Adjustable Bed Solutions
I had recently taken a series of phone calls from customers with adjustable beds searching for sheets. It turns out that many adjustable beds feature seperate sides which are basically two twin xl adjustable beds. Normally, we see most of our twin xl bedding being bought by potential dorm students or their families. After some further research it appears that one of our fastest growing segments we serve is twin xl adjustable bed owners. It was a pleasent suprise because when we designed our new fine linen collections we specifically wanted to have twin xl bedding for dorm students and or older customers with seperate beds. We did not plan or know about the market for twin xl adjustable bed bedding.
One thing we did learn is that our deep pocket twin extra long sheets were really too deep for most of these beds - which ranged from 12 to 14 inches at most. We have told customers to try sheet clips as a way to hold on to the fitted sheets from below.
We also heard from another customer whose husband had Parkinsons with issues of getting in and out of bed and wanted a ’slick’ sheeting material in a twin xl size. In that case we recommended our 500 TC Tencel Lyocell Cotton sheet set in twin xl. That customer wanted wrinkle free sheets and is currently doing a wash test on her own to see if she can shrink the sheets a bit to fit her bed side better.
In short DOWNLITE is unique in that it has so many twin xl sheeting options to choose from [300 TC Percale Twin XL Sheet Set, 400 TC Sateen Twin XL Sheet Set, 500 TC Tencel Lyocell Cotton Twin XL Sheet Set]. I still stand behind the sheet sets we make as great options for adjustable beds - just make sure you get a pair of sheet clips in case you want an extra tight fitted sheet. The cool touch, moisture wicking Tencel Lyocell sheet set is a great choise for sleepers with night sweats.
