i use only fitted sheets. and they stay at their place despite the fact that i never sleep in the same position and move all night long. and then my bed is just like those japanese ones, so fitted sheets are aesthetically better :D

I have fitted sheets for the kids beds but my hubby & I use flat.  
My mother bought me heaps of flat white sheets when she saw them on special for my 'glory box', that sounds funny now, do mums do that anymore? They are 100% cotton Actil sheets, the local Actil factory has closed down, but the sheets my mum bought from there are still in use.    Eventually when I need to I'll get some large fitted sheets for our bed because I think they would be easier on a large matteress but I don't have anywhere to put more sheets now.

Sheets? Ye people use sheets? Sheets are for wimps.


Just do what I do and sleep on a bed of nails.


It does wonders for your posture, and other things too.

Since when did a bed of nails become synonymous with rubber sheets, Zippy?

(buckwheat pillows? Who in their right mind needs to know how to make buckwheat pillows?).

You're welcome.

Errr, Japanese people do.  They sometimes use buckwheat pillows.  We were given one once and I tried to use it but it rustled every time I turned my head the least bit.

Maybe you guys need to get a nice egg-crate mattress pad to make the fitted sheets fit better?

thick mattresses, thin mattresses - none of it matters with ye olde flat sheet.  I only make my bed once a week when I do the laundry, you just gotta know how to make the bed properly and it wont come untucked..  

Plus, if you want to be really old-fashioned, it's more environmentally friendly.  See...I learned this from my great aunt.....you remove the bottom sheet and launder it, since this is the sheet that sees the most action. Then you replace it with the top sheet, and use a fresh sheet for the top sheet.  This way you only need to wash one sheet a week, your sheets last longer and you use less water.  You cant do that if you have fitted sheets.

There you go making sense again... stop it, I tell ya!   ;)

Can we go back to this for a second?

I know what a glory hole is, but what the heck is a glory box?

Also, you're supposed to wash sheets?

Just don't try to sleep on one.

I'm guessing a "glory box" is what we used to call a "hope chest".  Maybe.

You can fit a whole pillow in the microwave?

Yes, unless you use disposable sheets.  Or live in a pond.

[Leilani]

Or have plastic sheets - then you just get the garden hose on them every now and again!

[She just wants to be anny]

This is indeed a funny thread! Ilove fitted sheets and sleep on clean one every saturday without fail! Dont really care about folding them neatly but roughly match up the corners and that seems to work :)

Sometimes I think my mattress isn't tall enough for a lot of them..

Mine is too tall, some of the fitted sheets don't tuck under properly.

Um, what 'other things'? and in what way?  ;)

There is a little place, a motor lodge, we stya ay when we go to Williamsburg, VA, and really I'm sorry for breing unfriendly to the environment, but I love it there because they wash their sheets every day, so you get nice fresh sheets  everyday. It's awesome. I live in an apartment so i have no where to hang sheets, although I did when I lived at home with ym mother, nothing smells better.  I can't use flat sheets fo rthe bed, because if you saw what I do  to beds, you'd understand there is no way in hell a flat sheet is gonna stay on. My fitted ones barely do because I toss and turn, and am a serious wrapper.  Chris jsut laughs when he comes hom at ngiht and sees what I've left of the bed inthe morning, and yep, I'm oneof those naughty people who rarely makes my bed either. Jsut closes up all that sweat. Gross!
