Why is it that ONLY my bottom sheet on my bed goes bubbly, yet everyone elses doesnt. It doesnt matter where I buy them from. They also don't fit tightly to the mattress which REALLY bugs me!! lol I know this is really sad but I do have slight OCD when it comes to beds!! Everone else's bottom sheets seem so tight!

Hey, my sheets bubble too!
Most sheets these days are considered deep pocket...meaning they fit over "tall" mattresses, or those stacked with a lot of floof on top of the mattress....feather bed, memory foam, quilted mattress pad, extra bedding.
Your mattress may not be as tall as the sheet is made to accomodate and it would just be a little baggy. You can fill it out with something underneath, causing the sheet to be tight on top...the most logical no cost solution would be to store extra blankets and such on top of your mattress and make your bed on top of it. This is easy storage. But it may be a princess and the pea situation, as in uncomfortable. And don't do it if you are a princess with a pee problem either. You'd be washing blankets all damn day.
You can also dispense with fitted sheets altogether. What you do is buy 2 flat sheets. One is the size of your bed, and the other is one size larger than your bed. The larger one is for the bottom, lay it out centered over your bed, then make hospital corners all the way around, tucking them exactly as tight as they need to be. IF your mattress is heavy and sturdy and stays put, the sheet will stay. If your mattress is slidy and floppy...then it won't. I move my mattress everyday about 6 inches from the wall, just by leaning up against the wall to watch tv. So this solution wouldn't work for me.

Mine do the same thing! Even my daughter's twin size sheets are too big for her bed... those sheet people need to learn that not everyone has a 3 foot thick mattress lol.

Try buying some sheet clips from the store. Some even come with elastic attached to them so you can adjust the size of your sheets so they fit tighter. Also make sure that you aren't buying sheets made for deep pocket mattresses- they have a much bigger seam allowance.

IF it's really fashionable i think it looks sophisticated! just remember to wear a belt or something and it has to be like those srsly fashionable, loose tops. Baggy jeans, not so much

IF YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC BLANKET ON THE BED THAT MIGHT BE YOUR PROBLEM
