For my queen size bed I found that the corners of the sheets were always coming loose during the night. So I go some of these elastic things that have the clips on either end that you clip on the sheet at the corners. Well this didn't really do the trick either.

So I took and cut the clips off leaving just about 2 inches of the elastic still attached to each one. I ended up with 8 clips. Then I sewed the clip to the bottom side of the mattress, going in about 4 inches or so with each one. I put them at about the same spots where they were before I cut the clips (either side of each corner).

Now when I put the fitted sheet on I clip it to each clip. It holds the sheet in place nicely till I'm ready to wash and change sheets. No more bunched up bottom sheets!

I have another idea been doing this one for years. If you ever need to flip your mattress you will need those clips then on the other side so instead of sewing clips on the mattress. I do this.

I take a pair of old (wide ones) suspenders (can get them at a thrift store) and separate them into 2 pieces some times I have to cut them in the middle and sew extra elastic in them so they will fit but then after they are done just lay them on the box springs in a giant cross or X then put your sheet on and clip them to the suspenders and u can adjust the suspender to fit tighter or looser they do have the adjuster thingy on them. This works really well hubby and I are both heavy people and it works for us no more curled up sheets. Hope you like this idea.

Great idea. I have the same problem. I have also sewn one end of the clip to my fitted sheet (the bottom sheet).
