How to keep sheets on those HUGE mattresses!

How many of you out there have matresses like this....

you know.... thicker than molasses on a winter day!

:)

Don't you HATE it when you wake up in the middle of the night

and the corner of the sheet has slipped off the corners and you're lying on a bare mattress, because your sheets don't fit just right.

Well I have a solution for this nagging problem.

You'll need a piece of elastic to go from one side of the corner of the fitted sheet to the other,

like this.......

You can either sew it in place or put in in place with saftey pins, like this.

Yep, I took the easy way out and used the safety pins.

(no one's gonna see it!)

:-)

Make sure the you pull the elastic when you pin it so it'll be tight when you do the next step.

After you get it all pinned on, then you slip it under the corner of the mattress like this...

You may need to adjust the elastic if you don't

have it over far enough, but

 it works like a charm once you get it just right!

It holds the sheet on tight and you won't wake up with lines on your

face from sleeping on your bare mattress.

(but I can't guarantee you won't have blankie marks)

:)

See how tight it holds the sheet on!

I have done this to all my sheets and they

never come off.

Hope you can use this tip!

Have a blessed day!
