What can I do to prevent the sheets and mattress from slipping? Simple life hacks

Bed linen moving at night causes more discomfort than you think. This is a common cause of lack of sleep, poor rest, tight muscles, and bad mood in the morning and throughout the day. There are several simple ways to get rid of this problem: anyone can fix the sheets and the mattress on the bed.

Why do the sheets keep sliding off?

Let's figure out the cause of the problem. Why does the sheet slip:

It's too big or too small.
It is not covered correctly (tuck the edges under the mattress).
The material of the sheet was chosen incorrectly - thin, slippery, and not suitable for the needs at this time of year.
Outdated/uncomfortable mattress design.
Restless sleep. If in the previous paragraphs the issue is resolved by replacing materials, then in this case additional fasteners will be needed.

Provide yourself with bedding that meets minimum comfort requirements. If the problem is still relevant, then use the methods described below.

Special holders

Special triple holders, which are attached to the corners of the sheet, make it possible to easily increase the tension of the fabric, thereby preventing it from slipping. The holders are made of elastic bands and clips, somewhat reminiscent of trouser suspenders. Their stretching is possible within a meter, which allows use on large mattresses.

DIY fastenings

To keep the sheet on the mattress, use available means. Sew large buttons to the mattress, and elastic loops to the sheet. Or sew a wide elastic band on the corners of the sheet so that they form triangles with the edges (like on children's mattress covers). Another option is Velcro, but after washing the bed linen they quickly become unusable.

Popular clothespins include “crocodile clips” for curtains and office paper clips (large). They are placed around the entire perimeter of the mattress.

The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com does not recommend using a pin for fastening: it can come undone at night and cause harm.

Sheet cover

Nowadays, European models of sheets with elastic around the edge have become very popular. They stretch over the mattress like a cover and never slip off. You can easily turn an ordinary sheet into a similar cover with your own hands.

How to do this, instructions:

Fold the sheet at all edges by 1-1.5 cm so that the elastic band fits into the fold.
Sew the sheet around the perimeter, leaving a hole to thread the elastic through.
Insert the elastic through the hole, stretch it across the entire sheet and fasten the edges with thread.

Advice
For convenience, secure the ribbon to a pin, this way it will be easier to thread.

The problem is in the mattress

If the mattress does not match the dimensions of the bed, then it should also be equipped with fastenings. Sew loops onto the mattress cover that will cling to the base of the sofa. Another quick way is to use Velcro.

A restful sleep is simple: you just need to bother with bedding once, and the desired comfort will enter your life.
