I just received this sheet set.  The fitted sheet has 25-inch pockets, and it fits beautifully on my bed!!!  I have a queen-size pillow top sleep number bed, and this is the FIRST fitted sheet that has ever fit the mattress.  Now, having said that, one would think that if a 25-inch, deep pocket fitted sheet is needed to dress a mattress, that the flat sheet included in the set would, likewise, be oversized.  WRONG.  The flat sheet barely covers the mattress.  Consequently, I had to order a single King-size flat sheet in addition to the queen-size set I ordered.  Sheet sets that are "deep pocket" should also provide an over-sized flat sheet; that just common sense...
