if I get this with the king size mattress pad do I also need the strap or would a mattress pad with t he fitted sheet keep mattresses together?

I did not get the straps and have had no problem with the beds staying together.

Arlene the "Bridge" comes with double stick tape but honestly you didn't even need that. The foam that the bridge is made of stays in place fine as it somewhat "grabs" the mattress. I put a plush mattress cover over and you cannot tell it's not one solid mattress. I move a great deal in my sleep as does my husband. We also have 3 dogs in bed too and it stays in place wonderfully!! THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

I just use fitted sheets and have no problems with this item. I did not buy the straps.

I'm not sure, but I would be nervous that another sheet wouldn't stay on well throughout the night without the velcro tabs since the mattress doesn't lay very flat. I always put the sheet on and thread the velcro tabs through the slots ahead of time. Then put mattress with sheet in carrying case so when I get to my destination that part is done and I just have to attach mattress to crib.

I found it really helps having a mattress pad and a sheet to hold it all together, with that setup you can't even feel the seams if you try. It's a very high quality mattress.

I have a standard King bed with a pillow top and a fairly thick mattress pad and I found the sides of the sheet to be long enough. And didn't seen to fit tightly, just right.

I believe a mattress pad might be required. This is very thin and it does do the job of protection, but so far as any padding, you'd need that extra.

That would always depend on the depth of your existing mattress and sheet type. Thi pad adds a bit of loft,probably takes up an inch or so of your sheet!Hope that helps..

No, this serves as the only sheet you need. I would suggest a mattress pad laid underneath, of course. Just the flat sheet type of mattress pad, not the fitted type. Buy an extra zip sheet!

Yes. Our king size mattress is the same issue as yours. We bought one set (2 per set) and put them across where our shoulders are and a little below the middle. We also use the smaller diagonal ones to hold the four corners in. Our mattress has these two suspenders plus the diagonal ones you can buy here on Amazon. Our sheets do not bunch or move in any way. These suspenders hold two fitted sheets as well.

These sheets are a great fit for a regular mattress. I use a mattress pad on my mattress and the sheets still fit without being too tight/small. Without the pad, the sheets fit but just aren't as snug but they're not too big without the pad. Hope this helps!

It doesn't. There aren't any straps or anything, but if you put a top sheet (preferably one with greater depth than a normal one to accommodate the addition to the height of your mattress) over it it will stay in place. It's super comfy and plush. It will change any mattress for the better!

You can put it right on top of the mattress, and put the fitted sheet over it. Sometimes the fitted sheet needs to have greater "depth" or you may need those clip on elastic corner strap thingys (sorry, can't remember the name) to help the fitted sheet to completely cover and stay attached.

It attaches with the strap. I used it on my moms hospital type bed which has a frame. The strap may not be long enough to go around a queen size mattress box spring. Not sure about that.

It really depends. We have a king size mattress and the sheets fit a little loose. If you can't pull your sheets tight, I would suggest your iron them. However, it isn't necessary. These are fantastic sheets and well worth the money. The colors are great, as well. We bought two pair and would buy them again.

You don't need the straps. It's not shown in the photo (you can see it in the video) but there is a metal extension that goes under the mattress. This is long enough to provide the proper stability on any bed. If you use the straps it will be very hard to make the bed. Placed just about in the area of his chest, this 'bed assist bar' has also kept my husband from falling out of bed since we got it. I recommend it highly.

It goes on like a fitted sheet. The pad portion covers the entire mattress. I imagine tightness depends on thickness of mattress. My daughter has an 8 inch mattress and it still fits well but would be tighter on a thicker mattress.

I found that the mattress pad it comes with is a bit wider than an average bassinet pad. Its also quite thin, so I generally put it on soft surfaces when he's in it. It comes with a fitted sheet.

We have a mattress cover over our topper and I think it helps hold the topper in place. However, we haven't tried using the topper without the mattress pad. You can try it without and then just buy one later if you need it.
