ARGH! Carnivorous Fitted Sheets!?

I have fitted sheets for an extra tall mattress which makes their elastic pockets rather large. Every time I wash/dry them with other members of their sheet family, the pockets end up "eating" all the other pieces which then remain all bunched up in the pockets, don't get to circulate through the water/air and don't get properly washed/dried. How do you persuade your fitted sheets to play nicely with other pieces of bedding in the washer/dryer?

    I would recommend for you to get one or more mesh bags and put the other members of your sheet family into it/them, tie the mesh bag(s)

    at the top, then wash and dry with your fitted sheets as usual.

    I have an older model washer, but have not noticed any tangling; for drying, I hand them on the line to dry.
