How to Stop Sheets and Pillows from Sliding or Shifting on Your Sleep to Stand Bed

A sleep to stand bed offers incredible comfort and safety, but its adjustable nature can sometimes cause sheets and pillows to shift or slide during its operation. Whether you're looking for a simple DIY fix or a professionally made solution, here’s how you can keep your bedding in place for the best lift bed experience.

DIY Solutions

  1. Sheet Clips or Safety Pins: Attach small safety pins or sheet clips to the corners of your sheets and blankets and fasten them underneath the mattress. This helps keep sheets from sliding into unwanted positions when the bed adjusts.

  2. Slip Free Rug Pads: You cut sections of nonslip rugs or pads to fit under your sheets or mattress protector. These pads create extra friction, helping to keep bedding from shifting. Just make sure to use the thinest possible pad or rug to prevent it from affecting your sleep.

  3. Velcro Strips: Apply Velcro strips along the edges of your mattress and the corresponding edges of your sheets or pillowcases. This creates a secure hold without damaging the fabric, and acts as a less than permanent solution.

  4. Elastic Bands: Sew elastic bands into the corners of flat sheets or pillowcases, wrapping them tightly around the mattress or pillow to hold everything in place for a movement free bedding experience.

Products Available for Purchase

  1. Sheet Fasteners or Sheet Suspenders: These elastic straps attach beneath the mattress, keeping sheet corners tight and preventing any slips or shifting.

  2. Pillow Straps: Adjustable pillow straps wrap around your pillows, holding them to the bed frame or mattress to prevent shifting during the changing positions of your sleep to stand bed.

  3. Grip Liners: Mattress grip liners or interior liners can be placed between the mattress and fitted sheets to increase friction and thus prevent any shifting of your sheets.

  4. Weighted Blankets with Corner Ties: Some blankets come with corner tie downs that can be secured to special sheet covers, keeping the entire sheet set in place. 

Final Tips

  • Regularly check that all straps, clips, or harnesses are safely secured to their appropriate anchor.

  • Choose sheets with deep pockets and strong elastic edges specifically designed for adjustable beds or beds with built in movement.

  • Opt for cotton or microfiber sheets, which tend to grip better than satin or silk fabrics.

With these practical solutions, you can enjoy the comfort and functionality of your sleep to stand bed or lift bed, without the frustration of shifting sheets or pillows!
