The fitted sheet easily fit my 14" mattress, with plenty to spare to tuck under to anchor it. Now the bottom sheet won't bunch up and leave impressions on my skin. The top sheet is extra long so I don't have to choose between having enough to turn down over the blanket or having enough to securely tuck under at the end. The pillowcases are generous as well, hiding the pillow completely at the open end. Washed them in cold without fabric softener before putting them on the bed and they are sooooo soft - I was able to fall asleep quickly and slept a solid 10 hours!
