not true. there ARE fitted sheets, the difference is the part that covers the bed tends to be quilted/padded, so they are heavier than what we think of as sheets. bedding is more expensive here however so if you have a favorite sheet set from home it's still worth bringing along. |
That's a mattress pad. It's not a sheet. |

I brought my own sheets and I am glad I did. I just wish that I brought a second set because I don't have a dryer. I know you can order flat and fitted sheets online but a lot of the websites require either a Korean to buy the stuff for you or the ability to read Korean. For a new person coming over here, I would recommend bringing what you feel that you need to make yourself comfortable at first. You have lots of time to figure out the ins and outs of buying online here later.
Also, there is a shop called Muji located in the Lotte Mart (second floor) at Seoul station has cotton fitted sheets, cotton pillow cases, cotton duvet covers, and pillows all at a reasonable price. But, they don't have flat sheets. |
The Muji stuff is pretty god, but the prices are reasonable only in comparison with other bedding in SK. |

| I learned something during a month-long hospital stay in Korea. You don't need a fitted sheet for the bottom sheet. Do as the nurses did: spread the bottom sheet over the bed and tie the corners under the bed. It takes almost no time at all and has the added advantage of not being practically impossible to fold like the western fitted sheets with the elastic. When I was discharged from the hospital, I immediately started tying my sheets the way the nurses did. My reaction: "They're geniuses!" |
Hmm. Seems like a good idea. I'm curious how the sheets get tied. Guess I'll google it. I could order another bed sheet in the future. Does it hold well? One thing I liked about the elastic ones is the bottom doesn't wrinkle. |

Just googled it. It's called a Hospital Corner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvYrbeQGjjc
How did the top sheet hold up when you slept on it? Did it stay in place? |
