R.I.P. the Flat Sheet?

[AllyRose]

I worry for the future. The proper way to make a bed is mattress, mattress cover, fitted sheet (although I will concede to the use of a properly tucked in flat sheet), top sheet (flat for the purposes of this thread), warm cover - blanket, duvet, dogs, whatever floats your boat. Flat sheets are what separate us from the wolves. Not everyone can have an opposable thumb, but everyone can use the top sheet. Monsters.

I thought it went...

1. Mattress
   
2. Mattress cover
   
3. Fitted Sheet
   
4. Boyfriend's Hoodie
   
5. Flat Sheet
   
6. Blanket
   
7. Pet

I see that like me you prefer to keep the thermostat at just above frozen pipes.

I stand corrected, ... fitted sheet, boyfriend's hoodie/toque/slippers/sweater/extra pjs, flat sheet...

The toque has to have those tassels on the bottom as well.

I have looked for my hoodie everywhere.

 

[Generic_chick]

I have looked for my hoodie everywhere.

Not everywhere.

 

[Saint Peter]

Not everywhere.

Everywhere.

 

[Generic_chick]

Everywhere.

I guess it's lost then.

 

[Saint Peter]

I guess it's lost then.

It's all good.

I have others.

 

[silver gurl]

I would feel naked without the flat sheet.

 

[AllyRose]

It's all good.

I have others.

Not anymore.

 

[Saint Peter]

Not anymore.

I am nothing without my hoods.

 

[trysail]

Is the flat sheet becoming extinct?

Are people still using it?

Hellfire and damnation!

So, praying at the alter of Bill Belichick.

I would rather chop my junk off with a rusty fork.

I sleep on a flat sheet. Really not sure what happened to the fitted sheet that matches it. Yah, it's a pain and bunches up at times.

I actually hope they don’t go extinct because I use them for couch covers *

Definitely not into using them for their intended purpose. Strikes me as pointless.

I love the flat sheet on top. Sometimes I get hot at night and I will push the comforter back and use the sheet. Plus, the real purpose of the sheet is to keep your comforter/blanket clean longer. Its easy to just throw a sheet in the washing machine. I agree with Generic chick, this what separates us from animals!!

 

[tiny_tits]

Anybody else have a large fluffy pillow they keep under the top sheet to hug at night when alone, or am I just weird?

 

[CandiCame]

I don't know what a mattress cover is.

 

[Sweet_Lara]

Happy to report since I posted last I have new sheets and once again have a fitted and flat sheet on the bed.

About an hour ago my wife came running in excitedly telling me she had found a shop selling flat sheets.

I think I've found my soul mate.

Also, if you don't have a top sheet, you have to wash the duvet cover every week (or two), which means putting a whole new cover on it. It's much easier to wash the sheets. And washing your duvet cover lots wears it out - I search high and low for the duvet covers I like. They need to last.

 

[Sweet_Lara]

And white sheets are the absolute best.
