They make some suspender like things to keep your sheets on. But I think maybe just be creative and use one of those 5 machines.

They are called sheet garters and they don't work worth a crap, especially on flannels.

My mattress isn't very fat, so I don't have first hand experience on how these sheets work on a really big one, but the nice flannels that I got at Target have elastic all the way around the edge, rather than just at the corners and they don't have any true "pocket" at all no seams - more like a big flannel bag.... They stay put really nicely on our bed and are nice and soft too.

I've never been disappointed by their service, quality and price. I like their flannel sheets.

How deep is your mattress? It's pretty easy to find sheets up to 22" just by googling.
I agree those garters don't work. I've been happy with just hitting up Macy's on a sale. They usually have various depth pocket sheets. I love their Hotel Collection towels. It's been worth the splurge.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I think my mattress is 18 inches thick - it's ridiculous. Lands End has sheets that almost fit. Unfortunately they are kind of crisp, in a way that some people must love. Just not me. But they stay on! Tokie

My mattress is one of those 15 inchers, and I finally went out and bought deep(er) pocket sheets at Sam's Club. My son recently upgraded his bed so I took the memory foam topper off of it just yesterday and put it on my bed, and those sheets STILL fit! I have to jump up a little to get on the bed. Best of all, they were only about $40 for the set, and they're very fine cotton. I think they're these.
