Bed Sheet "Dispenser"
Why replace the bed sheets when you can just roll out a fresh section.

I got this idea while at a public bathroom. They had one of those towel devices to dry your hands. You know the ones - they are actually one long towel that only allows you to access a loop at a time. Well - why couldn't you supersize the device as a replacement for your bedsheets! You would actually need 2 - one device attaches at the head and foot of the bed with the sheet in-between - this is the bottom sheet. The top sheet is like the towel dispenser - it stays at the foot of the bed and you lay under a "loop" of the fabric. Whenever the sheets get skuzzy - you just unroll a new section. When the rolls are done, you bring them into a special cleaning service - they clean them really cheaply since they just run the whole roll through a cleaning machine, like film through a projector!

       Thanks for the link Po - kinda baked - but I still like the whole giant hand towel idea which is slightly different. If for no practical reason, only to amuse myself.

       Seems redundant to the linked idea, to me.

       jutta mfd'd it but anno now gone!

       As the author writes, this one has a mechanism that requires a manual pull, like a towel dispenser; whereas the linked-to idea uses a motor. That's why I deleted my deletion tag.
