Why do bed sheet manufacturers only make deep pocket fitted bedsheets these days?

I do not have a pillow-top mattress, but I do have a nice California King sized mattress. The new fitted sheets have deeper pockets to fit the pillowtop mattresses, but I don't have a pillowtop mattress, so these ';fitted'; sheets don't work for me and aren't fitted at all. Do they still make the original pockets or am I stuck with a wrinkled bed the rest of my life? Thanks friends.Why do bed sheet manufacturers only make deep pocket fitted bedsheets these days?
Both standard and deep pocket fitted sheets are widely available. Your best bet might be to visit an upscale department store where you can get the help of a knowledgable sales person. Stores like WalMart may only carry one type of sheet for your kind of bed and it will be the sheet set that sells the most units, in your case, pillowtop deep pocket sheets.





You might also take a look at the selections available at Amazon.com. They have an extensive selection of sheets and other bedding.

Have the same problem. sheets for a 12 to 14 inch pocket are just available. Very discouraging.

I have a similar problem my mattress is about a foot thick,i use flat sheets and put hospital corners then use those rubber garder type holders for the corners
They make plenty of ';standard'; sheets. I'm actually having a harder time finding the deep-pocketed sheets, so I'm on the opposite spectrum of you. =/
