renewable bedsheets

i discussed this idea a while ago with some folks, and it keeps sounding like a good one.
you know those towel dispensers in bathrooms where you yank the towel and old towel dissapears and new towel comes out?
how cool would it be to have bedsheets like that. then, if you're like me and are a chronic cover stealer, you roll over and yank, and your bed partner, rather than being uncovered and cold, is merely covered by brand new sheet and blanket! the best setup would involve the extra used covers getting sucked under the bed and magically cleaned. then this system would work for non laundry-inclined folks. instead of doing laundry, you'd just need to give it all a yank– juice bed? no problem. give it a tug and you're no longer lying in the sticky!
i swear, this is a brilliant idea.
i had juice bed while i was sick last week and this would have been handy. but i guess you couldn't stay on top of the bed while yanking on the new patch of sheets. perhaps this could be modified somehow for the chronically lazy (or infirm).
i'm not sure renewable bedsheets completely solves the juice bed. wouldn't the mattress and mattress pad still be wet with the juice? so everytime you rolled onto the juicy spots it would still wet your sheets. you would be wasting a lot of your valuable renewable bedsheets. i guess the obvious solution would be to a) learn how to properly drink from a cup. or b) don't have juice in bed.
snap!
i must admit that juicebed still comes up n my conversations. and generally people almost don't believe it is real. and yes petunia, why haven't you bought a non-spill cup for drinking in bed yet? it's been over 12 years of juicebeds at this point. (sweet jebus. we got old. seriously. we met over 13 years ago.)
and the notion is more like the hand dryers on an endless roll/loop. you would be in bed, the roll above you — the whole point is to be able to pull the sheets while being in bed.
But then, Tripp, how would you change the fitted sheet, which is, in my opinion, the one that gets dirtier. Or, more to the point, how would you get in and out of bed if the top sheet was wrapped around the mattress? And this presupposes that the only linens on the bed are the sheets. Revolving the top sheet would simply dump your blanket/comforter on the floor, no?
the top sheet and blankets are on a seperate roller from the bottom sheet. you'd have to yank twice or make sure you had a hold on the bottom sheet if you were out of the bed in order to renew it.
