Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top We have a king size bed with a really thick and heavy mattress. Before going to bed, I ensure that the fitted sheet is pulled tight around the mattress. Every morning, without exception, the sneaky fitted sheet has crept out from underneath the mattress. The sheet has lost all of its tautness around the mattress and it feels messy and less comfortable than it would if it had stayed tight around the mattress. Keep in mind that the mattress is incredibly heavy and lifting it out of the bed frame more than a few centimetres requires 2 people due to the awkwardness of the weight and size. Any recommendations about simple ways to keep this sneaky fitted sheet in place? Safety pins, invented by Walter Hunt in 1849, are one of many tools that exist for attaching soft things to other soft things without slipping or doing significant damage. Since you also desire to attach a soft thing to another soft thing, these could work for you.
When placing the pins either orient them along the lines of force with the hooks at the bottom to reduce bends, or orient them perpendicular to the force to prevent tears and somewhat reduce bends, or if your sheets are very fragile double it up with some scrap cloth, or pin through the hem, etc. you get the point (I hope). There are also nappy pins. Feel free to double them up, too - the sky's the limit. In general, remember that stuff happens, imagine it happening, then look at what you've done and judge it and you should be fine. You could opt for a more "hack"-like or difficult solution, but it likely won't be as good or convenient a solution as using the right tool for the job. What you could do: Get double sided clips and use on all four corners of the sheet, then get a strap and string those clips together so the sheet is strapped on. There are actually clips made for this, but they work differently but still may work. Your sheet is not made to accodomate the depth of your matress so that if fits properly.
Because of this its fits on improperly and eventually falls off. Solution: Get a sheet fitted for the bed, you can do this by measuring it your self or asking someone else how to do it, probably a matress store might help.Sew velcro or stick it to your matress and sheets so that they are stuck together. We had this problem with cheap sheets I bought which were not deep enough for the thick mattress. I cured it by inserting a stripe of sheeting material. I used a different colour, and actually it looked rather smart. You need a sewing machine for this, may not count as a hack...? We solved this problem by sewing (rather large, like half dollar coin (USD) sized) buttons to the corners of the fitted sheets. We have velcro straps that cross underneath the mattress, and slip them over the buttons when making the bed after washing sheets. This causes the four corners to get extra pull towards the center. The only thing that has managed to undo this is a toddler who thought our bed was a trampoline.
We then stitched the buttons back on with significantly more thread and thicker backing material, nothing has inadvertently undone it since. This may take a little bit of work, but the first thing that came to my mind was to make the sheets have a drawstring. As long as the sheets are deep enough cover your entire mattress and fold slightly underneath, you could cut a small slit in the seam where the elastic is, attach a safety pin to a long cord and use it to feed the cord through the elastic channel and out the other side. Pull it tight, and then tie a slip knot (or some other easy to remove knot) and voila, no slippage. Does the fitted sheet always creep out from underneath the same side or corner of the mattress? If you reverse the orientation of the fitted sheet, is it the same side of the sheet that comes out of place, rather than the same side of the mattress? If so, the elastic in that side of the sheet may have worn out. You can solve that by sewing in some new elastic.
