Take the "Slip" out of Slipcovers

I notice redhatterb's post was Sept'09, but thought I'd add an updated version. Hope she tried it, I'm sure it works/worked. My friend was grumbling because her queen-size mattress kept sliding off the box springs when they'd sit up in bed to read or watch tv or such...they have no headboard, so it sits alone on the floor. I had a small chunk of this stuff that I'd used to line drawers to keep utensils an' such from getting tangled, so we put it across the top end between mattress & box springs to test it. It held fairly well, but hubby had to boost the mattress back up a bit once. I've got some more in storage somewhere, so we'll try adding more soon. A thin sheet of foam rubber would do, too, can find in bed-size sheets I'm sure. Or them egg-carton type mattress pads would work, too. Anything to be rid of the slip-n-slide problems is very welcome!

I think the mats that you put under area rugs and scatter rugs to keep them in one place would work too. I have been thinking about trying this under my queen size mattress. My mattress has a tendency to slide to one side of the bed.

Hi Shannah,
I think she is talking about a shelf liner like this:

It has a rubber like finish and no adhesive on it.

I do not understand this. I want to try it, but think I need more details. I do not understand what product to buy (not quite sure what shelf liners you're referring to) and I am not sure about the process after that either. Can you help? Thanks!
