I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invention of elastic.

@stonebear2 Yeah, I've got queen size sheets, so this is an absolute game-changer.

@EnfysBook @stonebear2 how many corners is this in because it may still be a game of find the damn label

[oddhack@mstdn.social]

@EnfysBook I've been trying for 4 months to get a 230x240 cm blanket that's actually sized to my mattress, instead of the 240x270 that drapes to the floor and confuses poor Xiulan, the robovac.

(1) Amazon.es search for '230x240 cm blanket' and anything similar returns about 100x as many completely incorrectly sized products as what I specifically asked for. Their search took another precipitous dive into the Abyss after "AI".

@EnfysBook (2) The one company with a suitable size product cannot manage to ship it without literal weeks of delay, or answer the specific questions I send them about the shipment, or find my address once they finally do. But somebody in Sevilla, 400 km away in a different country, apparently has a nice new blanket now. 6 weeks in after the second order failed because the shipping company could not find my address (down to the building by zip code) or contact me to ask about it, I gave up.

@EnfysBook I'm in the market for some new sheets, who makes these beauties?

[enfysbook@kind.social]

@cat @stonebear2 All four!

@blake Bambaw.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@EnfysBook OMG, this is truly revolutionary!

Is the world even ready for this?

[phwolfe@scicomm.xyz]

@EnfysBook WANT SO BADLY

[enfysbook@kind.social]

This post has officially breached containment, so I'm muting replies at this point. Glad to bring some revolutionary joy into y'all's lives.

[stonebear2@hachyderm.io]

@EnfysBook @cat Assignment, understood!

[nowster@fedi.nowster.me.uk]

@EnfysBook@kind.social Now if there were a way of neatly folding them...

[rmd1023@infosec.exchange]

@EnfysBook @jon Okay that’s even cooler than the “top/bottom” tags in the middle of the short sides.

[iris@neuromatch.social]

@EnfysBook PSA, you can just add these labels your own sheets with permanent fabric markers (you might have the best luck finding "laundry markers")! If they don't have the elastic part, you can hand-stitch the world's sloppiest beginner stitches to add some flat elastic and it will still look perfect once it's on the bed.

@EnfysBook

Heh, congrats on viral!

I can even see an improvement: pictogram so it is translingual. (I would also widen the elastic a bit for longevity.)

And for everyone not producing this as a business: you can do this at home for yourself with some elastic and a sharpie.

[innowen@wellduck.me]

@EnfysBook Right?!? sooo easy

[templewulf@gamemaking.social]

@EnfysBook removing mattress tags are whatever, make this required to be on every fitted sheet!

[corycarson@social.seattle.wa.us]

@EnfysBook Have y'all seen the best incarnation of this?

TOP OR BOTTOM, QUEEN

[coriander@elekk.xyz]

@EnfysBook I have a set of sheets with a similar tag sewn in and I was THRILLED when I saw it for the first time

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@EnfysBook This is a great advancement indeed, but elastic is the devil’s work.
