How to fix the sheet so that it doesn't fidget?

The sheet “doesn’t obey”? Do you have to correct it every now and then? How to get rid of this problem? We will talk about this in our article.

How to fix a sheet on a bed (sofa)?

Do you like to sleep on an orthopedic mattress, but do children prefer foam or spring ones? They all vary in height, softness, and quality of mattress covers. How to secure bed linen so that your loved ones sleep comfortably?

For fixation on a bed or sofa, two main methods are used:

• use of special fasteners;
• changing the shapes and sizes of sheets.

Most often, housewives prefer the following methods:

1. Wide elastic band with clamping devices made of plastic or metal. Sold in online stores and in the “1000 little things” departments.

2. Toothed “crocodile” clothespins, which also hold curtains.

3. Stationery clips used to secure fabric to certain mattress pads.

4. Tape or elastic sewn to the corners of the sheet to pull it tightly and secure it to the underside of the mattress.

5. The finished product has an elastic band around the edge (sometimes housewives sew it on themselves).

6. All kinds of buttons and loops or Velcro attached to both elements.

7. Zipper for fixation.

On a note! It is very convenient to use strips of fabric with an elastic band over the sheet, which are attached to the side walls of the mattress, but only if the sheet is quite large and its edges go under the mattress.

Holders, clips and clamps

There are many options for attaching a sheet to prevent it from slipping. To do this, use suitable fittings, all kinds of clamps and clamps.

Bed linen holders are the best of modern inventions. This fastener is universal and durable. The shape comes with two or three ends:

“Double” fasteners are a colored elastic tape with paired tips-clips made of metal or plastic. They are attached at the edges to adjust the degree of tension. The elasticity of the elastic ranges from 30 to 150 cm, depending on its initial length.

“Tee” holders are equipped with an additional elastic band and a clamping device. Reliable fastening of the corner gives the bed aesthetics.

The principle of operation of the clamps is simple. A typical kit includes four accessories. The ribbon is threaded under the bottom of the mattress, and the clips are pinched at the edges of the linen near the corners.

Advice! It is better to use a "tee". It grips the entire angle, which improves tension.

Fastening method with conventional holders with clamping fixtures:

• spread the sheet over the entire area of ​​the mattress;
• pinch the fastener near the corner on one side of the fabric;
• lift the mattress by the corner and thread the fastener tape from its underside;
• attach the second clamp so that it is perpendicular to the first and is at the same distance from the corner;
• do the same with the other three holders;
• Check the uniform distribution of the material, and if folds are found, adjust the tension by moving the clamps.

We secure the sheet with improvised means

Constantly sliding sheets causes irritation. The easiest way to get rid of this unpleasant situation is to fix its edges. An excellent option is curtain “crocodile” clothespins, which you always have on hand. Take the required amount and secure the fabric together with the mattress cover on all four sides. Most often they are limited to six clothespins along each edge.

If the sheet is quite thin, then it is better to borrow more gentle clips from an office supply store.

Important! One of the main disadvantages of using such accessories is the possibility of damage to the material by sharp teeth.

Other improvised devices that are easy to sew on yourself:

• Velcro tape (Velcro);
• buttons with eyelets;
• elastic band around the perimeter;
• Elastic tape at the corners.

Sheets with elastic

Bed linen with ready-made sheets with elastic bands is widely available in stores and on the Internet.

Important! The elastic will become useless if the linen does not match the size of the mattress.

It is often quite difficult for housewives to cope with a double bed. A large area greatly complicates the process. Therefore, it is most convenient to choose a material of suitable quality and sew a sheet with an elastic band yourself.

The most popular sheets with elastic are made of knitted and satin fabrics. Their advantages are obvious:

• extraordinary softness and lightness;
• special elasticity, which allows you to precisely take the desired shape;
• low likelihood of wrinkles forming;
• The material fits perfectly on the surface of the mattress and adheres to the sides.

Of particular importance for your well-being is a comfortable bed that is free of unpleasant folds and lumps. Do you want to look good?
