I need to get new sheets for my kids' beds, but the mattresses are only 6-8" deep, and the sheets we have now don't fit snugly. The beds look messy, even when they do manage to make them!

Does anyone know where I can find sheet for smaller mattresses? I'm looking for decent quality, but I don't want really high prices, either.

I know, I'm hard to please

TIA!!

Well, I don't think that you are hard to please at all!
But, then again, I am no help! I have the problem over here that our mattress sizes are different from the ones in UK, so when I came home for my father's funeral, I had to buy sheets for my son's double bed!

Still figuring out how to make this all work ...

look for sheets that have elastic on all the sides (clear around) those fit great on different depth of mattresses great. Including the 5-6" foam mattresses that we have.

I don't know who carries those but they're great.

Anne I know I have some from Cuddledown (NICE flannel sheets--Christmas gifts from my mom) that have the elastic all the way around...but they aren't cheap, either. They do wear like iron, however. THICK flannel.

Very comfy.

Sorry not to be more help...

I think JCPenny has some.. now that i've had more time to think I realized that the king-size sheet for my bed has that and i know I got them at Penney's.
