A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
You can get ones that are extra deep with two sets of elastic at each corner, at two different depths for different mattress thicknesses
I love mine. They also have a tag at the top and bottom that says top/bottom so you know which sides are shorter vs longer. Makes making the bed suck a lot less ๐
this sounds like some rich person shit I am too walmartcoded to understand
I hold a corner with one hand, twirl it around in the air until it's completely wrapped around my arm, peel it off my arm, throw it in the closet. Done.
POV: my linen closet
The ones that are the correct size for the mattress always fit fine for me...
This post is the first time I've ever heard that fitted sheets never fit right.
I make mine fit even if it folds my bed in half
So you force it to fit even if it's wildly wrongly sized. Cool.
I haven't tried using the wrong size. Turns out I fucked up
How you say? This way:
Do I do that? Heck no
At least this tutorial is simpler than the other one, which involves folding specific corners over other corners.
Although I think OP's struggle is getting the sheet to fit on the bed itself. IMO it's better to get one that's slightly too big than slightly too small, since you can tuck the excess under the mattress.
specific corners
You just go clockwise.
If the excess really bothers you, there are also these little straps you can buy with little suspender clips on either end, and you can use them across the corners to snug up your sheets. I had some knit jersey sheets once that would not stay on until I got some of those.
Edit: These thingies, sheet stays
I wish I've gotten these sooner, feel like they've improved bed comfort and sleep quality
I got some for my partner because his sheets kept coming off and putting it back on was often something I would do because it was a task that took a disproportionately high level of mental energy for him. Before I got them, he was like "it's fine", and handwaving off the faff of putting the sheet back on, because it was just something he was used to. Afterwards he was like "oh my God, what a quality of life improvement from something so small"
You gotta get the deep pocket kind
