Why don't today's fitted sheets stay in place? I have fitted sheets from 1976 that still have their elasticity. Today's manufacturers charge a pretty penny for high thread count sheets, but I wake up in the morning wrapped up like I went to a toga party!! What is the deal?
The poor grade of elastic used in today's bedding is sub-par compared to American manufactured goods made back in the day. FYI - using bleach deteriorates the integrity of the rubber in the elastic.
Do I eat this week or buy another set of sheets? Never fear, food will be on the table and you will no longer "wear" your sheets while sleeping.
I suggest you or a trusted seamstress add a fresh stretch of elastic around the perimeter of your beloved fitted sheets. Sweet sleep with your newly fitted sheets!
