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. |

I suppose the best place for variations on this theme would be on the idea, itself, so I'll just append what's different about the version I once thought up, here. |

Why wait for your sheets to ripen in odour or get grodey-to-the-max? (Like barf out! Gag me with a spewn!) A motorised version (to which this post has a link) could advance your sheet roll maybe 30 cm (so I can add, "about a foot") a day. That way, as far as your head was concerned, you'd have clean sheets every night. Your feet would think you had the smelliest bed in town, it's true, but that would make them as happy as all the lavender made your nose up the other end. |

My version had velcro-ended sheet sections somewhat longer than traditional sheets (sized optimally for a washing machine, rather than for a bed). The idea was to manually velcro on a roll of sheeting in the feeder hopper whenever tearing off a section from the used sheet locker at the foot of the bed. I prefer the serviced roll of sheeting version, but sections might be nice for a home washed version. |

I don't think any of the other variations I had are of any real interest. I'll update if I remember or come up with something that is. |

Really, the only half-baked aspect of this idea, to my mind, is commercial viability. But see the link. |
