Using a Bed Scrunchie takes about 5 minutes the first time you set it up. After that, simply put on your bed sheet as you normally would and the Bed Scrunchie will slide itself under your mattress, without you having to lift the mattress. When you are ready to wash your sheets, remove the sheets + Bed Scrunchie, leave the Bed Scrunchie attached, and throw everything in your machine machine and dryer.
