    Sttandard sheets fit them no problem Heather. My air mattress is 200 x 90 x 20.3cm, for example, and I've no problem with fitted or flat sheets.

    That sounds like a wise move. xx

      Heather R I first looked at Amazon for fitted single sheets for my 198cm hospital bed and they quoted length of sheets as 190cm so I assumed that was standard but maybe they are not. I'm really looking forward to my hospital bed as I cannot sit myself up and I'm on a knife edge with being raised on the Molift from sitting on the edge of the bed. A bed that can lift me up will be great. I'm expecting it on Thursday so I hope the spare room will be cleared by then . I'll let you know how it goes xx

        If at least one of your arms are still strong get grab bars fitted. I keep my bed raised at the head end and I sleep easy. 😴🛏️👍🤗xx

          I bought jersey fitted sheets for my profiling bed which I bought online. They also came in different mattress depths x

              Hi Ellie


              They are great. I got ours on Ebay, just check they state Jersey.

              Thinking of getting more plus some more pillow cases for Hubs.

              Hugs
