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

don't remember the name of the ones I ordered. they are the long ones that crisscross under the mattress. Very hard to use if you are putting them on by yourself. Takes two people to put on.

I would suggest these be left under the mattress and you can use wooden clothespins to attach the ends to the fabric seam of the box spring. This way, when you change the fitted sheet you can just attach it without lifting the mattress. These work way too good at keeping the sheets stable to go with another brand.

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.

"Sheet Suspenders" makes a mini set (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00451BG2G) that you only need to lift a corner at a time for. I'm starting with that set to see if it's all I need. Good luck!

I've only used them to hold a chair protector on a recliner chair but they have worked very well for me. I am no longer constantly having to readjust it every time I sit or get up. I imagine you could also use them to keep wayward sheets pinned at the bottoms and sides of a mattress depending on the kind of mattress you have. They are like tiny screws that go into the material and backing of the furniture to keep various types of covers in place. Hope this helps.

We use on a cal king bed. You do not need to flip the mattress....only lift one corner at a time. The suspenders lay on top of the box spring. It would be good if you have help, but not necessary. When I change my sheets I just lift the corner and disconnect. Then put on clean sheets and lift corner of mattress to click sheet into place.

I use unfitted cotton sheets for mine then clip the ends of them to keep them from moving. It's a bit thin for a normal fitted sheet, though I have friends who said they are available places.I lay my mattress on the ground to sleep and prop it against my wall when awake to have more room, though, so I've kinda committed to completely remaking my bed all the time.

I never thought of that, but what a neat idea! They would definitely be strong enough. As you can see from the picture, the wedge comprises only about 2/3 of the lifter; the other 1/3 is the handle. The handles may not fit under the mattress with the same stability as the wedge, which is flat. So if you have a headboard, you may have to move the mattress down to allow room for the handles to stick out. But if you can get them under the mattress, all the better. I say go for it, and let us know how it worked. Good luck!

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 have a generic adjustable bed and that is why I bought them. So far they are working out ok. Do not seem to have to fix sheets anymore.

They should be on the ad for them. Having a senior moment and cannot remember where I put them. They nicely held queen-size blankets or quilts and seemed vary well-made. Definitely bug-proof. Sorry I cannot be more explicit. They're cheap. Give them a try. Linda

You are supposed to tuck one under each corner of your mattress and the sheet hooks on the closed end which is supposed to secure it. My experience was that it did not matter what type of sheet I used they would not hold on the device. I made attempts to use them with 3 different types of sheets on 2 different beds and had minimal success with them.

They should still work fine since you adjust the suspenders tension to fit your bed & sheet anyway. It may loosen up the sheet if you have to bend the bed frequently or the tension could be too much if it is too tight before the bed is adjusted upright. But you should be able to find a tension that works for you.

Not at all. In fact, I use my Grippers on both, my portable table saw, as well as my miter table. These are a MUST if you value your fingers. They keep the blade from ever coming close to your fingers. I wish I had known about these before my accident (..nearly severed off 3 fingers). It takes a minute to adjust to the piece your working with. Adjustment is fast & easy. I bought 2 for cutting long strips of trim/stock. While they are a bit pricy, you really need 2 for long boards. Best investment you'll ever make. Just make sure you keep the pads and the stock your cutting clean of dust & dirt and these grippers won't slip off the wood, as some have said happened to them.

Yes, I've tried to grip the mattress cover as well as the mattress itself. I had a difficult time doing so, and they didn't stay put. I don't use them anymore. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. We had the same issue with the newer sheets. You are going to love these straps! Put the first one on about 3" from the corner pocket and put the sheet on the bed. Pull the strap under the mattress and pull taught to the opposite side. It is really is such a pleasure sleeping on unwrinkled and bunched up sheets!

No. But not too hard to lift the castors off the grippers, roll the bed, clean, roll bed back, lift castors back into grippers. Unless you clean under the bed daily, this won't be too big of a hassle.

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.

I haven't found them useful as the topper still shifts down and buckles up. It may have been worse before I tried them, but this is no real resolution. I have a tempurpedic mattress, and that might be the reason.

I'd say try a softer one if you've never used a foam roller before. They take a bit getting used to, esp when your muscles are sore.
