Today’s tip is a shameless product endorsement (though unfortunately, I’m not making a red cent from it). It drives me nuts when a fitted sheet won’t stay on the mattress–especially when it happens in the middle of the night. I’ve tried the "suspender" style of fitted sheet holder with no success. But this works: The Sheet Holders. They’re hard to find in stores; the only place I found them was on Ubid.com, and then once in a mattress store. But they’re worth the search, and the $10 I paid for them.

I have never had a sheet pull up. Am I weird? I know I was concerned about it for the crib mattress, but our bed I haven’t had a problem. But if I do, I know just where to go! 🙂
Mine is up – and I am so excited to be first! woohoo 🙂
Thanks, Shannon, for all the fun and great ideas!!
Those holders look cool. I like that you can use them anywhere on the mattress, not just the corners. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, Shannon, for the great Wednesday content.
I actually got up this morning, posted (and used the banner this time–yea low-tech me!), and read my way through what was posted so far, getting some good tips and a few laughs, too. Great way to start Wed.
Shannon,
You’re such a generous host, thanks. I also appreciate your tip.
I have never seen these before and they look BRILLIANT. I might just have to try them…too bad soem of the proceeds won’t go to you. 🙂
Great idea! I need to get those for my bed.
Appreciate you, friend.
I have woken up desperately tryng to hold my sheet in place. I image it is quite funny to see. I know if felt strange to do it.
My tip’s long today
hope that’s okay!
Now I just have to say
Happy Works-for-me Day!
I love “products!” I need these for my kids’ sheets – great idea. Thanks again for hosting. Hope you’re having a great summer with your family.
I bought the elastic type and we consider those just nicely placed ornaments- they don’t work at all! I will keep my eyes out for that one.
My tip is up now too 🙂
Thanks, Shannon!
Those look cool! Thanks for the tip. Have a great day.
As always, thanks for your tip and for your hosting this exchange…
finally have mine up
Mr. Linky did something weird – I promise I only put my link in once, and he only offers to let me delete the one that I put in (#6) but I see it again on #26 – much too late to have been a case of hitting “enter” twice.
Has anyone else run into this? Does Mr. Linky automatically find and add posts that include a link to this post?
I found sheets with deep “pockets” at Wal-mart of all places, but I remember the days of sheets wrapping around my toes–how frustrating!
Mine’s up!
What a cool idea! I’ve never seen those.
Thanks so much for your hosting of WFMW. Now Wednesday is my favorite day of the week!
Hi Shannon, I posted mine just now!
Mary
I remembered to do it on Wednesday!! Yay! Mine’s up.
Good idea! My first one is up but the baner, well you’ll see when you go over! 😀
I have debated about getting these. I think I will have to because I can’t sleep when the corners pop up. I’ll get up even in the middle of the night to put them back on. LOL.
Thanks for the recommendation!
(Found your blog through the ring with the colorful baby chicks graphic. LOL!)
I guess I’m just lazy. Some days my sheets are out and some days they stay put. I just don’t care anymore LOL
Great tip! Ours do this CONSTANTLY because of the pillow top. I’ll certainly be checking these out!
Mine is up!
Wonderful tip! My sheets are always coming off my bed!
Thanks for the fun ideas! I’m finally joining in… and thanks to all the others who’ve given me some great tips!
I did it! I managed to think of another wfmw post.
I just gave up and ended up getting those “deep fitted” sheets… much more expensive than your fix!
I love deep fitted sheets. I love your idea though, I will use it on the kids sheets.
I look forward to WFMW now. Mine is up. 🙂
Thanks for passing that along, Shannon! I’ve tried different kinds, and they’ve never worked.
left a link, thanks! I love this meme.
Since getting new sheets we have had this most annoying problem! Oh, and again I ran out of ideas for WFMW but hope to scrounge up something for next week!
Thanks for the useful tips and creative ideas! My WFMW is finally up 🙂
Forgot to comment this morning. I’ve never had the sheet problem– but if I ever do, I’ll keep your idea in mind. 🙂
Can’t wait for Kansas City Blogger’s weekend…
I’m going to have to get some of these! We have the hardest time keeping sheets on the kids’ beds.
My WMFW is up.
Hello! #2 on Blog Top Sites? Who’s a blogging star?! You are! You are!
I have got to check out this product! I have no idea what my 3 year old does at night, but her sheet are always half way off the bed in the morning. Thanks for the scoop!
I found these at Bed Bath and Beyond once, they are usually hiding on an obsure rack though. Might be worth a look in your area though…
This is a smart one! And cost effective too! Thanks for the tip!!!
