No fitted sheet on bed

[FSU Girl]

I'm at the Royal Pacifc right now and noticed that there isn't a fitted sheet on our bed, but there are three normal sheets. Is this normal?

Yes and....
GO NOLES!

Most hotels have gone away from using fitted sheets. Instead they tight tuck a flat sheet. It cuts down on space because flat sheets fold flatter and makes inventory easier to manage because there is only 1 type of sheet.

Yep, and I hate it. We were in 2 different hotels in Gatlinburg last month and they both had this. One of them worked ok, the other was not big enough and it wouldn't stay tucked for anything.

I can probably count on one hand the number of hotels I have stayed at that do use fitted sheets. Almost all just use flat sheets.

Yep! what really drives me are the ones who no longer use a top sheet! Just a bottom sheet and a comforter/duvet!

Yuck! I'd hate that. I only sleep under a sheet. Comforter/duvet would be too hot

Executed properly, a flat sheet has a better fit than 'fitted one'.

Upscale properties are trending to triple sheeting method = bottom sheet, then sandwiching blanket between two top sheets; with optional bed scarf vs a comforter/duvet (that you know isn't washed with each guest...good riddance!)
