Yes actually and you can get them at Wal-Mart in either the sewing (arts and crafts) area OR in Housewares. They're elastic clips and you attach them when you put the sheet on. They hold the corners together under the mattress and work very well.

The garter belt style sheet straps do work, but I've found that on the especially deep mattresses, they will snap off in the middle of the night or if the sheets get pulled hard.
What has worked for us is thin foam sheet circles with a seam sewn from the edge to the center to make a sharp 3-dimensional corner. A little difficult to describe, sorry, but these fit over the mattress or mattress pad under the sheet and really work well.
I've found them at Walmart, Target, Linens & Things, and Bed,Bath & Beyond. They're about the same cost as the garter belt sheet keepers.
The best advantage to foam corners is they don't snap off at you at inappropriate times in the night. If you happen to wash them with the sheets, they won't damage other garments or be ruined.

You can get all the gadgets and work like the dickens fumbling around under the mattress and against the wall but the sheets that need no help to stay on are drawstring sheets. It's not hard to imagine that a drawstring is going to work better than elastic. These sheets shifted my standard in bedding and now I can actually enjoy my expensive mattress as the sheet is so flat and smooth that it seems transperrent and the comfort from my mattress shines right through the sheet. There' also no more getting up in the middle of the night to put the sheet back on the corner and they never ever pop off.

Lots of the posts are going up every day and people need to know there is an alternative to elastic sheets. It's like upgrading to rubber tires from wagon wheels. Once you experience the difference there's no going back.

Theres the basics of course--diapers,wipes,clothes,crib. But the other products that were a must have for me.. 1.) The first years safe and secure sleeper--I co slept and this allowed me to co sleep with my son without the worry of rolling over onto him and plus it has a night light at the top so i didnt have to turn the lights on in the middle of the night and also is great because its small and can be carried for travel going somewhere else. 2.) Swaddlers 3.)Bouncer 4.) Diaper cream 5.) Thermometer and I think you pretty much know all the basics but this was some of the extra stuff for me. Those recieving blankets that came in a pack of 4 at walmart were a waste of my money. The fabric sucks!!

Be sure to get ones with metal clips. I just got some from amazon.ca and the clips are plastic. They won't even hold the sheet until you get the corner over the mattress. Useless and frustrating. Also took 4 weeks to arrive from China.

I am not sure of the name, but they look like garter belts. They are available at many nice home stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond and some mattress centers. Look under accessories for sheets and beds. I have some and they work wonders.

yes try the garter belt things. Go to a store like Bed Bath & Beyond or a higer end department store and ask someone there, they can show you what they are. I cant remember but I may have gotten at WalMart. They work good, sometimes a hassle to get on though

Believe it or not.. better bedding shops have garters for sheets, they go under the mattress, gripping the sheets on either side of each corner..
