Sometimes, something comes along that makes you wonder why it hasn’t been done before, I know it might not be up there with real world problems, but equally changing the bed becomes an issue in our house because neither of us want to take on the challenge or battling with the sheets. I had never considered how awkward it is until the QuickZip arrived at work, the bed in our master bedroom has a lip around the edge of the base which means I regularly bruise my knuckles lifting up the corners to attach the fitted sheet, the spare bed is even more difficult as it is pressed up against the wall on one side I tend to lift the entire side of the mattress and squeeze myself between the wall and mattress whilst balancing on the slats on the base of the bed, probably not the safest option. QuickZip have taken convenience to the next level by creating the patented base that fits securely around the mattress and stays there, the top of the sheet can then simply and quickly be zipped on and off meaning you don’t have to lift the mattress at all, mattresses can be very heavy and there are plenty of people out there who will benefit from not having to lift it on a regular basis.
With a variety of sizes available you can find a sheet to fit for Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King, Twin XL Dorm and RV Queen and for mattresses measuring 75"X39" and up to 11" deep, as well as a range for cots and cribs, they all come with a 400 thread count and 100% cotton sateen for a soft finish. You can purchase them individually or get starter packs, we received the King Size zip on sheet and will be looking at the adult size collection in more detail, sadly there are only two colours to currently choose from, White or Warm Grey and no other materials that are available. The elasticated corners on the base piece reach far underneath the mattress and hold the entire sheet firmly in place, there is a strip of fabric that covers the zip keeping it out of sight and preventing it coming into contact with your skin if you are still on the edge of the bed. The zip is attached at the corner so you can easily locate where to begin, there is a large pull ribbon for easy handling, the cotton is pre shrunk and the zip is plastic which means it is safe to machine wash, and because the top sheet doesn’t have elasticated corners it makes them easy to fold and hang on the line to dry - this gets me more excited than it should but I’m ok with that. The QuickZip set up is an excellent idea, it makes changing the bed a breeze, however you will be committed to only purchasing QuickZip sheets and the limited range and high price tag may put some people off, however I will definitely consider using these, maybe just in the spare room for now. RRP $80
