There is little more infuriating than a bed sheet, fitted or otherwise, that slips and slides around in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, this was exactly the problem that had been bothering me – stopping me from having a peaceful night's sleep, and making my bed uncomfortable.

In my case, I was sleeping with a fitted sheet that was a little big for my mattress, which just wouldn't stay in place. That was until I discovered this handy bedding tool from Amazon.

For under $10, this bed sheet holder solved my problem, holding my bottom sheet in place all night long and keeping fitted my sheets on the bed. It also meant I didn't have to keep remaking my bed each morning – streamlining my morning routine and making my room look extra neat and tidy.

Why you need bed sheet holders

Full disclosure: bed sheet holders aren't pretty, but this handy buy will stop you wondering why your sheets aren't staying on the bed, and they stay out of sight anyway, so it won't ruin the aesthetics of your bedroom.

Parima Ijaz, founder of luxury bedding brand Pure Parima, says, 'Bed sheet holders, also referred to as sheet straps or sheet grippers are elastic or adjustable clips designed to keep your fitted or flat sheets securely in place.

'They prevent the common problem of sheets lifting off the corners of your mattress, ensuring a smooth and tidy bed every morning,' avoiding any common bedding mistakes, and making it easier to make the bed in the morning.

As Ijaz points out, they also provide a multitude of benefits to help you to sleep better. She explains, 'Having sheets that stay in place all night long will drastically improve comfort since there is less risk of bunched up sheets in the corner of your bed keeping you from laying comfortably.

'Leaving your sheets to be as taught and snug as much as possible will also help increase the lifespan of them, because there is no need to pull, tug, and potentially damage your sheets.'

So there you have it – my bed sheet holders have solved all my problems, keeping my sheets in place, even over the additional cushioning my mattress topper provides. I have also now used a set for keeping a flat bottom sheet secured on my mattress, too.

With them, the constant tension they cause means my bottom sheet stays wrinkle-free, giving my bed a true luxury look, and helping me to fix my sleep schedule and sleep comfortably – it's a win-win.
