Am senior &amp; disabled; lifting thick mattress everytime I change bed linens is painful. Which, if any, of these sheet grippers would you recommend ?

These sheet suspenders work well, but to attach them one needs to lift at least one side of the mattress to pass the end through to the other side. If the mattress is heavy, you may need help.

I totally had trouble finding sheets to fit!! Since it's so much thicker than cheapo mattresses, it was a challenge. What I found worked GREAT were the Circo brand jersey knit sheets from Target. They are so stretchy (and soft!) and fit great. I also have one Pottery Barn sheet that was given to us that happens to work well, and a Dr. Seuss flannel sheet found on Amazon.com that was labeled "deep pockets." These all work well - Id recommend the Circo jersey knit or any that say they are deep pocket - these tend to be more expensive higher quality sheets. They will all say they fit "standard" crib mattresses, so the dimensions won't do much good - stretchier sheets fit much better than standard woven sheets. Good luck! It was worth the search in order to have the mattress!

I use a soft, lint free rag, but that type application is so hard on my back and kneew (I'm 60!), that I have bought a sponge mop and will try that next time.

I have used a set of King size sheets on a full size bed and these hold them in place wonderfully. I am disabled and have an adjustable bed and they stay in place even with the adjustable bed. I think they should work great for you.

These work great on an adjustable bed. Our Twin XL mattresses had sheet creep, especially after raising and lowering the head and/or foot of the bed. We tried the Bed Bands and they resolved the problem. We put one on each corner of the mattress and they have held the sheets nice and firm with no more creep. I would recommend them to anyone.

I use this for the top sheet and the comforter. Like you, my fitted sheets fit just fine. The problem is my fiancé is constantly pulling the sheets and blankets off me in the middle of the night. These suspenders are great for that. Attach these babies and magically end the night time tug-o-war!

I'm not sure., they sell different lengths for each persons needs. I cannot move from my chest down and I have only one arm. I am completely bedridden. I drop things all day long. Without my grabbers they would need extra help to pick up my things. Buy on

I have a heavy heavy kind mattress. These straps are a little awkward to use. The corner straps are easy to put on (because they slip under each corner) but that is not where my sheets "pulled up". The same company does sell longer straps for my problem (keeping the head and foot of the fitted sheet in place and to keep the sides from riding up. Here the challenge is to be able to lift the mattress up (need at least one helper) and even then my suspicion is that the straps are not elastic enough to keep the sheet taught. If you have a smaller, or lighter or less thick mattress just ignore my comments. I have a heavy heavy kind mattress. These straps are a little awkward to use.

Get the simmons - the foam in these will give way and crack after a few months. It loses support at the edges (loses the "squareness") I would NEVER buy another LUCID or LINEN SPA foam mattress. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

We are an elderly couple and have tried these sheet straps. After changing the sheets about a dozen times the ends were deformed ( because they are plastic ) and would not grip the sheets tight in the jaws unless we folded the sheet edges to give the edge more thickness. Also the sewing on the straps started coming undone and we had to re-sew all the straps to reinforce them. We finally threw these away and went to BED BATH & BEYOND and purchased some straps with metal grippers. So far, these have been holding up and we are happy with them.

I agree with BCo. I haven't tried other sheet brands, but it's pretty forgiving. I use mine for circuit boards!

I think so. I used just one side to side at the mid-section of the sheet (about at your butt when lying on the bed) rather than the diagonal method the instructions recommend and it worked great. It can be a bit of a challenge to reach them under the mattress and clip them on the first couple times you try, but we found if one person lifts the mattress a bit, the other can reach and grab the suspender without too much issue.

I haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.

I actually have not put my on and this is the reason. A friend of mine has a set and hers are often not where they are supposed to be, but she is OK with that. I would not be OK with that. I plan to purchase those devices that hold sheets securely to a mattress and use them under the seats. I can think of no other way. Amazon has several of these devices and most are adjustable.

Hi! If you have REALLY, REALLY thin blankets and you are tucking them under at the foot of the bed, much like you would tuck in a top sheet, these might work, but I rather doubt it.......the jaws of the three clamps of each corner suspender system are not going to be able to open wide enough for anything other than the thinnest of blankets. I also don't believe that you would be able to pinch a chunk of a thicker blanket, again because the jaws just won't open wide enough. I have been pleased with these so far, because I can adjust each of the three straps on each so that no one part of the corner system takes all of the strain. But, I would give this a pass for heavier stuff, myself. Good luck! Hi!

I used the hospital bed pads. If you have a washable pad that works as well.

The seems help the sheet fit the mattress better. They are my favorite sheets ever. I have them on my bed right now and will be sad when they are cycled through the sheet wardrobe. I have other linen sheets and the fabric these are made of is just so wonderful.
