I bought a set of natural linens a few years ago, and have loved them. It came time to order a new fitted sheet, so I came to the website and just placed an order using the height of my mattress. MISTAKE! There is a very important note that is easily lost in the sea of words that is the description for this product: "select a pocket size 2" to 3" higher than your mattress thickness." I was so confident in my familiarity with the product and ordering skills that I didn't take the time to read the product information for any such notes. So when I received the package, I immediately washed the sheet, and then placed it on my bed only to find that it doesn't quite fit! Since I had already washed it and discarded the packaging I guess I'm stuck with it. It works well enough, and I can live with the awkward fit for now. I still love this bedding and think it's a great product; no one to blame for this except myself. Lesson learned: ALWAYS read the description and pay attention to special notes about specifying sizes for ordering.
