Using these fitted sheets is a breeze. Just place the sheet over your half - queen bed, aligning it properly. Thanks to the tags on each side, you can easily figure out the correct orientation. For a great night's sleep, make sure the sheet is snugly fitted around the mattress. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent. You can wash them in cold or warm water, but avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low - heat setting. This will help maintain the quality and durability of the sheets. With proper care, these sheets will last you a long time and keep providing you with a comfortable sleep environment.
