I truly wish sheet makers would just mark the long and/or short sides. It can't be difficult to incorporate and it'd be an awesome QOL feature. I'd buy a brand that did that.
Edit: apparently many brands do do this and I'm not observant. Thanks for the tips everyone!
It may just be coincidence that this works for all of my sheets, but I always put the tag at the bottom right corner and it works every time.
It's actually not a coincidence! It's sort of an unofficial (AFAIK) standard to put the tag (washing instructions etc) on the bottom right corner.
Just like how they always put tags on the inner left side of your shirt (which helps tremendously with plain shirts).
Nice! That's definitely good to know
Mine actually tells you on the tag itself.
Funny, mine are at the top left corner.
Monkeys paw curls.....
You get a sheet set that does exactly this, but the quality is so bad that it always feels like there's crumbs in the bed even though there aren't.
....all of the fitted sheets I get have this. It says something like "head" on 2 small tags.
One of my fitted sheets (The Big One brand I think) has a little tag on the shorter side that reads "TOP OR BOTTOM", super handy
Oh, I thought that was just a really inappropriate question. I'm always top, and the sheet is always bottom anyway.
Yeah apparently my sheet is a switch
which brand? Where did you get them?
Target. You could probably just use a sharpie and mark the ends on the inside of the elastic
My wife did this. I thought the sharpie would come off in the wash, but last time I looked, it was still there.
Beds should just be square.
I found wrapping paper with a lightly dotted grid on the back. So incredibly useful! Whoever came up with that has my eternal gratitude.
It feels like I've noticed more and more wrapping paper brands doing this over the last few years and it really is super helpful.
Putting them back on the bed is easy; it's folding them for later that's black magic fuckery
What? people fold them?
I store mine as a big ball in a dedicated bin.
Storing? They're on the bed or in the washing machine.
You only have 1 sheet?
Yes?
Sometimes I was too lazy to finish my laundry today, but now I need bedding... Take out the spare sheet and suffer re-folding the one that's in the washing, tomorrow.
There is actually a very good technique for it, but I keep forgetting it, or messing it up
Here's what I do:
Fitted sheet, other sheet, and one pillow case all get stored inside the other pillow case, none folded.
I swear I've seen the exact same YouTube video tutorial on how to fold them multiple times, incorporated it into my routine, only to forget the technique entirely within a day or two.
It is almost as if a wizard is preventing us from remembering this skill. what does it meeeaaan
Putting it on the bed is easy it is folding it that is the trick.
Flat sheets crew represent
Fitted sheets are a sign of civilisation's hubris.
Pro Tip: put the sheet on opposite corners first. Bottom left corner, then top right corner
This keeps tension on the sheet and prevents it from slipping off while you're finishing the other 2 corners
