You just did it. Whether it's a Tuft & Needle, Saatva, Casper or Leesa Mattress. You saved thousands by buying a bed in a box rather than a tempurpedic or store brand.
You want sheets that will fit. The good news is that most any sheets will fit these new mattresses. The bad news is that not all sheets are created equal. Why spend money on a great mattress and then skimp on the sheets which are, after all, what your body is touching in bed.
What to look for:
- Thick elastic around the perimeter of the fitted sheet.
- Thread-count? An honest thread count in the 200-300 range is best. Interested why? Learn more here.
- Extra-Long Staple Cotton. Supima is the best. Did you know 90% of all Egyptian Cotton is fake? Supima is grown in California and verified. It's also about 3x the price of regular cotton.
- Enough depth. These new mattresses are usually around 10-12" deep. Make sure the sheets you're buying are deep enough. Authenticity 50 sheets will fit mattresses up to 16" deep.
- Percale or Sateen? Percale is the best weave for 90% of people. It sleeps cooler, lasts longer and is preferred by the finest hotels.
- Made in USA. Why sleep on imported sheets made in factories overseas with god knows what chemicals? Match your American-made mattress with American-made sheets. The quality will be higher and your sheets will last longer.

Hi Marsha,
Thanks for your comment and we appreciate your thoughts. Most fitted sheets use cheap, thin elastic. We at Authenticity 50 use thick, heavy elastic that is milled in America. This elastic holds the fitted sheets in place very well. We use a 10" mattress as well and have no problems with the sheets coming untucked. Using quality materials and construction makes a big difference.

I guess I am old fashioned but I want sheets that fit. My new mattress is 10" deep. Sheets that fit “up to 16” are just to deep. They slide up the corners, untucking themselves, causing lots of lumps and bumps on my mattress. The one 10" fitted sheet I have found makes a world of difference. Wish more of the better sheet companies made sheets that fit.

You might have addressed this in the past. Why don’t you offer colors?
