Brent,
Because of my wife's back condition we have bought one of those thermapedic foam mattresses for our Westy.  We made an "envelope" out of sheets to put it into.  When my wife sewed the flat sheets together they were longer than the 6' foam pad so she folded the extra back over the top again, sewed it down on the edges and in effect made an envelope with an overlapping flap.  The flap is big enough to slide the pillows in (this was my idea :-) to help avoid just the problem you're talking about.
