That's a fitted sheet, alright.

The CY I've been frequenting in Brookfield, WI seems to use fitted sheets approximately 60% of the time. And I much prefer them myself.

I suspect that the reason they're not used more often is that the bleach and commercial-grade detergent used in hotel laundries degrades the elacticity of the corners, and they don't "fit" as well after a while.
