It always wants to ride up the sides of my bed because elastic never wants to hold it in place. When I wash and dry my sheets it inevitably spirals up in the washer and dryer so it never washes or dries properly. Then it’s a pain in the ass to try and fold neatly.
I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

If it’s riding up the sides of your mattress, it’s probably not big enough for your mattress. Sheets say on the package something like, “fits mattresses up to 11 inches tall”. If your mattress is taller than that, it’ll ride up.
Bed Sheet Suspenders, 100%
Deep pocket sheets work wonders. Suspenders never worked for us.
4-point suspenders. The adjustable kind for big boys.
Lay it on your box spring, with the 4 clips pointing at the 4 corners of the bed. Lay your mattress back down. Put your fitted sheet on, and clip each suspender clip to each corner of the sheet, under the mattress.
Life hack you didn’t know you needed.
Did you buy suspenders for this purpose? Who owns suspenders in the year of our Lord?
Firemen and obese truckers.
To answer your question in two parts:
-
I do own a pair or two of nice dress suit suspenders, and they’re awesome. The nice kind, where you have to get buttons sewn into your dress slacks.
-
I did specifically buy a pair of firemen suspenders, for use with sheets.
-
My grumpy 67 yo coworker has been wearing 3 point suspenders for the past week, never seen him wear em before
Those suspenders must be too damn tight.
there trick is to pull the elastic down far enough so it reaches over the bottom edge of the mattress.
forget folding it neatly. you can adult without that skill

Thanks, that makes me feel better about my adultery skills

Stop cheating on your spouse.
No wonder the sheets don’t stay on the bed 😂
That was the joke, right?
Also depends on the sheet. I have one that always pops off no matter how well I secure it on the corners.

Don’t worry - most
older adultspeople aren’t going to quiz you by bringing a fitted sheet to watch you fold. If you want to bunch it up and shove it in a cabinet, just go ahead!A lot of times when I wash our sheets I just put them right back on the bed. Now there’s a life hack for ya!
You put your sheets right back on the bed because you’re too lazy to fold it.
I put my sheets right back on the bed because they’re my only sheets.
We are not the same.
I didn’t see anybody else share how to fold a fitted sheet, so here you go. This is how I’ve been folding mine for several years now. It’s a game-changer.
Hey, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
This is a cool community. I never expected so many helpful replies to this. Thank you all.
No worries
I am the bottom sheet in my bed. I feel you, I can barely deal with myself.
So real it hurts
I’m currently laying in a crumpled up mess of sheets that came off the corners. This is my life now.
There should be enough give to tuck the corners and sides underneath your mattress.
If not you may need deeper sheets.
I just fold them corner to corner as normal and accept it’s shit haha
When I wash and dry my sheets it inevitably spirals up in the washer and dryer so it never washes or dries properly.
I got about 8 wool dryer balls that I tossed in the dryer and it has kept the fitted sheet from wrapping and bunching up. Dries MUCH better.
Any product recommendations on those?
I don’t think it matters, I got mine at Walmart. Think it was the BHG brand.
I think some places you can buy sheets and pillowcases separately and not in sets. What this can allow you to do is buy a flat sheet and use it on your mattress instead of a fitted sheet. You might need to buy a size bigger for this to work, I don’t know.
The flat sheet should be better because you can tuck it under the mattress and it will not do that crazy balling up in the wash/dry.
I just talked myself into trying this someday.
This is what most hotels seem to be doing these days. At least the ones I’ve stayed at.
I think I saw it recently at a hotel.
Glue it to your bed. To wash, hose it down every few months. It takes about a week to dry the mattress, so you just have to get used to sleeping on a damp surface. Apply Febreze liberally.
