Why the sheet slides off the mattress: a life hack with improvised means

27.11.2023 17:06

It is not enough to choose bed linen made of the right material so as not to freeze in winter and not to languish from the stuffiness in summer.

It is important that the duvet cover is the same size as the blanket, and the sheet does not slide off the mattress. That is why they invented sheets with elastic. But what to do with the old ones - you can't throw them away.

Why did the sheet "crawl away"

If every morning starts with having to straighten out a crumpled sheet, then it's probably time to change your bedding.

1. Most likely, the sheet was not chosen to match the mattress size.

2. Perhaps the fabric is thin or silk bedding is used.

3. It may also be that the bedding has nothing to do with it, but the mattress pad or mattress made of slippery fabric.

What to do

First, you can find rivets and sheet clips.

The devices are designed to fix the sheet on the mattress along the perimeter. It is necessary to calculate the number of clamps to press the sheet in different places.

Secondly, you can use Velcro.

Sew Velcro to the bed linen and mattress pad.

Of course, the bed won't look as tidy, but the sheets will stay in place every morning.

Thirdly, loops and buttons.

This is the cheapest way. Sew buttons to the sheet, and loops to the mattress and fasten the sheet.
