Or if there is some magic art to getting them to stay in sodding place? The corners constantly twang off (no, we are not doing anything especially exciting.) We have a superking bed which I love and I specially measured when buying most recent sheets (M&S) and STILL they come untucked. Grr.

You can get clips that keep your sheets on Grin

I got some off amazon years ago as my bed sheets at home were notorious for coming off about three times a week. With the clips they never came off - I kind of wish I’d brought them with me when I left home!

lifecouldbeadream · 02/12/2019 21:18

Soak and sleep- we have extra deep ones. I don’t think they’ve ever pinged off (superking here too)

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 21:19

Could you try deep sheets as they will fit fatter mattresses

Bitofeverything · 02/12/2019 21:20

Clips! Where would I get these? Thanks for all the advice!

The clips are a bit of a nightmare to get on though

IKEA Dvala sheets. We’ve a very deep mattress and these are great. I have parents and in-laws using voice them bod too

BubblesBuddy · 03/12/2019 00:25

White Company. Or John Lewis deeper ones. We have superking and decent fitted sheets are a must. M&S do few superking sizes. If any. So buy from The White Company or JL.

Dunelm do good deep ones. They have a sort of ‘return’ on them that ticks under the bed. They stay on really well

stucknoue · 03/12/2019 07:04

My asda (expensive range) are good

Ridingthegravytrain · 03/12/2019 07:08

We have a deep super king mattress and a mattress topper. Most brands pop off the corners. The one we have found doesn’t is Sainsbury’s Egyptian cotton fitted sheet

Toomboom · 03/12/2019 07:12

Dunelm. They do sheets in various depths which fit really well. I have a 10" deep mattress and struggled to find sheets that stayed put. But Dunelms ones are great.

SimonJT · 03/12/2019 07:14

I have given up and gone back to flat sheets on the bottom, easier too get on and I can actually fold them!

userxx · 03/12/2019 07:25

Asda have deep fitted sheets, 100% cotton and about £10. Give them a try 👍

asparagusnextleft5 · 03/12/2019 07:31

I have Dorma sheets from Dunelm, which are fabulous quality. I'm torn over which are the best between fitted and flat sheets though. Their fitted ones are very deep, which is great for our deep mattress, and they stay on perfectly. However they are ridiculously difficult to fold and store.
The flat versions conversely are easy to fold but difficult to actually get on the bed neatly!
On balance I think I prefer the fitted ones as it takes 2 minutes to tuck them on to the mattress, they are deep enough and extremely comfortable.

chesterfuckingdraws · 03/12/2019 07:48

My mattress + topper is 35cm, M & S extra deep is the best I've found. Nice snug fit and enough elastic round the corners to keep it in place , it literally never budges.

Dunelm are decent too.

Avoid the ikea somntuta it's hideous. It's a crushed rag after washing,l which only get worse as you sleep on it, it's baggy as hell and just looks awful - I took it back even after sleeping in it (I did wash it)

Rosepetals30 · 03/12/2019 07:55

IKEA ! What a discovery Grin they actually bloody work

Bitofeverything · 03/12/2019 13:03

Thank you everyone! I measured the mattress and it’s an Emma one and not “deep” but maybe will try deep ones!

John Lewis deep sheets here.

Twotinydictators · 03/12/2019 13:07

I third IKEA Grin

chesterfuckingdraws · 03/12/2019 16:30

@Bitofeverything is the Emma mattress full memory foam? It might be that it's "softer" than a spring mattress and the sheet slips off more easily. Sheet clips might solve you problem

I buy extra deep ones and they do fit better. Haven't had one ping off for ages and DP is a fidgeter!

Dunelm ones last better than M&S IMO - last M&S one ripped clean down the middle after about 6 months (and no, no exciting use/reason for the tear!)

My DPs swear that they can't use fitted sheets no matter how tight the fit - apparently my DF manages to ping them off constantly. They've stuck with a flat sheet and hospital corners and say it's much better.

casper2017 · 03/12/2019 16:40

Sheet clips as posted before are great! My sheet never pings off and the sheets look tight and crisp

QueenOfOversharing · 03/12/2019 17:46

Not bothered to RTFT, but YABVU posting this in AIBU. Hmm Hope you find your sheets.
