If it’s riding up the sides of your mattress, it’s probably not big enough for your mattress. Sheets say on the package something like, “fits mattresses up to 11 inches tall”. If your mattress is taller than that, it’ll ride up.

Bed Sheet Suspenders, 100%

I am the bottom sheet in my bed. I feel you, I can barely deal with myself.

4-point suspenders. The adjustable kind for big boys.

Lay it on your box spring, with the 4 clips pointing at the 4 corners of the bed. Lay your mattress back down. Put your fitted sheet on, and clip each suspender clip to each corner of the sheet, under the mattress.

Life hack you didn’t know you needed.

Dry a good thick blanket at the same time. It may stop the wrapping but if you check in ten minutes, it’s a lot easier to unwrap. Much more likely, it wraps around the blanket and that stops the wrapping of the sheet around itself. Helps to do that wrapping around the blanket itself by hand before hand.

They sell elastic with clips you can use to hold your sheets in place. They’re a pain in the ass to switch if you don’t know how.

My technique is to stretch the clean fitted sheet over the old one and move the clips one side at a time, then pull out the old sheet from under it.

there trick is to pull the elastic down far enough so it reaches over the bottom edge of the mattress.

forget folding it neatly. you can adult without that skill

This is a cool community. I never expected so many helpful replies to this. Thank you all.

I didn’t see anybody else share how to fold a fitted sheet, so here you go. This is how I’ve been folding mine for several years now. It’s a game-changer.

I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

Don’t worry - most older adults people aren’t going to quiz you by bringing a fitted sheet to watch you fold. If you want to bunch it up and shove it in a cabinet, just go ahead!

A lot of times when I wash our sheets I just put them right back on the bed. Now there’s a life hack for ya!

I’m currently laying in a crumpled up mess of sheets that came off the corners. This is my life now.

Wash bedclothes separately at at least 60°C. Germs die and salt and fat will dissolve. No folding, because who cares it won’t make a difference after 1 night. And yeah what elbow said, pull the fittet sheets as far as possible over the mattress. The rubber ring should be as small as possible on the backside. The sewn corners on the bed sheet should rest on the mattress’ corners that are on the underside, or even being stretched further

The fitted sheet? Never had issues with it. The “edges” are supposed to go under the mattress. It’s not going anywhere.

Sheets that go on top of that? I don’t use them because they are pointless. They always bunch up and end up at the foot of the bed anyway. I just use the comforter.

They sell straps that clip on and hold it onto the bottom of your bed: Use or make those.
