Things You Will Need
-
Place your fitted sheet onto your mattress, as you normally would.
-
Lift one corner of the fitted sheet slightly, and clip a sheet strap to the bottom edge.
-
Feed the remainder of the sheet strap to the opposite corner of the bed, under the mattress.
-
Use the clip to fasten the sheet strap to the opposite corner of the fitted sheet, beneath the mattress. Pull the sheet strap taut to create a tight fit. The tightness is what keeps your sheet in place.
-
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the remaining two corners of the fitted sheet. Once you've finished, the sheet straps will form an "X" under the mattress.
