Question on bed sheets

173371 on Aug 06, 2013Sheets are rectangular although with king size ones it can be hard to tell. Usually, the grain goes up and down, from the foot to the head.Helpful Reply

Shari on Aug 06, 2013I don't know if this is standard with all sheets but generally I find there is a manufacturer's tag sewn into one inside corner of the fitted bottom sheet. I have a king sized bed and, more often than not, it seems that when that tag is placed on the upper left corner of the mattress or the bottom right corner (when standing at the foot of the bed), the sheet fits correctly. When I'm putting clean sheets on the bed, I just rotate the sheet until I find the tag and make the tag/upper left corner my starting point.Helpful Reply

Marlena on Aug 07, 2013@Sia@South 47th LMAO! That's what I do.. I get irritated and keep rotating until it makes sense! You could make the correct corner with a colored sharpie.Helpful Reply

Sia@South 47th on Aug 07, 2013@Marlena What a GREAT idea, using the sharpie!! Or even maybe sewing a little loop or doodad or small button into the head part, that's inconspicuous.!!Helpful Reply

Candy J on Aug 07, 2013I just dont feel like rotating and rotating each time I am changing the beds. Got to be an easy answer. I wonder if any manufacturers would chime in?Helpful Reply

Diane Rich on Aug 07, 2013Like Shari, I use the tag to always go on a top corner or bottom corner. This issue used to drive me nuts!Helpful Reply

Linda Stone on Aug 07, 2013I "measure" by holding end up right in front of my nose, extending arm straight out to the side. Measure how many of these I have, rotate once, measure again. Simple and you don't have to try to put the sheet on and pull off over and over again. Very irritating, especially if bed is up against a wall!Helpful Reply

Norma Boyd on Aug 09, 2013I rotate my bottom sheet to even the wear so the sheet will last longer. If you continually use the same way you put it on the bed every time then you will have certain spots that will wear more and the sheets last less as long.Helpful Reply

Answerguy on Aug 31, 2013"Comfy-Snug" drawstring fitted sheets have the cord lock at the side so there's no wondering. These sheets stay putbetter than any other sheet with no need for suspenders or clips. They aretight and smooth all the time and self adjust to the mattress thickness. Thereis nothing more comfortable that nice smooth sheets. It's like the first timegetting in bed with new sheets. You just slide right in. Drawstring sheets giveyou that just made feeling night after night. www.drawstringsheet.comHelpful Reply
