My room has just enough space to make one of our 48 inch beds a full. I really want to make mine a full, but that would mean buying bedding for one 48 inch bed and one full. Which I assume I can do at a frum store...
But I was just wondering if its possible to get full sized bedding from a non Jewish place...I can find better prices, and theres a bigger selection. Can you put full sized bedding on a 48 inch bed? I wouldnt do it if it would mean the fitted sheet would become all puffy...I would want it to look nice. Im just thinking maybe the extra 3 inches on each side of the bed wouldnt make much difference...

Anyone have experience with this?

I did try that at one point, and it wasn't terrible really.

I’ve bought full sheets with all around rubber and it works for my 48” bed

Use something like this

I use this for all bedding. Especially little kids who tend to be restless sleepers.

My 48" mattress has a pillow top. I use full sheets and it works well.

It looks like such a pain. Especially toe a heavy mattress in a corner of the room. I can’t imagine.

I have heavy mattresses. It’s worth it.

I’ve had one full and one 48” at one point and we used full size linen and it worked well.

I always use full-size linen so I can buy cheap from Target etc. I just pull the sheets tight under the mattress. I put the fitted sheet on one bed and the flat sheet on the other so I only need to buy one set.

Thank you! In my head I just picture it ballooning, but looks like I should give it a try

I only use full linen on my 48” beds. Fitted sheets stay on and I nevr have any issues.

I have 48 inch mattresses and have always bought full linen sets. My mattresses are pretty thick and it works just fine.

OT but where do you find nice linen that's not from Jewish stores? Can anyone link to bedding they have that they are happy with?
