Mattress topper straps?

anon_ymous

Hi, 

I have a mattress topper and it doesn't have elastic straps  so it often falls off the mattress which can make for a bit of a bad time for your back. Is there anything that you can do to make it basically stay there?

I've seen mattress straps but not sure how that works? I obviously wash the bed sheets every week. I don't want to re-strap every week

Could you not sew elastic straps on?

Something like this -

We have a mattress topper, and although it does have straps, we normally put a thin mattress protector over it as well for protection. Similar to this one from M&S -

I can't myself but there might be someone locally that can?

Hi, 
I don't put something on top of it other than just a sheet. The issue is even with that mattress protector cover, you'd still have the same issue

It wouldn't be difficult to do with just a needle and thread, and it won't matter what it looks like (your stitching doesnt need to be neat). It's no more complicated than sewing a button on.

If you're worried about getting the right tension, then just sew ribbons on which you tie under the corners of the mattress. I've got basic sewing skills, no machine etc.  and I'd do this myself. 

Alternatively, the drycleaner can probably do it for you

These will l do the trick for under £3: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Adjustable-Sheet-Straps-Clips-Grippers-Mattress-Cover-Sheet-Bed-Suspenders-Be/113247908495?hash=item1a5e19f28f:g:Z4gAAOSwfHFbmoPC

You simply clip on and off whenever you need to change the sheets (or if the topper is under sheets, they stay on without the need to remove at all).
