My 600-Lb. Life patients sometimes have difficulty with tasks

Many patients featured on My 600-Lb. Life admit that they have trouble completing everyday tasks. So it’s not unfathomable that many wouldn’t be able to stretch a fitted sheet over a mattress. But even so, one Redditor brought it up in a discussion thread online.

“Why the lack of fitted sheets on mattresses?” the original Reddit user asked. “My wife and I have pretty much seen every episode and we’ve noticed that more often than not the patients’ mattresses at home are always uncovered. Is this a thing in the US? We’re in the UK and find it super weird.”

Fitted sheets are typically the norm here in the United States as well, but not everyone can manage them. And that’s precisely what a few Redditors pointed out.

“I developed a fungal lung infection back in March, which totally sapped my energy, and I still struggle to put on a fitted mattress pad and sheet without exhausting myself, even though I can pretty much do everything else. Putting one on your bed at 600 lbs is seemingly impossible,” someone replied to the OP. Others chimed in and said that fitted sheets have an awkward shape and often make it difficult to stretch across the bed without help.

“Precisely correct,” another user added. “We take it for granted but I know I personally never look forward to the workout I’m about to get when putting on a fitted sheet.”
