How do you deal with the bottom sheet on your bed?

It always wants to ride up the sides of my bed because elastic never wants to hold it in place. When I wash and dry my sheets it inevitably spirals up in the washer and dryer so it never washes or dries properly. Then it’s a pain in the ass to try and fold neatly.

I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

Do you latch your sheets below your matress’ corners? They’re usually meant to fully cover the top and all sides, except for those with no elastic.

Or, perhaps the elastic has gotten too lash, so they slip out from below and ride up the sides?

I don’t have a proper solution for washing and drying, except putting them in a washing bag so they don’t eat all the other laundry.

I do latch them below the corners. I have a foam mattress topper, so fitted sheets just fit around the mattress. As a result, there isn’t a lot of extra material to go under the mattress.

I learned these straps exist. Going to give it a shot.

This is your core problem. They need to fit a good ways past the edge. You need a ‘deeper’ fitted sheet.

Have you tried flat sheets rather than fitted?

mr_robot2938 OP ,

Always fitted. I think that’s my problem.

there trick is to pull the elastic down far enough so it reaches over the bottom edge of the mattress.

forget folding it neatly. you can adult without that skill

Also depends on the sheet. I have one that always pops off no matter how well I secure it on the corners.
