How hard is it to change your sheets and make the bed every morning with the tent on?

Not hard at all. The only part that's difficult at first is folding the tent up. If you go to You Tube and type "folding the pop up tent" you will see a visual that will assist you in folding the pop up tent. Without the visual, it's impossible to fold the tent up at first. The video will show a guy folding the pop up tent on a white sheet. Otherwise it's a great product, especially for young autistic kids who tend to leave their bed often. Hope this helps

Bottom sheet is simple. I bought this for a college student in a room with 3 roommates. She loves the sense of privacy, and simplicity of sleeping in blankets. Room check="hurry, zip it up!" Blankets (rather than conventional sheets & hospital corners on the bed) are smaller therefore easily washed & maintained. An excellent choice for college!

Changing the sheets is easy. You can change them without removing the entire mattress from inside the tent. I don't make my bed every morning...I just zip up the tent so you can't tell if the bed is made or not, plus I have my sleeping bag inside my tent, so there is no need to make the bed.

I had to re-tighten them every morning when I got up and every evening before bed, but my tent was on a very windy plain, so your mileage may vary

My husband says it is doable, but challenging. We can see it being a problem if you are short, especially putting on the rain cover. It is a great tent, though; we love it!

I think it depends on the width of the mattress, but I cannot say that I can do it easily, especially after I washed the cover. It does not fit the mattress perfectly if I don't spend time on stretching it.

You use your own fitted sheet. The tent has elasticized fitted corners only and it goes over the sheet and around the outside edges. I was confused because it was advertised as twin size and the box says full size. We're using it on a twin size bed and it fits perfectly. It's over a year and Lilly still loves it. Also got her a teeny-tiny coleman lamp to hang inside.

Not difficult, but you do need 2 people for certain parts as it is long and heavy. Get everything together loosely and then tighten it up

It's very springy--you can bend it as much as you like, but it will return to flat as soon as you let go of it. (Heaven help anyone who is trying to re-wrap it to send it back!) It also has a tendency to slip to one side or the other and require frequent re-positioning, pretty much every time you make the bed. I'm going to try to invent something involving snaps and elastic to keep it in place better. But as far as folding without damage--it might get a crease if it's folded tight, but that will even out in a day or so once it's released.

The top comes on and off very easily. We had no issues changing the sheets.

The best I can say is how adept you are to tent pitching. The first step is to stretch it out on the ground, then push in the 4 outside corner stakes in the ground. The toughest part is sliding the upright shock chord poles through the sleeves, you have to do 4 of them. Once that is done, it pops right up...then, after adjusting for the front door tension, push all the remaining stakes into the ground. You now have the tent body up. The rain fly is stupid easy to put on. I can get the whole thing pitched from start to finish in under 20 minutes.

Yes, it's very easy. Only takes a minute or two and then you can fold up the mattress and get it into its carry bag without effort!

Pretty easy. You just have to take the mattress all the way off the bed because it encases the whole thing. But once you have it on, it's easy to unzip the top part for washing and re-zip.

its really not that hard at all. I did most of it myself. I asked for a little help from kids to help put legs on once top was built but if I had to do it myself I definitely could have. took about 30 min total since first time I was putting together and to put up the netting. it uses shower rings to slide open and closed. there are like 50 of them on the 13'x13' lol.

You would have Velcro under your mattress....leaving room for your bottom sheet. It might be awkward changing sheets but doable.

I only do flat: sheets, pillow cases, tableclothes, napkins and placemats. I would think it would be doable, but would take more patience than I have. There are u-tube videos and how to do shirts, etc.

It was easy to do. It took about 20-30 minutes. We had our toddler help so that added time. Make sure you have the little tool you used to put the bed together.

yes, just lay it on the bed and start working on it, I did this to a queen size sheet that pilled

It all depends on how much is in your packs. Its hard to sleep two grown adults and gear but I have done it comfortably.
