Side pocket sheet sets include a fitted sheet with built-in storage pockets along the sides. They’re designed to keep small essentials within reach, which can be helpful if you’re tight on nightstand space.

• Common uses: Store a phone, remote, reading glasses, earbuds, tissues, or a small book.
• Fit considerations: Pockets sit on the fitted sheet, so confirm your mattress depth and choose deep or extra-deep pockets as needed.
• Practical tips: Avoid overstuffing to help maintain pocket shape. Placing heavy, bulky, or sharp items in the pockets isn’t recommended.
• Before you buy: Check product photos and the description for pocket size and placement details. Designs can vary, and results may depend on how you use the pockets.

Getting the right fitted sheet depth can help reduce shifting and corners popping up, especially with toppers.

1. Measure correctly: Measure your mattress depth from bottom to top, including pads or toppers.
2. Match the spec: Use your measurement to choose a sheet labeled for that range. Many deep pocket sheets fit up to about 16 inches, while extra-deep options often cover 18–24 inches.
3. Check product details: Look for the fitted sheet’s stated pocket depth on the item page.
4. If in between: Choosing the next depth up can offer a bit more tuck, though results may vary by mattress and fabric.

Taking a moment to measure and compare specs typically leads to a better fit.

What’s in the box varies by size and set type, so it’s good to verify the product details before you check out.

• 3-piece sets (often Twin/Twin XL): 1 fitted sheet with side pockets, 1 flat sheet, 1 pillowcase.
• 4-piece sets (commonly Full/Queen/King): 1 fitted sheet with side pockets, 1 flat sheet, 2 pillowcases.
• 6-piece sets: Typically the above plus extra pillowcases.

The fitted sheet is the piece that includes the side storage pockets. Since configurations can differ by style, always review the set contents listed on the item page to confirm exactly what you’ll receive.

Pocket placement can vary by design, so it’s worth checking photos and the description on the item page.

• Both sides vs. one side: Some fitted sheets include pockets on both sides, while others may feature a pocket on one side only.
• Height and size: Pockets can sit higher or lower on the side panel and may differ in dimensions.
• Set-up tip: If the pockets are on one side, rotating the fitted sheet 180° can sometimes place the pocket on your preferred side, depending on the design.

Because layouts differ, reviewing images and specs before purchase can help you choose a pocket style that suits your setup.

You’ll find side pocket sheet sets in a range of fabrics, each with a distinct feel.

• Percale cotton: Often described as cool and crisp with a matte finish.
• Cotton-blend sateen: Smooth and slightly silky; tends to feel a bit warmer than percale for some.
• Rayon from bamboo blends: Frequently marketed for a cool-to-the-touch feel and drape.
• Microfiber: Soft and easy-care; warmth and breathability can vary by weave and weight.
• Jersey knit: T-shirt–like softness with a cozy, stretchy feel.

Comfort is personal, and results can vary. Checking product details, thread count or weave, and customer feedback on Walmart.com can help you find the feel you prefer.
