When Mother Eco was a child, there was no such thing as fitted sheets, just flat sheets that were carefully tucked with hospital corners to make the bottom sheet smooth for sleeping. She tells me that in her house every Monday morning, the beds would be remade with clean sheets. But they didn’t wash all of the sheets - what they would do is take the top sheet and put it on the bottom and put on a new clean top sheet.
