I didn't know about the different types. I'll have to check out the

different types.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm pretty sure mine is a 2 " and I have it on top of a very deep

mattress. I don't have

any trouble with the deep pocket sheets fitting it, but I think if I

tried a 4 " the sheets wouldn't fit.

I also think there is a difference in the deep pocket sheets by

different manufacturers. Some

cut corners and don't make them as deep as others. I've seen straps

that you can put on the

sheets to keep them from popping off. Bed Bath and Beyond carries

them. Maybe

something like these would help keep your sheets on. Nothing worse

than waking up with

sheets scrunched underneath you.

JC Penny's carry extra deep pocket sheets that fit mattresses up to 20 " .

If you do a google search on deep pocket sheets, I'm sure you'll find

other places as well.

I have Fieldcrest sheets and even with an extra thick mattress and

the memory foam,

the sheets fit fine and don't come off.
