Will a 13'; fitted sheet fit a 13.5'; mattress?

I know this sounds like a dumb question but I am just wondering because the new bed I am getting is going to be 13.5 inches and I found this bed set that has a fitted sheet that says it fits mattresses up to 13'; thick but the on other websites (same exact product) says up to 14'; and even 16'; on the same product!!





If it really only fits up to 13';...will it just fit snuggly over my mattress or will it be annoying and keep coming off? I REALLY like this set and hope it works out! Please let me know if you have experienced anything like this!





Thanks! :)Will a 13'; fitted sheet fit a 13.5'; mattress?
As your sheet is supposed to have pockets a couple of inches deeper than the mattress, sometimes stores will guess as to what size mattress it will fit. Other stores will just list the pocket size.





If it is truly the exact same product, it probably has a pocket depth of 16';.





If it really only fits up to thirteen inches, the sheet will fit your bed. You'll be able to get it on, and what will probably happen is that the bottom of the sheet ends an inch or two above the bottom of your mattress. It will come off of the mattress more often this way, but it is workable, especially if the sheet has elastic all the way around.





You could even buy sheet straps, which attach to the bottom of the sheet, go under the corners of your mattress, and then attach to the bottom of the sheet on the other side. This will help them stay on.Will a 13'; fitted sheet fit a 13.5'; mattress?
no .5'; too small
Always go larger than your mattress. 13 inches is small. I would go with no less than a 15 or 17 inch sheet. You also have to be aware that there can be some shrinkage in wash particularly if you aren't washing properly. High count sheets have to be washed in cold water and dryed on low and can still shrink. I have paid big bucks for high quality sheets and had to send them to Goodwill because they would no longer fit my mattress. I'm buying as deep a sheet as I can buy now. My mattress requires at least a 15 inch but I'm finding that I need no less than an 18 or 20 some to actually fit. Sheet manufacturers have not come up to speed to the mattress sizes and it has been years. It's crazy.
