A Sizeable Problem

stoutfellowI 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....
