A little over four years ago Hubby Tony and I upgraded to a queen sized mattress. Since that time I've made the bed using the original sheets purchased at a thrift store (percale in the warm weather, and flannel when it turned cold). As you might imagine, they were getting a little threadbare.
This spring I invested in some lovely pima cotton sheets, which are soft, smooth, and luxurious. And as an added bonus, there are tags inside the fitted sheet that say "Long Side" and "Short Side" which help immensely when putting it on the bed. No more guessing which side goes where.
I hope I can find something similar when it's time to get a new set of flannels this fall.

Long Side/Short Side is an idea that's long overdue. Hopefully, all sheet manufacturers will follow suit.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice?
DeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteWell done. Our kids were here and asked for new pillows! I should have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteNew pillows are nice to have.
DeleteI find the tag. It's usually at the bottom right when you're at the foot of the bed. It still would be nice to have long and short tags. But I would still have to find them.
ReplyDeleteThis way there are two things to look for, and I only have to find one.
DeleteSimple, yet brilliant idea. They should all come this way.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteI use flanel in cold weather ( luckily, winter is short). During the rest of the year, I use indian cotton (sheets and covers). It's airy fabric and hardly needs any ironing.
ReplyDeleteThe bedding stores here have quite a few types of cotton, but no Indian.
DeleteI have never made a bed. Not good at carpentry.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
HA!
DeleteThat's luxurious. The tags I mean. Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteOh! They are a dream come true! Why doesn't every sheet manufacturer do that?
