I've got sheets on my bed. citation needed Besides the fitted sheet, I use two top sheets and they have the same problem: the edges have this annoying tendency to roll over themselves. The sheets are typical: single layer, but folded over once at the edges to prevent fraying, with maybe a 1 cm fold at the sides and foot and a 10 cm fold at the head. What seems to happen is that the folded over piece folds over itself again and again so that my sheets tend to "curl up", shortening or narrowing them. I've taken to ironing them for the past couple of years but it doesn't seem to have helped at all. Besides looking odd, they feel uncomfortable and literally make the bed harder to make. I've got multiple different sets with the same issue, so I assume it's a common occurrence. My first question is: why do they do that? My second question is: how do I fix it (or at least prevent it from happening in the future)? Searching tends to find instructions on how to fold fitted sheets, which is deep magic, but one I've already mastered. Matt Deres ( talk) 15:37, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
