How to stop sheets slipping off mattress?

sad_muso

Hi,

I am getting so annoyed with my sheet coming loose and slipping off my double bed and need to find a way to hold them. I used to use fitted sheets but they just seemed to ping off all the time and now I use normal sheets but they last a day or so then come untucked. Anyone know of any tricks to make sure they stay put?

Many thanks

I've got king size sheets on a double bed, and it solves that problem.

I've also got a king size duvet to stop him pinching it all

Use big sheets and do Hospital Corners, that should stop the sheets pulling out.

Do you use a simple cotton mattress cover? - Nothing fancy just a giant cotton bag around your mattress - provides some friction so stops the sheets slipping and helps to keep your mattress cleaner for longer.

Avoid nylon sheets <LOL>

These are the very things you need

A right burger to put on but they do work really well.

Solved my "sheet coming off in the middle of the night bedroom misery"

I should say I use these with fitted sheets

mymatebob, you legend! I've got a Lakeland near me - getting some of those bad boys tomorrow

Just got those clips from Lakeland - weren't too bad to fit! Got 8 on my double bed, let's see how long they hold for
