Fitted sheets

Get yourself some 'sheet suspenders' - they're elasticated straps which clip onto the sheet and keep them in place. Total game changer.

Ive tried those, but my problem seems to be lots of extra, unwanted fabric on the mattress, and still the kind of corners that break my fingers trying to get them on.

I was wondering if perhaps i need to just pay a bit more and buy branded sheets?
I've tried the ones with the deeper base, and that doesnt seem to help.

I suggested those to DD at the weekend when GS was complaining that the sheets on his three quarter bed at uni wouldn’t stay on the corners. I’ll press the point home!😊

If anyone hss sheets that glide on, smooth out, and are reasonably priced I'd be grateful for suggestions, please.

Dunhelm, maybe?

MissA, I recently bought a new bed with an extra-deep mattress (37cm) so I had to buy new fitted sheets. I couldn't get the M&S ones I've had before in the colour I wanted so I thought I'd try Cotton Traders for the first time.
Why haven't I found them before? They're brilliant. The corners fit on easily, leaving the surface of the sheet perfectly smooth and taut across the bed - but without the need to 'wrestle' the last corner into place. No broken nails or sprained thumbs and they haven't shrunk in the wash either.Ten out of ten from me.

Oh thank you!
I'm sure mine isn't an extra deep mattress, so I'm really not sure what my problem is, but ive still not managed to finish putting a sheet on it.

I habe to do it in installments, and was almost reduced to tears earlier.
