Making the bed [Foxes in Love]

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting on the opposite ends of a mattress, with a scrungled-up fitted sheet resting on top of the mattress between them. The foxes look at each other, full of confidence.
Green: Ready to tackle putting on the fitted sheet?
Blue: Yep!

Blue and Green begin to struggle with the sheet, stretching it over the mattress.
Blue: Is it still on right?
Green: No! The left corner escaped!

After great painstaking efforts, the foxes succeed. Standing on the opposite sides of the now sheet-covered mattress, they admire the fruits of their hard work.
Green: Phew! Finally!

The foxes draw back in surprise as the mattress suddenly gives in under the strain of the bedsheet, folding nearly in half into a banana shape, as the corners of the mattress are pulled up by the corners of the sheet.

Putting it on the bed is easy it is folding it that is the trick.

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.

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.

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.

It's actually not a coincidence! It's sort of an unofficial (AFAIK) standard to put the tag 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).

merde alors

which brand? Where did you get them?

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.

I found wrapping paper with a lightly dotted grid on the back. So incredibly useful! Whoever came up with that has my eternal gratitude.

Nice! That's definitely good to know

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.

Flat sheets crew represent

Yeah apparently my sheet is a switch

Putting them back on the bed is easy; it's folding them for later that's black magic fuckery

Mine actually tells you on the tag itself.

Beds should just be square.

Funny, mine are at the top left corner.

What? people fold them?

I store mine as a big ball in a dedicated bin.
