Show me another »How to make deep pocket sheets fit shallower mattresses?
I bought new sheets, but the fitted bottoms fit up to 15 inch mattresses and my mattress is 8 inches deep. How can I alter the new ones to fit?
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Cutting length by sewing doesn't work, because the alteration has to happen at the corners where the sheet needs to stretch most.
Try sheet straps - they're about 5 bucks at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond:

You make your bed, and then clamp the straps under the corners of your bed to tighten your sheet. They even can be used to turn a normal sheet into a fitted sheet, so they definitely work for normal fitted sheets.
Good luck,
CJ
