A Queen XL, on the other hand, is 60 inches wide and 84 inches long. Those extra four inches can make a big difference to tall individuals. It's important to have the proper California Queen/ Queen XL sheets for this size bed.

Your Queen XL sheets must be made to fit your mattress. Using California king or standard queen sheets won't work, because the fitted sheet won't have the proper fit. Sheets that are too large are slightly easier to work with, but even these will slide up and over the edges of the bed in the night and become tangled easily with any kind of movement. Since California queen is a unique mattress size, you may need to look for an equally unique retailer to provide you with the best bedding options for this type of mattress. Bed Linens Etc has everything that you need to get your Queen XL bed outfitted perfectly.

When you're measuring for your Queen XL sheets, it's important to look at more than just the length and width of the bed. You also need to consider the depth. Certain mattresses are deeper than others. Pillow top mattresses, for example, often have a few extra inches to them. Therapeutic mattresses can also have extra depth. If your mattress is more than 10 inches deep, you may want to consider special sheets that have deep or extra deep pockets. Deep pockets accommodate mattresses up to 16 inches thick. Extra deep pockets work for mattresses up to 25 inches thick.

Bed Linens Etc has  Queen XL and California queen sheets with your choice of standard, deep, or extra deep pockets. Finding the proper pocket depth will ensure that your sheets always stay in place. If you have to get up and fix the corners of your sheets often, chances are good that you don't have the right pocket depth on your sheets. Stop buying standard size sheets if you need a specialty product. Trust Bed Linens Etc to provide you with all the bedding you need to get a satisfying night's sleep each and every night.
