All about Extra Long Twin Sheets

As some of you may already know, extra long twin sheets are hard to find.  Yet even more rare is an Extra Long Twin Sheets set that actually fits properly.  With 5 additional inches in length, measuring 39x80 instead of the Standard Twin Sheet dimensions of 39x75, extra long twin sheets fit the Extra Long Twin Bed, most commonly found in dormitory housing on college campuses and in the homes of those individuals who may want the extra leg room.  XL twin sheets also fit Dual King Adjustable Beds, as well as Hospital Beds for the home.  Luxury XL twin sheets provide incredible comfort and support a good night’s rest both in and away from home.  Most importantly, as any true luxury bedding item has the highest quality from fiber to finish, luxury XL twin sheets will have the best fit, the finest feel and the highest durability.  The best of the best, they provide a world of blissful comfort and ease of fit.  They also add a dimension of elegance that anyone is sure to notice and certain to love.

Supreme quality, softness and excellent fit are hallmarks of all luxury bedding, all of which are highly useful when one needs to purchase specialty items like XL twin sheets.  Due to their knowledge of their clients’ needs, luxury bedding designers have created luxury XL twin sheets in a variety of higher thread counts, which makes them stronger and more durable, an essential feature of any purchase, but especially that of bed sheets, which are highly used elements.  While the high durability alone makes XL luxury bed sheets more desirable and well worth the investment, luxury XL twin sheets offer another beneficial feature, namely that they will have less shrinkage over time, a bedding concern especially critical to maintaining a quality fit on an Extra Long Twin or Dual King Adjustable Bed.   Sheets of lower quality show wear and tear more quickly.  Standard XL Twin Sheets may be prone to shrinkage as well, which is a particularly upsetting drawback when dealing with a uniquely sized bed.

Luxury extra long twin sheets add incredible value to anyone who possesses them.  For the student away from the usual comforts of home, luxury XL Twin Dorm Sheets offer a way to feel at home without being there.  One unmistakably thoughtful gift to give your student as he or she embarks on the academic journey is to send them some luxury extra long twin sheets to relax into at night.  Rest is crucial for optimal brain function and promotes stress relief as well, two essential elements for any student.  Falling asleep in the comfort of luxury XL twin sheets is sure to assist in providing a sense of comfort away from home and a refuge away from the day’s stresses.  For those who have Dual Adjustable King Beds, optimum comfort is obviously a concern, and what naturally follows is a desire to have bedding that has the best fit and is the most soothing to the soul.  A set of luxury extra long twin sheets appeases the appetite for high quality and provides exceptional softness to envelop the body in comfort.  When considering ways to make a person feel comfortable and at ease, luxury Hospital Bed sheets are certainly worth the investment.  Whatever the reason may be for having a Hospital Bed at home, covering the bed in finely made luxury XL twin sheets is one exceptional way to promote blissful comfort while resting or sleeping.

Deep Fitted XL Sheets vs. Shallow Fitted XL Sheets

Gussets.  The word harkens to mind the Dark Ages, when gussets were built into such things as armor and otherwise tight-fitting clothing to allow for a bit of extra flexibility where it was needed – under the arm for instance or around the waist.  In modern bedding terms, however, the gusset refers to the depth of the fitted sheet.  A shallow XL twin sheet with a shallow gusset will usually fit a mattress with a depth of 8 to 11 inches.  A bed with “deep pockets” will generally need a fitted sheet with a sheet gusset ranging from 17 to 22 inches. 

Dual King and Dual King Adjustable beds often have deep pockets; therefore, when shopping for luxury extra long sheets, having the correct measurement for the sheet gusset is critical.  A shallow XL twin sheet will, again, have a gusset of 8 to 11 inches and simply won't fit a deep pocket Dual King mattress.  However, dorm bed mattresses and mattresses for hospital beds are most often shallow and may get swallowed by a deep XL twin sheet meant for a deep pocket Dual King Adjustable mattress.  Therefore, choose shallow XL twin sheets for traditional dorm and hospital beds with shallow mattress depth and deep XL twin sheets for Dual King and Dual King Adjustable beds with deep pockets.  The numbers won't lie, so always measure your mattress before you buy your luxury extra long sheets.   

Luxury bedding designers have created XL twin sheets in a variety of gusset sizes to ensure the best quality fit, and they often have included elastic around the entire circumference of the fitted sheet so that it will stay properly in its place.  While their fit will be perfect, luxury extra long sheets go a long way to provide comfort, a key benefit for the student, the one who loves adjustable beds, or the one who may need a hospital bed at home to maintain a high quality of life.  The durability and softness of luxury extra long sheets is certain to please.

Everything You Want to Know about Washing Sheets - Luxury XL Twin

Congratulations!  You did your homework and successfully purchased an authentic, sumptuous set of XL luxury twin sheets.  Now, however, your challenge is to care for your XL twin sheets in a way that will promote their staying power.   Put simply, when it comes to luxury XL twin sheets, care is quintessential in maintaining an exceptional lifespan for your luxury extra long twin sheets.  To wash sheets well is to keep the luxury coming. 

One's sheets are truly put to the test of durability with their considerable use.  This is why an investment in luxury XL twin sheets is a smart one.  While other cotton sheets may shrink – the absolute worst thing that could happen to extra long twin sheets – XL luxury twin sheets are thoughtfully crafted to ensure minimal shrinkage.  They are also going to wear better, become softer over time, and in all other ways are more likely to please.  Because of wear, XL twin sheets undergo washing much more often than most other articles of luxury bedding, with the possible exception of pillowcases.   

So, how do you wash your luxury XL twin sheets in a way that will keep them glorious for years to come?  A key factor that will prevent shrinkage, of course, is laundering sheets in cold water.  Trial and error may have already proven what hot water can do to certain articles of clothing.  When it comes to luxury extra long twin sheets, hot water is likely to damage the luxury fibers and is certainly more likely to hold blemishes or stains on the sheeting.  Washing sheets, especially luxury XL twin sheets, in cold water is a must.  Also, to promote the life of your sheets, wash XL twin sheets by themselves.  Washing luxury sheets with other items can also lead to damage of the fibers.  Especially avoid washing sheets with such heavy items as denims.  Do not overfill the washing machine either.  The more room for the luxury XL twin sheets to cycle, the better.

When washing sheets, another key element is the type of laundering detergent used.  Most popular store brands of laundry detergent are full of chemicals, chemical scents, bleach additives or their equivalents, and sometimes active enzymes that help release stains.  All of these additives are highly detrimental to luxury XL twin sheets.  Discoloration, fiber damage, and an overall shortened lifespan due to the harsh chemical agents may occur.  To prevent this, wash your luxury extra long twin sheets with detergent that is phosphate and sulphate free and that is also free of any bleach, enzymes or the like.  Le Blanc Linen Wash is a great example of a detergent that would be appropriate for use with XL luxury twin sheets.  To read more about them, go to http://www.linenwash.com/ .  Whichever detergent you use, when washing sheets, make sure to use the minimum amount required for your load and rinse sheets fully.

To dry XL twin sheets, use the lowest possible temperatures available.  Again, heat can damage the fibers of luxury XL twin sheets, causing possible premature wear.  Line drying is also an option.  White sheets may be line dried occasionally in direct sunlight, which has its own whitening power.  However, this is not a good idea for sheets with patterns, dark accent embroidery or tape, or sheets with medium to dark colors. 

Now that you know how to wash your XL luxury twin sheets well, you can look forward to many more pleasant evenings of comfort with them!
