what depth does the fitted bottom sheet have to be?

I'm not positive. I typically use a regular sheet and it works out just fine but does not cover from the top to the bottom of the sides. That was OK because the sheet stays in place for me. Besides, I don't necessarily want to cover the pump mechanism. My recent purchase was a replacement for the one we had for years. I've only used the new one a couple of times with no problems. If you want to cover more of the sides then I would get the deep pocket/sided fitted sheets; otherwise the regular fitted sheet should be fine. Please keep in mind that I only sleep on the mattress a couple n ights at a time when I go camping or we visit relatives who don't have a spare bed for all our kids. I'm not positive.

This mattress is 18 inches high when blown up. A regular fitted QUEEN size sheet will work. To put on the sheet by yourself; Partially inflate the bed then put on sheet and continue to inflate the bed to proper firmness.

The depth of the bottom cloth is 16 inches, but since there is a 1 inch gap between back and bottom in middle, perhaps depth is 17 inches.

The specs say nine inches. Mine is on a standard depth mattress with a two inch pad. There is plenty of depth.

This should not impede making the bed. It should accommodate the fitted sheet and flat sheet fine.

If you are putting an additional 4" memory foam on top of your regular mattress this fitted sheet will not be deep enough. I have a 1" memory foam on top of my regular mattress and it just fits, there is no extra depth that would allow for the 4" foam.

yes. And the fitted sheet indeed is for 'deep' mattresses. My mattress is not as thick,so there is a little extra 'flab' in the fitted sheet.

The fitted sheet accommodates up to 16" inches deep. Like my pillow top mattress is that thick, so it actually fits well which is normally hard to find.

Hi Bryan. Sorry the futon is at condo, where I am not. I can tell you that dbl sheets fit and also that it will be on the small side of that even.

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

If you cover both the mattress and the pad together, you will need the extra deep sheets. The regular sheets are too small.

Babies r us has a pad that you could fit under the fitted sheet. It won't look pretty but it will give waterproof protection. They come in various sizes.

I needed to get the fitted sheets that are extra deep, my old ones didn't stay put with the feather bed. With the extra deep fitted sheets featherbed says on without any sliding.

I've never attempted to put a fitted sheet on it, my guess is that it might but not very long. I just throw a flat sheet on it.

I would use an extra deep fitted sheet - it won't go all the way to the floor, but it will be long enough to stay on all night.

I have a Queen size bed - a tempurpedic - so it is thicker, I believe, than the ordinary mattress. The sheet is constructed to fit ANY DEPTH. The drawstring - will tighten it to the right size - and it will fit no matter what depth you have. The only "drawback" to this clever item, is that in order to have a good tight, comfortable fit, you have to make the bed every day. (: .

It would be tough to use a fitted sheet because the headrest sits up higher than the rest of the mattress. I use a full-size flat sheet and just tuck it underneath to get it to stay - this works fine. It is a very good bed for the money, I would recommend this one.

I have a standard King bed with a pillow top and a fairly thick mattress pad and I found the sides of the sheet to be long enough. And didn't seen to fit tightly, just right.
