I recently bought a new set of sheets from Costco and decided to put them on the bed.  I'm always frustrated just trying to figure out what's the bottom, top and sides of the sheets.  Always end up putting the top or bottom where the sides go and the sides where the top or bottom go.  Then I have to start over again.  These sheets have tabs on the elastic that tell you "top or bottom", and sides.  No more frustration until I change the sheets to put fresh ones on the bed.  Why can't others sheets have the same tabs.  Maybe they do and I'm just not aware. Time to buy more.

Target Threshold sheets are marked the same way

Rule of thumb, most bed sheets have a tab/label that is suppose to go on the bottom right corner of the mattress. But, labeling Top or Bottom is a great idea as well.

Usually the tag goes on the left-foot-side of the mattress. That's how mine are anyway.

i have none yet that came pre marked.

when i get a new set i add a tiny safty pin to the inside corner elastic seam on the left corner.

my mom would add a couple of contrasting stitches in that same area.   she had it color coded by bed size.

What a great idea!

Northern Nights has those tags too.

Vera Wang sheets from Kohl's have side/top tags too.

Last night I was looking at the Costco Savings book that they send out, and that's one of the items that I marked to pick up, sheets that are on sale for a wonderful price.

I am hoping these are the same ones that you purchased with the tags, what a wonderful idea. I plan on going to the store after I return from vacation next month since this books is from June 22-July 24th.

I hope they are still available.

My fitted sheets are marked and all my top sheets have wider hems for the head of the bed.

Some of my heavy quilts are not easy to figure out -  I should mark them!
