How do you keep your bedsheets from coming up during the night?

Question

Every night I have to put my bedsheets back on because they come up. I make sure that they go all the way past the corners of the mattress and the sheets are the right size. I don't know if I just move a lot or what, but every night without fail, they are popped off the corners.

Answer 1

you can get the sheet suspenders or straps to hold them on.

Answer 2

Try hospital corners, its kind of hard to explain here but if you check a video sharing website like youtube, I bet someone has posted a demo how to do them. They make the sheets so tight this won't happen.

Another suggestion is to try flat sheets that are one size bigger than your bed, you will have more to tuck with. If you use a fitted sheet now and that is the problem (elastic, you can try mending them to tighten the elastic, or trade them in for flat where you make up all four corners like you do the foot end of the flat sheet.

You can also try tucking your blanket in with your sheet, to help hold it in place.

But however you put your bed together, use hospital corners. They are easy and keep your bed from falling apart.

I have this same problem. I think it's the make or fabric used for the sheet. I notice the top name brand sheets stay on but the ones that are economical slips and slides. For the ones that slip off I use a safety pin at the corners and pin it to the mattress.I hope that helped a little.

Answer 4

Ours stay on pretty well. If your mattress is really slick, like a satiny feel, it's harder to keep the sheets on. They do make straps with little catches like suspenders or garter belts have on either end that attach to the corners of your sheet and slip under the mattress, and this usually keeps them secure.

Answer 5

there's a really secure way that you can put them in, it's called a hospital tuck. what you do is put the bottom in first. then, pull the flap hanging over the side of the bede up so that you can tuck under the corner. Then, pull the flap back down, and adjust it so that when it lays flat, it's at a ninety degree angle. then tuck that in, too.

Answer 6

They have these cool little bed sheet extenders in the stores..it gives a little extra so the sheet stays put!

Answer 7

either buy bigger sheets, even tho you said you have the right size bigger ones tuck further under. or you can buy these little bungee like clips that connect your sheet corners to each other,just for that problem

Answer 8

Wal-Mart sewing department. Tell one of the ladies you want the Bottom Sheet suspenders that will keep your sheet on at night. (They are elastic with clips on them)

Answer 9

They sell sheet holders, little straps made of elastic that hold them in place. you can get em at target walmart, or any linen store for example.

Answer 10

Buy longer, generally more expensive sheet that can be tucked in further.

Answer 11

It could be your matress is really slippery or your sheet is either too big or too small. If it fits right and your matress isn't the problem I would say that there is nothing you can do or use duct tape.
