I have a superking divan which zips together or can be two single beds, but the single sheets never fit because the surface area on the bed is big but also the depth of the matress itself in big so the sheet alway 'ping' off all the time.

so
a) does anyone know of any stores or makes that are bigger than usual 'over sized'
b) is there gadgets on the market that stop sheets 'pinging off' like straps or clips or something?

Thanks in advance

could you not just use a sheet for a double bed on the singles? that would solve the pinging and cover it enough
I think either Kleeneze or Betterware do the clips you mention. They look like lengths of elastic with a clip either end to grip the sheet - the whole thing hidden under the mattress.

I have made fitted sheets of a form. Get a single sheet big enough for your size of single. A standard single should be suitable. Position on the mattress, with equal fabric all around. Pin and/or tack each corner to the depth of the mattress. Don't make too snug. Remove and hand or machine sew.

Dont worry about no elastic finish underneath, as on conventional fitted sheets. This method will create enough fit to keep the sheet in place. Tuck the sheet in under the mattress.

Great thanks for the answers.

Hi Jack I have tried that but but the double sheets is too loose and by morning I end up wrapped up like a worm.

Thanks rabbitygirl for the sewing instruction, I am not very good at the sewing lark though so I will try the clips u mention thanks for that and if they dont work well I will try and sew maybe lol laughing already at what my sewing will look like lol.

Thanks again for the answers.
Sorry link didn't work, but go onto the website and look at the sheets, they do a large singe and I am sure they do a sheet that is specifically for two joined together beds.

ooo great thanks for that xxx
The Original Sheet Suspenders... copied but never duplicated. These hold the bottom bed sheet tight and in place.
