Suspenders for keeping fitted sheets in place

Hi Guys, we ordered a new van on Monday and I thought to complement it I would treat myself to some new bedding.  Well what a shock when I looked at a island bed fitted sheet.  Prices from £22 up to £50.  No thanks I will stick with my tried and tested solution whether for a standard bed at home or the odd shaped beds in a caravan.  Easy to use and sheet stays in place no matter how much I wriggle about.  £1.99 for a set of four.

I've looked for something like this for my bed at home but  the mattress is far to heavy to lift up / turn over to fit them so i'll have to make do with loose sheets.

Another resurrected thread 😁.

At home we use widely available standard fitted sheets.  On the MH island bed we use Jersey fitted sheets which mold to the shape.  Those from M&S are comfortable and my  head of housekeeping says they are good quality, easy fit, easy wash and dry.  Who am I to dispute this! 😉

Have you tried fitted sheets? They now come in various depths.

I know this is an old thread but question asked today 😀

Thank you Bakers2. Yes I've got fitted sheets, but even with very deep sheets (the mattress is about 300mm deep)  the corners at the headboard end stil ride up and have to be pulled back under most mornings.
