A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting on the opposite ends of a mattress, with a scrungled-up fitted sheet resting on top of the mattress between them. The foxes look at each other, full of confidence. Green: Ready to tackle putting on the fitted sheet? Blue: Yep!

Blue and Green begin to struggle with the sheet, stretching it over the mattress. Blue: Is it still on right? Green: No! The left corner escaped!

After great painstaking efforts, the foxes succeed. Standing on the opposite sides of the now sheet-covered mattress, they admire the fruits of their hard work. Green: Phew! Finally!

The foxes draw back in surprise as the mattress suddenly gives in under the strain of the bedsheet, folding nearly in half into a banana shape, as the corners of the mattress are pulled up by the corners of the sheet.

I truly wish sheet makers would just mark the long and/or short sides. It can't be difficult to incorporate and it'd be an awesome QOL feature. I'd buy a brand that did that.

Edit: apparently many brands do do this and I'm not observant. Thanks for the tips everyone!

It may just be coincidence that this works for all of my sheets, but I always put the tag at the bottom right corner and it works every time.

It's actually not a coincidence! It's sort of an unofficial (AFAIK) standard to put the tag (washing instructions etc) on the bottom right corner.

Just like how they always put tags on the inner left side of your shirt (which helps tremendously with plain shirts).

Nice! That's definitely good to know

Mine actually tells you on the tag itself.

Funny, mine are at the top left corner.
