Maybe just get ones that are made for deepr mattress and then they will be under the mattress a bit more.

We had the same difficulty with our king size bed sheets.

Despite fitted sheets with nice long elasticized corners,they still pop off when my rather large and heavy spouse rumples around in the bed.

So far I have found that pinning a large locking top diaper pin( lucky to find an old stash!)through the sheet and onto the mattress cover at bottom of each corner and under the mattress keeps everything in place.

Previously tried elasticized straps,but too much fiddly hassle.

Every store I visit that sells bedding has a separate display of various devices to keep sheets in place.That alone tells me it is a common problem.

Thanks so much for your replies. My current sheets have deeper pockets and a generous amount of elastic. I think the sheets are rated for 15" deep mattress and mine is 13". @rosiembog, I would think that the pin might cause the sheet to rip. This hasn't been a problem for you? So far, I haven't had the sheet snap off entirely, but the elastic has ridden up to within 2".

Consider buying a "Better Bedder" - it's a wide elastic band that holds the fitted sheet in place. They can be custom-sized to fit your mattress's thickness. Currently there exists no system to keep the fitted sheet continuously tight across the bed but, this product works for me (Senior with a king-size bed). Here's a short video explaining how it works.

Greetings,Rachel.

I have been using the locking top diaper pins for 3 plus years.

So far no ripping has occured.

I am careful to allow a generous amount of materials cushioning the pins, and the sheet depth is 15",so pins are tucked well under the corners.

Extra hassle when changing sheets,but way better than the previous elastic strap method.

Haha,sometimes when wanting a bedding color change( I have a huge sheet collection)

I will even use a flat sheet and pin it down.

I hope you find an ideal solution.
