Got sick and tired of the stinkin' fitted sheet popping off the corner

[Reverend Conehead]

I got a new queen-size bed after the old one was super kaput and hurting my back. Very nice bed from a local company here in Omaha. I went ahead and got a nice new fitted sheet for it, you know the kind that has elastic corners and you put it on before the main sheet. Well, now all the bleepin' time a corner keeps popping off, and then of course that one place not covered is where the cat decides she wants to sleep. I can just be getting up at night to take a leak and one of the dumb corners pops off.

So I went on Youtube looking for a hack to make this stop happening. One dude got a couple of hooks and some twine from the hardware store, and he would hook the upper left corner and attach that to the twine and then run it under the mattress to the lower right one and then make sure the twine was holding those criss-crossed corners tightly. Then he would do the other criss-crossed corners. Ingenious and inexpensive, pretty cool hack. A woman had a different hack. On the fitted sheet itself, she sewed a piece of elastic at an angle in one corner to hold it in place so that the sheet's own elastic wasn't the only thing holding it in place. Also a pretty cool hack. Problem is I suck at sewing.

I finally decided to invest in a product that purports to solve the problem. There were a lot of choices. One of them has a cord go around the entire mattress tightly and then has clips to clip the sheet onto it. But I went for a different one similar to the hack that the dude did. This one was a set of straps that you would attach to one corner with clips and then send under the mattress to the criss-cross corner, also attaching that with clips, and you can adjust how tight the strap is. Then you use another strap on the other criss-crossed corners. I'm confident this will work. The thing got good reviews on Amazon, and it wasn't that expensive.

I'll let y'all know if it works well or sucks. I'm excellent at the housekeeping thing. My home is so tidy and organized it could be featured in Better Homes and Gardens. (And if you believe that, I've got a slightly used moped to sell you.)

Now if this aching back from sleeping on the old crappy bed would just heal up. I also ordered off for one of those round yoga wheel thingies that you can lie on to stretch out your back and hopefully make it feel better. God, I hope that helps. I've had bad back pain for several weeks straight now. I should have replaced the crappy bed long before I did. This yoga wheel ting is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Hope it helps. Back pain sucks.

I bet Amber Heard could have sewn something for you.

The first issue is you have a cat sleeping in the bed with you. Gross

She is the one pulling the sheets out when he is sleeping.
The ends this woman will go to spread evil knows no bounds.

How is she getting in? Do you think she has fashioned a replica door key from Johnny Depp's lustrous hair?

I think he has a pet door so his cat can go in and out as it pleases.
Amber is skinny enough and has pliable evil energy to fit through it.

I must be losing my mind. I didn't even consider the possibility that it was Amber Heard, but you guys are right. This has to be her work. Thanks for keeping me sane.

bed troll.
lives under there and waits til you leave or falls asleep then pulls up the corner.
little !@#$%^&*.

If you are a back sleeper, you need to put support under your knees and get your thighs up to at least a 30 degree angle and that relieves pressure and stress on your lower spine. I ordered this king size, really over sized, pillow from Pluto and it's perfect.

I used to have an inversion table that helped but when I became single, had to get rid of it. You need a spotter to keep an eye on you when you use that and I'd be worried that while you were hanging like a bat, Amber would sneak up on you.

Get yourself an inexpensive massage table, I got one on Amazon <100, and do some exercises for your hammies and lower back. I have tight hammies and the stretching really works. I had a hip replacement and got rehab and part of that was these back exercises I can do at home and it works.

I also went through the Kama Sutra book and put in big red letters DO NOT TRY THIS and can send you the list. Hopefully, Amber will not have already circled these.

I bought London Fog sheets from Sam's that are pretty wonderful. It sounds like you need a deeper fitted sheet. The fitted sheets are deep (I have 3 sets). They're soft, comforting and cost I believe $25 for a queen size. I think they're the cheapest sheets they sell. Don't judge them by the price, they're good sheets. Also, they come with an Amber Heard warning.

For your back along with what Coach said, maybe try some orthopedic shoes. Lastly, for Pete's sake fix the cat door!

I had almost forgotten about Amber Heard, but thanks to all these posts, I'm reminded I have to worry about her and be vigilant. I think my back pain has been caused by here. She snuck in here at night and poked needles with poison into my back. That *****. I'll get her.

Dat sheet sounds like a WM Sheet. A good fitted sheet is deeper and easily covers the mattress even those thick expensive ones. Sounds like a Wallyworld rubbish imported sheet to me.

Im with you on this. Every.damn.day.

Not gross! I use my cat for a pillow.

 

[Creeper]

You can buy deep fitted sheets for taller mattresses. They work great and you don't have to rig up some kind of strangulation device to get them to stay on your mattress corners.

My cat runs the household. She's actually a reincarnated Egyptian pharaoh who knows the deepest secrets of the universe. I've been communicating with her via telepathy to learn all the dark secrets. It's how I first learned how evil Amber Heard is.

The cat might explain why the sheets stink so bad.

ps, I suffered from the same corner popping problem and the back pain problem. Didn't have the stinking sheet problem, not too bad anyways. A set of sheets fitted with longer flaps cured the corner popping and a few specific stretches cured my back troubles.

No joke, I've been stretching and reaching and riding yoga balls and whatever other contraption I came across for years and finally, after a really bad stretch I ended up at a physical therapist and he changed my life.
