How and how to secure the sheet to the mattress to prevent fidgeting

Whatever mattress is placed on your sleeping place, the sheet placed on top of it will slide, even if you practically do not toss and turn in your sleep. Today, there are many ways to keep a mattress cover in the position you put it on in the evening.

Why does it crumple

Even if you take a large canvas and tuck it tightly under the mattress, in the morning you will note with regret that it crumpled during the night and exposed part of the sleeping area. And it doesn’t matter what kind of mattress you have: orthopedic, foam rubber, cotton or spring.

The sheet will bunch up on any of them unless you take immediate action. You will have to use fasteners or replace the fabric.

It can crumple for various reasons:

• too short in relation to the mattress;
• too slippery;
• too thin.

Also, the cause of wrinkling during sleep can be a slippery mattress and too active tossing and turning of the sleeping person at night. The first problem can be solved by purchasing a special mattress cover on which the laundry will not slip. And you can hardly make a tossing and turning person sleep peacefully, so you will have to use additional things.

How to make it stay on the mattress

In the store you can purchase many accessories that can help you cope with the problem of crumpling:

• clamps;
• holders;
• clamps.

Fasteners in appearance they resemble trouser suspenders and are considered the most convenient devices. They are produced in different configurations. They come in two-pointed and three-pointed types, and can also have width adjustment. This is a wide elastic band with plastic or metal latches at the ends.

Double-ended clamp on the back side of the mattress it is attached to the sheet at an angle to the mattress. Three-pointed T-shaped consists of three elastic bands and clamps, allowing you to grab the fabric from the corner. The kit includes 3-4 clamps. But it’s better to take four to hold the product along all edges.

Holders They are made on the principle of alligator clips for curtains or clasps in grandma’s bra. They grab the fabric from the inside and outside and prevent it from moving.

For this purpose, you can also use special clamps, using them to grab the fabric of the sheet and the body of the mattress on the sides.

Handy devices

There is no need to run to the store for fixatives. It will be enough to cut off a piece of elastic, grab it with two pins at the ends and connect it with the sheet closer to the corners.

Just keep in mind that during sleep you may involuntarily open the pin and get injured.

If the fabric is too short, you can sew elastic bands in the corners, which are thrown onto the mattress while spreading. Choose wide, tight ones, and sew on the corner so that an isosceles triangle is formed.

If you sleep on a bed and not on a sofa, and you don’t need to pack up and hide the bed every morning, you can grab the sheet with a needle and thread along the edges, sewing it directly to the mattress.

But keep in mind: in this case, you will have to rip it off each time before washing, and then sew it on again.

Lovers of sofas and thin mattresses to the edge of a long sheet and to the place where it is tucked under the mattress, They can sew on shawls that need to be tied before going to bed, and in the morning untied and put the bed in the closet.

For people who cannot hold a needle in their hands, we advise you to remove office paper holders from your desk. Hook them in pairs to the edges of the fabric closer to the corner, and stretch an elastic band between them, which will hold the fabric in the desired position.

For this purpose, you can use “crocodiles” from the eaves. You probably don’t use them anymore, but it’s a shame to throw them away. So give them a second life by disconnecting the rings and grabbing the fabric along with the body of the mattress in 5-6 places around the perimeter.

We sew bed linen with elastic

If you don’t want to bother with clips and other bells and whistles, you can sew a sheet with an elastic band yourself, adjusting it to the size of your mattress. Stages of work:

1. On the cut fabric, draw a rectangle equal to the width of the mattress +2 cm and length +2 cm.

2. With each To the sides of the rectangle, add allowances equal to the height of +10 cm.

3. Cut in the corners there are squares with the side of the height of the mattress.

4. Sew fabric in the cut areas and finish the seams.

5. Fold fabric on all sides and hem it so that there is room for inserting the elastic.

6. Insert elastic around the perimeter of the product and you can put it on the mattress.

Now your sleep will not be disturbed by crumpled linen.

You can leave the usual sheet from the bed linen set, but sew a skirt with a frill, tying it with an elastic band. In the evening, after making the bed, you put the skirt on top of the sides of the mattress, and you can be sure that you will wake up in the morning on linen, and not on a bare mattress.

Choose any of the proposed methods, test it, and if the outcome is positive, always use it in your everyday life. Sleep is an important part of our life, and we need to ensure that it is calm, complete and not interrupted by crumpled laundry.
