Have a queen size bed with two pillow tops - would like ideas on how to make it look like those pictures you see in magazines - No matter how many fitting sheets I purchase, I do not seem to achieve that crispy aesthetic look. Help please.
Even after placing a bedspread you can still see it does not look okay. Help please. Thanks
Buy the satin blend from Sams club or BJ,s. I find them to fit well and I love the softness against my skin. They run $50-$60 I think but worth every cent. We have tried $200. Bamboo sheets that do not even compare to these sheets.
Hi have you tried a king size sheet. ? Maybe it would cover it all. Good luck on your project. .
Buy some sheet straps to hold the sheets tight onto mattress https://www.google.com/search?q=sheet+straps&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS750US750&oq=sheet+straps&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.5331j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Also you can buy a king sized bedspread for the added side coverage. Just have to cut the box cover in half then sew the two pieces together to fit your queen sized box mattress. The pillows shams may need to be adjusted as well if you use regular pillows. If you buy king pillows you will be fine. Hope all these suggestions help you out.
I know this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but I don't turn down the top of my comforter. Yours looks long enough to cover the sides. If you pull it all the way up, you will have a neat looking bed. I love your choice of comforter and pillows.
Hi, Mariah,
The mattress toppers should have come with covers. Box spring covers are purchased, separately, and come zippered (full coverage) or elastic sided.
Mattress pads come quilted or unquilted, with elastic sides.
Measure the entire depth of the mattress pads plus the mattress and box spring.
Your fitted sheets must be of a depth to cover the mattress and pads.
Your top sheet must be of a width sufficient to cover the mattress, pads, and box spring/bed rail.
Your comforter should have sufficient "drop" to hide your bed mattress and box spring, to the top of the bed rails, or lower. If you want to use your current comforter, add a section of black, to cover the sides and bottom of bed, so sheets do not show.
It has to do with how you put them in the bed in the first place. If I do the classic hotel fold they seem to stay there just fine. As for bamboo sheets I really love them as they are extremely easy to keep clean. My husband is way too clumsy to have cotton sheets and one of the reasons I bought bamboo pillows https://www.topbambooproducts.com/best-bamboo-pillow/ is that they are light and easy to clean. Another great thing of course is that they are good for your health. I always wondered if some of my allergies were related to the pillows we had as my symptoms have stopped after sleeping on the new pillows.
