Sheet straps... what a game changer
« on: August 28, 2022, 04:06:17 PM »
I tend to thrash in my sleep.  Don't know why and my fitted sheets were always coming unglued in the middle of the night.  It was a normal morning when three corners were off and it looked like a tornado had gone through my bed.

So I bought a set of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0942R3MJN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and man they have changed my life.  Not only do they keep the fitted sheet where it's supposed to be but my thrashing has died down.  I stay on 'my' side of the bed and making it in the morning is just a matter of pulling up the flat sheet and the comfortor, arranging the pillows, and I'm on my way.

Better thing is at night when I hit the pillow my bed is nice, tight, and arranged.  It's like sleeping in a 5 star hotel every night. 

Can't recommend these puppies enough.  So much so I'm going to go ahead and get some for my flat sheet

How do you install them?  Looks like work.

Thats a great idea

I hate it when I pull my sheets off to one side or off.

Sparky, looks pretty simple - just tuck those under the mattress and clip the sheet to them

yep that's it Sparky.  It's a bit of a pita to set up and, having only had mine for a week, already learned one 'trick'.  When you take the old sheet off just clip the bands to your mattress at each corner so they don't suck back up underneath it. 

I'm telling you boys I sleep SO good these days and in one spot.  Sure I roll over throughout the night but on my king sized bed I stay in a twin sized spot.

not everybody knows everything like you do Arlo.  Some of us have to live in the world where we're smart enough to know that we don't know everything.

Whoa. Never claimed to know it all. This just seemed common. Of course my not knowing that is damning, I suppose.  :D

I guess those straps wouldn't be too much of a hassle when I change my sheets once every 3 months

Does your wife/significant other know that is how you refer to them?
