How deep is the part the rests on top of the mattress? For college, the beds about 8 in deep. and my fitted sheet is 11.

I'm really not sure how to answer your question. I only know that it perfectly fits an average size twin mattress. I hope that this answer helps.

Our mattress is a king size but it is also 12 inches thick and these are plenty deep enough.

I got a set of fitted sheets from target that said they were for mattresses up to 8" high. There is quite a bit of material that is under the mattress, but the top is smooth and I no longer have the fitted sheet coming off the mattress like I did with my old bed.

Eight inches max. That way there is enough to fit under the mattres to secure it. We bought two and ended up using one on a older standard mattress. It was OK UNTIL we washed it. We dried it on the WARM setting and it melted. I would not recommend this product at all. Spend a little more and get a better grade. This one is pure junk IMHO.

I bought a queen size and it fits nicely but I don't think a twin size would fit a college dorm mattress because they are extra long. To be safe, you probably should order something that says XL.

The mattress I have is the 13in. I absolutely love it. It is pretty firm. I don't know what the 11in feels like but I could imagine that it would be more firm without the extra comfort layer.

You will be in great shape with this sheet. I believe it accomdates up to 20 inches depth. I have a normal size mattress and it hangs way down.

Just took a look and we have a little over an inch to spare between the collapsed bottom bed and the top bed frame. We have 8 inch memory foam on the beds and the collapsible bed fits easily underneath. It is also very comfortable. My 4 year uses it normally but we have put adults on both beds when we have a crowd with no complaints (and we have the type of guest who would have no problem telling us they were uncomfortable).

I have it on top of the mattress that was donated to me in college 10 years ago (I have no idea how old the mattress actually is but it is at least 10 years old). I was using it as my mattress until last year and it is now my guest bed. I get compliments on how comfy the bed is all of the time! I attribute it to the mattress topper. After my family tried it out, they have all purchased them too! I highly recommend it! If your dorm mattress is terrible- you may want to consider an affordable foam topper that is thick to provide a little more support. This topper adds an amazing plush feeling under your sheets. Deep pockets too so it can accommodate really deep mattresses.

The mattress I bought was a queen size and sits about 18 inches high. My guests have told me it's extremely comfortable.It needs the deeper queen size sheet.

I just measured.... 14 inches. They are on my bed now. I Love these sheets!

It's hard to get on the bed but well worth it. It won't come off and the sheets fit right over it. Just make sure you measure the mattress height and that it's within the specified range for the pad, which is 11-18 inches.

I need to revise my response... My mattress is closer to 8" deep. Sorry about that!

A little but not much. I have a mattress that is 44 inches by 75 inches and 8 inches deep. The sheets fit it well after many washings and dryings.

Mattress sits about 4" in frame. Standard full mattress is best, but if deeper it will just sit higher. Other than that it doesn't matter:)

My mattress is 10", topped by a quilted mattress pad and a 4" memory foam topper, and the bottom sheet pockets are generously tucked under the mattress. If memory serves correctly these sheets have 16" pockets. I only checked one of the queen sets as they are for the two guest bedrooms and are only used sporadically. They wash/dry beautifully and I've not had any fading. Sorry, but I didn't check all 4 corners for the information tabs. Hope this helps, Emily Uritsky, 8/10/2013

My sheets say fits up to 17" mattress. So my sheets JUST fit on this mattress. I think 18" ones would be better but depends on sheets you want. Great mattress, I got a twin size to replace my 25 year old craftmatic mattress.

The mattress should be 8-44" thick. Anymore will make the bed too high for people under 6' to sit on, and you will hit your head on the drawer knobs that stick out from the headboard in the middle of the bed. I have a 15" mattress and it is a little too high. I'll probably remove the knobs.
