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.

Keep it from riding up by buying an extra size bigger (sheet should be 1 size bigger than bed).

Washing it with other stuff is fine, but don't dry it with the rest of the load. Hang it to dry somewhat while drying the rest of the load (I drape ours over our dining room chairs), then once the rest of the load is done drying, dry the fitted sheet by itself.

Have you tried flat sheets rather than fitted?

Always fitted. I think that’s my problem.

I don't. I have a comfortable bed cover that I never remove for sleeping and put my sleeping blankets on top. No fiddling with any damn sheets unless it's laundry day and my bed always looks like it's made if I fold the top blankets aside.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
