It always wants to ride up the sides of my bed because elastic never wants to hold it in place. When I wash and dry my sheets it inevitably spirals up in the washer and dryer so it never washes or dries properly. Then it’s a pain in the ass to try and fold neatly.

I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

    4-point suspenders. The adjustable kind for big boys.

    Lay it on your box spring, with the 4 clips pointing at the 4 corners of the bed. Lay your mattress back down. Put your fitted sheet on, and clip each suspender clip to each corner of the sheet, under the mattress.

    Life hack you didn’t know you needed.

      Did you buy suspenders for this purpose? Who owns suspenders in the year of our Lord?

        Firemen and obese truckers.

        To answer your question in two parts:

        1. I do own a pair or two of nice dress suit suspenders, and they’re awesome. The nice kind, where you have to get buttons sewn into your dress slacks.

        2. I did specifically buy a pair of firemen suspenders, for use with sheets.
