Twin Xl Fitted Sheets

Twin XL Fitted Sheets — The Five Extra Inches That Matter

A twin XL fitted sheet is five inches longer than a standard twin: 39" x 80" instead of 39" x 75". That difference is invisible on a packing list and unmistakable at 1 a.m., when a regular twin fitted sheet pulls free at the foot of the bed. Twin XL is the standard size for many college dorm beds, and it is also the size of many adjustable bases, split-king halves and spare-room beds. Our twin XL fitted sheets are cut for the full 39" x 80" size, with deep pockets by program and elastic wrapping the entire edge. For exact dimensions before you buy, read our guide on twin XL fitted sheet dimensions.

Fitted Sheets for Twin XL Adjustable Beds — What to Look For

Confirm the size first

A standard twin fitted sheet is 39" x 75". A twin XL fitted sheet is 39" x 80", five inches longer. Check the housing packet before buying for a dorm. A standard twin sheet will not fit a twin XL mattress.
