    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.

    try sheets from the company store. www.TheCompanyStore.com

    my mattress is about 11 inches thick maybe 12 inches. And its a king size. 8)
    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.

    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.

    I've got a big fattie mattress too and I love the deep pocket flannels from Bed Bath, and Beyond. Take a 20% off coupon and get a deal!
