How To Keep Fitted Sheets From Popping Off?

blrc — Sun, 18 May 2014 19:28:19 GMT

I have a Temperpedic bed. It is not a pillow-top, and most sheets on the market are made to accomodate pillow-tops. So I have extra fabric sort of swishing around. Any ideas?

Sheet garters. They are elastic, like on an old fashioned garter belt. They have the rubber/metal connectors just like the ones we used to use to hold up our nylons. A "connector" on each end of about a foot or so of elastic.

Sheet suspenders may help to take up the slack.

BBB has a set of two long straps that you put cross ways under the whole mattress so you don't have to fool with attaching all 4 corners every time.

Those may work better on a twin or double. I can't see trying to reach under a heavy king mattress.

The sheet garters are a pain, and if you ever get snapped by one of them, it will be really a pain. I used them for a while because I have an adjustable massage bed which usually causes sheets to pop off. I finally decided to live with the sheets popping off.

Yes those sheet garters work. We used to use those. But now we ONLY have sheets with deep pockets (Northern Nights from Q), and they never come off. The sheets with pockets cover our sleep number bed that also has a 4 inch topper with no problem because they go all the way down over the corners.

NOPE! We have them for my son's king! They are designed to stay straight.

I agree sheet garters. I have a measurement for my mattress & always check the package to be sure it fits the pocket well.

How To Keep Fitted Sheets From Popping Off?

For the bottom sheets I presume? My wife buys fitted sheets that have deeper than needed pockets on them. They never pop out.
