Product Overview
The Hearth & Harbor Extra Deep Pocket King Size Sheet Set is specifically designed for thicker mattresses which can often make it difficult to find a standard-fitting bed sheet. The Hearth & Harbor set usually includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillow cases. The deep pocket on the fitted sheet of this set is designed so that you will have room to slide your mattress topper or pillow-top mattress under the sheet without having to stretch the fabric beyond its limits.
These sets are made using a brushed microfiber material which provides a soft and silky feel while being very light in weight. In addition to providing comfort to the user, they also help prevent the fitted sheet from sliding or bunched up when the bedding is moved normally.
Customers Say
Many buyers say they like the deep-pocketed construction of these sheets so well because they can be used with taller mattresses than you could normally fit a regular sheet set into. A lot of buyers have said that the elasticized bottom edge does a much better job of keeping this type of sheet from sliding off when using thick mattresses, topper pads, or adjustable bed bases.
A common compliment is that the softness and lightness of these sheets feel very nice to many consumers. Some of the most common compliments made about these sheets by their owners, include that they feel extremely smooth, are easy to wash and dry, and are great for every day sleeping; mostly from people who want softer bedding and do not like the stiffness of a crisp cotton sheet.
Some typical complaints associated with these sheets are that they are lighter and sometimes less dense than higher-end cotton sheets, and may wrinkle after being washed. Also, there seems to be a little more variability with regard to how well they will stay on your mattress based upon the thickness/height of your mattress. Some people that prefer to sleep on heavier or more structured bedding may find the soft microfiber too thin/light.

Bottom Line
The Hearth & Harbor Extra Deep Pocket King-Size Sheet Set is a functional choice for thicker mattresses with multiple layers such as pillow-tops or mattress toppers which typical deep-pocket sheet sets have trouble fitting over. While they offer several advantages of being an extra-deep pocket, having a soft microfiber texture and being made from easy-to-clean materials, there are some disadvantages of using these sheets such as the lightweight nature of their synthetic material.
