A Sizeable Problem
I need to buy some new bedsheets.
According to various websites, the narrowest of the standard mattress sizes is 39", for the Twin and Twin XL.
My mattress is 36" wide. I also have two beds in the guest room, neither of which is as much as 39" wide.
I guess I'll have to go without a fitted sheet, instead going with two of the - would you call them topsheets? - sheets that go on top of the fitted sheet.
How recent is the current standardization? I bought my bed and its mattresses twenty-five or thirty years ago....
