Re: Informatin Impossible to Find on the WWW,
Ron,
I know what you mean. We have all become used to finding information on the web about the most arcane things, then when something like your knife or 'waterbed poles' - ? (Really??) comes up with nada, we are amazed! I take it you don't have a waterbed,or you'd simply measure it. Wouldn't the internal measurement of the box give you the correct length? Can the poles be ordered separately? I guess I don't understand the problem.

Skipper,
I actually DO have a waterbed...for over 42 years now........
It is just that not all sheets require poLes, many just have elastoc pockets at the corners to fit around the corners of the mattresses.
Not all sheets which DO require poLes are designed the same.
In some, the length of the poLes does not matter; newer ones are more sensitive.........
The poLes are used to keep the sheets tucked under the mattress at the corners.
They slide into sewn pockets and are placed under the mattress spanning across the corners.
The longer the poLe, the farther away from the corner it will be (geometry) and may tuck the sheet corner under too far.
That'll cause the sheet to not fit................
