Queen sheets may not fit your queen bed due to several factors: variations in mattress thickness, shrinking from washing, or even manufacturing discrepancies. Check the dimensions of your sheets against your mattress. Opt for deep-pocket sheets if your mattress is thicker than standard. Pre-washing new sheets can also help meet the size requirements.
