When you’re shopping for new bedding, have you ever considered looking at specific fit details? Many people don’t consider fit details for their bedding because they just expect that if they buy the correct size, it will fit their specific mattress. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, so it’s important to opt for premium sheets that ensure a more precise fit.   

The Problem with Fit

There are many reasons why you may find your bedding waking you up throughout the night. Some of these reasons include:

• Sheets that are too loose or too tight to fit your mattress depth
• Fitted sheets that come off when you toss & turn or use an adjustable mattress
• Fighting over top sheet coverage with your partner
• Pillows sliding out of your pillowcases 

High-quality sheets that offer a more precise fit and optimal coverage can help provide a better chance at uninterrupted sleep for deeper rest.

Precision-Fit Details

Purecare’s premium sheets are designed with exclusive Precision-Fit® details that offer a crisp fit for deep, uninterrupted sleep (plus, it makes making your bed in the morning a breeze!). 

Keeping Your Fitted Sheet in Place

There are many reasons why your fitted sheet isn’t staying on your mattress. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Incorrect Fit: Fitted sheets that are too tight or too loose for your specific mattress depth typically don’t grasp the edges properly
• Low-Quality Elastic: If the elastic band is too small or weak, it struggles to grip the mattress and stay in place
• Tossing and Turning: When you move around a lot at night, if your sheets aren’t tightly secured, they’ll move right around with you
• Slippery Sleep Surface: If your mattress pad, protector, or even the mattress itself is silky or slippery, this can cause the fitted sheet to slide off without a tight enough grip

When we designed our premium fitted sheets, we kept all of these aspects in mind and came up with two additional details that helped solve these issues and more: our strong, Precision-Fit® 1” elastic cuff and Precision-Fit® corners with durable, sewn-in elastic.

Purecare’s Precision-Fit Elastic Cuff

Fitted sheets are specifically designed to have a snug fit on your mattress to keep it secure on your bed as you sleep. This is done through the addition of an elastic band or cuff on the bottom of the fitted sheet that is there to help prevent the sheet from sliding around by “hugging” the mattress. However, if the elastic band is too small or too weak, the grip will not be as secure, which is why many fitted sheets end up popping off the sides of the mattress.

The main point is, the stronger and thicker the elastic, the more secure the fit will be. That’s why Purecare has designed our fitted sheets (and a selection of our Mattress Protectors) with a thick, durable, 1” elastic cuff. While 1” may not seem large, for context, the standard elastic band on an average fitted sheet is around only 1/4”, and that extra width can make a huge difference. 

Purecare’s Precision-Fit Corners

Because there isn’t a universal number when it comes to mattress height, it can be difficult to know if the fitted sheets you buy will actually fit your mattress. Most Queen-sized mattresses can range anywhere from around 8-14 inches high (with some modern, thicker mattresses even higher)—and that range can have a huge impact when it comes to the fit of your sheets.

Thanks to the elastic Precision-Fit® corners, our fitted sheets cinch to fit shallower mattresses or stretch to fit mattresses up to 18” deep. This ensures that no matter the depth of your mattress, the fitted sheet will not only slip on with ease but will stay put no matter how much you toss and turn. You can also enjoy a clean, crisp look that only a snug, secure fit can provide.  

Even Coverage for Your Flat Sheet

Anyone who has shared a bed with a partner knows firsthand the struggle of sharing sheets. Whether you’re the blanket hog or they are, there just never seems to be enough fabric to go around. By adding an additional 4” of width to our flat sheets, we’ve offered a solution that ensures even coverage for every sleeper.

Whether you like a luxurious drape or a crisp tuck when you make your bed, this extra four inches also helps create a more aesthetically pleasing look for a beautifully made bed. 

Preventing Your Pillow from Slipping Out

Have you ever wondered why when you buy a specific size of pillow it doesn’t always fit that same-sized pillowcase? Like most things, pillows aren’t a “one-size-fits-all” kind of product. You may have three Queen-sized pillows that all fit your Queen-sized pillowcase in a slightly different way. This can be because of the loft (how thick your pillow is), the cover fabric, the type of fill, or a handful of other reasons. 

Even when your pillow perfectly fits your pillowcase, you may still find that as you move around in your sleep, the pillow either slides out of the edge of the pillowcase, or the pillowcase may rotate, creating an uncomfortable sleep surface.

Our solution? A deep-pocket enveloping pillowcase. If you open the side of our pillowcases, you’ll find an additional 8” of fabric that is sewn into a pocketed design. When you insert a pillow, the pocket folds around the edge, helping to secure the pillow in place while creating a crisp, flawless look. 

Finding the Right Fit

Once you know you have selected premium sheets with the perfect fit in mind, you also need to make sure that the sheets you’re purchasing will fit your mattress size. If you’re unsure what size to buy, this helpful chart with approximate dimensions of common mattress sizes may be able to help:
