My problem is that the fitted sheet keeps coming undone in my top corner side of the mattress. There is a feather bed underneath of the fitted sheet also that may be part of the problem. I think I have the fitted sheet on the mattress properly, it is tucked all the way under the mattress but it always seems to work it self loose and come off of the mattress. Any ideas why this is happenning? Anyone know of any solutions to this problem?

Wal-mart or has these little straps made of elastic and clips and you put them on the ends of your sheets. It helps the sheets stay in place, real inexpensive.

If your sheets are several years old, they may not fit the newer, thicker mattress. Sheets for newer mattresses are called deep pockets, they can be from 14 to 20 inches long on the corners of fitted sheets. If you cannot purchase new sheets, there is a product that clips across the corners, under the mattress to help keep sheets in place. How do I know? I work for a company that makes sheets.

Yep, Walmart does have those straps. They are generally sold in a 4 pack and can be found in the bedding section.
Its happening because most sheets these days are designed to fit a flat queen size been. They aren't large enough to hold onto the mattress when you add a feather mattress or other type of padding.
You either have to buy special sheets designed for the thicker material or use the straps.
Good luck!

Measure your mattress the depth in particular.. If you have pillowtop or a mattress pad traditional sheets won't work.. Most maker have "extra deep pocket sheets" that are available for a bit more. I love bedding and prefer higher threadcount sheets (400 or higher..) they last longer and have deeper pockets and are really, really soft... You will pay more for them but, it's so worth it... good luck

Buy "deep" sized fitted sheets or get rid of the feather bed.

There are elastic connectors, looks sort of like something on a garter belt that helps keep sheets on... any place you buy sheets should carry them.
