New Throwaway / Peel-Away Bed Sheets

Side Note:  I originally wrote this post 11 months ago, February 21, 2014, on another blogging site.

Yes folks, there is a new product line coming out for the lazy, oops, I mean for the ones that can't be bothered with washing their bed sheets. It is a 7-layer throwaway product, better described as the peel-away sheets.  It starts off by saying, "What if you never had to wash your bed sheets again?" The "Just peel off the ew and sleep in the new" is the tag line of AfreSHeet.

I wouldn't hardly call this an invention, but they seem to think that the hassle of changing your bed sheets is especially troublesome for college students, etc. These particular throwaway fabric sheets have a waterproof coating to preserve underneath layers, and they did mention that the material is recyclable. Ha! I really wonder how many people are going to rush to the nearest recycling bin after they get done peeling off a new layer?

Some people may think this is a fantastic idea, but I just don't get it. Washing the sheets on your bed isn't like some daunting task. The washer and dryer does most of the work, and all you do is pull 'em off and then put them back on after they dry. Is the traditional method too much work? With this new peel-away product, you can be lazy 7 consecutive times before having to buy more throwaway bed sheets. Wow! The only break-through I see here is the marketing savvy; promote laziness and make big financial gains from it! It just seems like a bad idea. Anyway, I would never buy this crap!

Update: I returned to this post a few years later to check for updates. I was going to add a video link from the original product page, but they not only closed the video, it said up above that the "campaign was closed." I wonder if it was simply a failed product? Well, I would think so! There was a comment on the video page (not linked from this post) that recommended that this throwaway product be marketed towards toddlers and little kids as opposed to grown college students. Good idea! In not exact words she roughly implied that it was something about peel-away sheets for a grown man's bed that made them seem a bit sketchy and perhaps come off like a possible man whore? Hmm, I can definitely see it from that angle... Ha-ha!
