We have a rear corner bed and as everyone knows, making the bed w/mattress pad and fitted sheet requires a bit of finesse. The 3" memory foam topper only makes matters worse.
After our first long trip where the corners of our fitted sheet kept popping off up by our heads, I decided two things: First, I needed new deeper sheets as I was repurposing old sheets from who knows when and the fitted sheet wasn't as deep as modern sheets. Second, I decided to use the new fitted sheet as a sort of secondary mattress pad.
I put the mattress pad on, then the fitted sheet, and used the top sheet like making a hospital bed (i.e. tucked it around the sides so we will sleep ON it, not UNDER it. We have a different (extra from the house) top sheet that will be used instead. Now to wash the sheets I only have to strip the "hospital" sheet layer, which is much easier to get on and off, and I can deal with the fitted sheet with the same frequency as the mattress pad - less often.
We love our corner bed, and I think this is going to help us love it even more!
