how do you keep bedsheets from wrinkling every night? (sofa, pillow, mattresses)

If the bedsheets fit perfectly tight on the mattress there would be no problem but that rarely happens. So the sheets always crinkle up when I move around in the bed. Any solutions to that?

Flannel sheets & Other things to worry about!

We discovered the biggest difference in fit on our kingsized bed is the quality of the sheets we purchase. Walmart cheapies and they get the creepies, therefore wrinkled and collected around the corners and bottom. We spend a bit more and got better quality of fit in the seams.

Seems as if I remember my Mother using some sort of wide alligator clips on the corners of sheets prior to fitted sheets being mass produced. They kept the bottom sheet taunt. Bet you could adapt some sort of bungie cord with clips on the end to fit under the mattress and keep the sheets taunt while on the bed.

All-cotton sheets wrinkle more readily than cotton-polyester blends. So you could use the blends, or get cotton "jersey" sheets, which are knit instead of woven. The latter have a softer feel to them but are lighter than flannels.

Sleep on the sofa and never use the bed.

Leave them folded in the dresser drawer.
Unless you sleep in a stiff position, and never move, you're going to get wrinkles no matter what sheet you sleep on.

Sheet clips can help.

Quit moving around. Buy top quality sheets.

It annoys me that most sheets now are sold for these really thick pillowtop mattresses so when I put them on my mattress without a pillowtop they are way too big and shift around easily. I bought high quality sheets and they all had this extra depth to them.
