Do you guys who own these do you think there is enough give where the twin would fit a extra long twin. XL Twin is five inches longer.

They are pretty stretchy, but I don't know if they are quite that stretchy. I will say that my maids have accidentally put my queen-size fitted sheet on the wrong way (put the short end of the fitted sheet on the long side of the bed) and it went on that way. I don't think most woven fitted sheets would have enough give to get it on all four corners that way.

 

I'm going to guess that it might be worth a try for yourself, to get a set home and see if they will work (if you don't mind paying the return shipping fee). I wouldn't be confident enough they would work on an XL Twin to give them as a gift.

Thanks. They would be for my bed. I am going to measure the length of the mattress in a little bit.  They look so cozy.

These sheets do have quite deep pockets on the fitted sheet to accomodate pillow-top mattresses. If your mattress isn't very deep, you might get a bit more length out of the fitted sheet because of that. That might help a bit on the top sheet too, but you may find it is more prone to coming untucked.

Thanks. My mattress isn't thick at all. I actually have a specialty hospital bed that has a rail that goes up snd down. I am not sure if it is actually a XL maturess or not. I will measure it in a little bit when my mom gets home.

I ordered two sets of the queen size sheets in mist green and seafoam.  We have a thick pillow top mattress and it's hard to find sheets that have deep corners and fit properly.  So, I'm really looking forward to receiving them.  I watched the TSV  presentation and it appears they will fit the bill for us.  I hope that's the case.  Smiley Happy

Well poo. My matress is 80 inches. I really don't want to have to send them back. So I guess I will have to pass. Just a note to Berkshire make these in XL twin.

Re: Berkshire upcoming TSV

[ Edited ]

Gosh you guys - I was SO ready to totally ignore this TSV, but then I read all of these glowing reviews lol. Cat Happy

 

Actually - I ordered 3. One for me and hubby and a set for each of the kids. My mom got them 2 really soft throw blankets 2 year ago for Christmas and to my surprise that ended up being probably one of the most if not the most used gift they received that year. They are 12 and 4 years old this year. 4 year old loves his red blankie and has to have it with him every night - and my daughter is the same about her purple blanket - they LOVE those things lol. So when my daughter saw this on TV she pointed at it and was like - THAT I WANT THAT FOR CHRISTMAS lol! A 12 year old! SO i ordered her the white and my son that really lovely dark blue. I got the purple for me Smiley Happy After reading all of the positive reviews how could I say no. Of course I led her to believe I waited too long and didn't order in time to get the deal so she can be surprised at Christmas - I'm so mean - haha Cat Wink

 

I also picked up the "while supplies last" queen sized blanket in queen - though I am a LITTLE worried about that one because it had quite a few reviews noting "shedding" though other reviews said it didn't at all so I don't know how that will turn out. I had to have to ship huge things back, but the price is so reasonable.
