Suspenders for keeping fitted sheets in place

We also use the Lidl ones, tuck under any surplus on the cut off corner of the mattress.

For our seating area, I made 2 sets of fitted covers for the seats only, from a couple of cotton   bedspreads from Ikea (£2 each), still like new after 12 years.  They have tape loops along the edges and are held in place with cord laced between the loops.  We wash them  after every trip.

Did not bother with the back cushions as they get little wear, we only sit to eat, otherwise we stretch out!

Our answer for the fitted sheet issue [it's only taken us 5 years] is to put a matttress cover with deep elasticated sides over the mattress and topper, then only use deep fitted sheets which we bought from John Lewis which don't ride up and stay in place..But I may just buy some of those suspenders too.....

Down Anglian, and now behave  !!

Thanks for this, just ordered mine from Amazon. We have been looking for something like this for about fifteen years.

Ours isn't an island bed (it's against the side of the caravan, with a cut-off corner).  I don't  know if this makes any difference for the island bed, but we always use standard fitted sheets but with elastic all the way around rather than just the corners.  We find this works OK on our caravan bed.  I wonder if it miight be worth trying this sort on the Island bed???

Mine were from Kleeneze. Haven’t seen a Kleeneze catalogue for ages.

A set of gentleman's trouser braces also seem to work, especially with the tapered end to the mattress.   The single (rear) strap of the braces to the top of the sheet and the two front straps to the sheet on either side of the mattress.  We tried it on a break over the bank holiday to considerable effect.

I have just ordered a set of the triple type from China, via Ebay...

For use at home. Our bottom fitted sheets always ride up during the night, hopefully these might fix it. Type 1 are the 2 fix type, 3 the triple.

They have them over here in Supermarkets and Hypermarkets in the aisles that have loads of  useful and useless things about 2 euros a pack saw some last week when shopping. Looks like they use for the bedding here as well.

I got mine from " Coopers of Stortford "  ~~ Bed sheet clips   ( stop me rolling out of bed !! )
