You can now buy disposable sheets so you don’t have to do your laundry

If you hate nothing more than spending your Sunday wrestling with mounds of unwashed bedsheets, then a new line of linens may be just the lazy invention for you.

Boston-based startup Beantown Bedding is offering disposable bed sheets that are meant to be thrown away after just a few weeks of use.

The “laundry-free linens” were created to help university students avoid doing their washing without having to make a trip back home, but can also be purchased in double and king sizes, so lazy Londoners can enjoy the novelty of easy-access fresh sheets too.

Rather than feeling scratchy or uncomfortable, the bed sheets are made out of Tencel, a fiber made from organic compounds found in eucalyptus. It's soft, breathable, and less prone to wrinkles than cotton - according to its makers.

And if you’re wondering what effect all these excess sheets will have on the environment, the good news is that Beantown Bedding’s sheets are biodegradable, meaning that you don’t have to worry that your lazy ways are destroying the planet.

The company says that while students will love its invention, the disposable sheets also ideal for camping, travel, holiday homes and Airbnbs.

If this lazy life hack appeals to you, you’ll be pleased to know that you can buy the sheets by signing up to a subscription service, where you’ll automatically get fresh sheets every few weeks for $14.99 (£11.32) - so you don’t even have to leave your house to buy them.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to cut out the annoyance of having to put the sheets back onto the bed, but at least you can save time on waiting for the washing machine to finish.
