I just had a wrestling match with my mattress pad. It’s thick, quilted and king size. The top and bottom edges are elastic to hold onto my over-stuffed, 15″ deep, pillow top mattress. It was late and I was tired. I stretched the elastic over one corner of the mattress and moved to the next corner. As soon as I touched the mattress cover, the first corner popped off. My cat, Cookie, just sat on the bare mattress watching me try over and over again to hold down the first corner as I stretched the pad to reach the second corner. After several attempts, I knew I needed to find another way. Then, it dawned on me … I needed to stretch the mattress pad diagonal to the first corner. That would keep tension on the first corner and hold it in place. It worked! Then, it was easy to do the other two corners. So, there’s the secret to replacing a mattress pad on a king size bed when you have to do it alone.
First let me say that I have a cat like that too. She’ll just watch me struggle and I KNOW she’s laughing at me. But what a great tip! I never would’ve thought of that. I just say some choice words and scare it into place. lol
Kathy, why is it that cats always seem to be in control? You’re welcome for the tip. It took me a long time to figure it out.
