Making a messy bed, not a new clean sheet bed from scratch, would be so much easier if pulling up the flat sheet didn't pull it out from being neatly tucked under the mattress. So, how about a half flat, half fitted sheet: fitted on the footboard end, and flat on the headboard end... instead of having to remake your mothers hospital corners each morning, all you'd have to do is pull the sheet at the top until it was tight...
I've had this idea for YEARS... my husband laughs at me and says it's weird... but doesn't it make sense. It'd save so much time!
Let me know what you think... if it was available, would you buy it?

A fitted sheet makes a very tight fit to the mattress. A top sheet should be loose enough to accommodate a body between the two sheets. Perhaps this could be worked out with a special fold at the foot of the bed but a tight fit on the top sheet would make an uncomfortable fit on the person's feet.
I think this is a fairly good idea. I once had a set of sheets in which the top sheet and fitted sheet were permanently sewn together along the bottom edge. It worked okay, but the top sheet was only as long as the fitted sheet. I think it would be better if the top sheet was at least a foot or so longer than the fitted sheet. That would eliminate the problem of it being too tight on your feet.
I must admit that I would probably not buy this though. On hot nights, I like to pull the sheet up so my feet are exposed. It keeps me cooler while still giving me the feeling of security by having my body covered.
