Did you ever buy full linen for your beds? are you happy? does it look messy? did you alter it to fit the bed better?
TIA

The sheets are messy. Doable if you're not fussy.
I have taken in sheets but not full size to 48". At the Jewish linen store that knows linen, they redid twin 39" sheets to 33" for junior beds.
I don't know if I'd do it at a regular dressmaker. Ask them.

The only thing that will look messy are the sheets. You can buy them at any local Jewish linen shop.

No I only get linen in Jewish stores that sell for this size bed.
Once got in IKEA and I needed to use clips so it should stay on but it was terrible.

I use sheet garters on 54 inch sheets. Works great.

I use full sheets on 44 inch beds. looks very good. Not perfect but really looks nice and normal. Sheets are much more expensive in yiddish stores so I bought full size online.
personally, it's much easier to put on the sheets if it's a drop bigger. And when the beds are made, the duvet hangs down so you really don't even see the sheets.

I used full size duvet covers and pillow cases from Amazon. I bought sheets locally.

I use full size on 48", looks just fine. Sheets are not messy at all. Looks pretty much same as my 48" linen actually

I buy any size linen set if I like the color, and than I use jersey cotton fitted sheets from Amazon. Very convenient..
