My old fitted sheet kept coming off the bed (super annoying in the middle of the night) and this sheet is deep and stretches all the way over the mattress and covers 90% of the box spring. It stays in place and it super comfortable for the price. I have two dogs who sleep in the bed and so far it has held up with them rolling around and jumping in and out.”

One reviewer wrote: “It works!!! Every night my husband’s side of the bed always had the corner of the sheet come off. I had the right size sheets but it was always popping off. He is a restless sleeper, so maybe that’s why it wont stay in place.. I saw these and decided to give it a try, never expecting it would work. SURPRISE!!!! I clipped it on to the corners on his side, and the sheet remained in place the whole week, until laundry day. The clips went right back on, when the bed was remade. Voila! Problem solved!”
