Extra Deep Fitted Sheets

I want to tell you a story about when I had to buy some new sheets for my bed. What started out as a simple task led to a bit of a nightmare. I don't want you to have to go through the same thing as me and that is why I want to tell my deep fitted sheets story.

I will tell you a little about me before I start. I live with my pregnant girlfriend and she is the one who usually tells me what we need to buy. Most of the time she goes out and buys it too. As she is pregnant she has 'delegated' me some tasks so I have had to get more involved. She recently wanted me to go and buy some bed sheets. I remember it distinctly and she never used the phrase 'deep fitted sheets'.

Now I think that you would agree with me that this should be an easy task that should be over with very quickly. I went to the shops and bought a similar looking colour to the one we had. I made sure that it was for a double bed and even went a bit further and went for organic sheets.

When I am back home I decide to do something nice. I decide to put the sheets on the bed so that when my girlfriend came back home she would have a nice surprise. I tried and tried but I just couldn't get them on. It didn't matter the way I tried to get them on, it didn't work because the mattress was too thick.

My girlfriend came back when the bed was in a state. After she stopped laughing at me she called me an idiot. She told me that I should've bought deep fitted sheets like she said. I know that she didn't but she is very insistent.

Now if you don't want to return the sheets back to the shop in exchange for some deep fitted sheets (like me!), I would advise that you check the depth of your mattress before you go shopping.
