Bed sheet restraint

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

One of the things in life that drives me mental is when the sheets slip off the corner of the bed. Sometimes it happens slowly, sneakily even, and you wake up with the sheets all messed up. Other times the damned things pounce on you, like they're spring loaded. I dislike this so much I hunted down a solution. Elastic straps that go under the bed? Too difficult to connect. Different sheets? Same annoying problem. Then I spotted a bunch of different bracket-like designs in online stores.
The only problem was that each time I tried to buy from these stores they were either out of stock or were an outright scam. Almost as annoying as the sheets slipping off in the first place!
Thankfully, 3D printing. A quick and simple hour in Sketchup, some disturbingly arbitrary measurements, and my first attempt at a click-together setup, and I cranked out what turned out to be a very workable sheet restraint bracket.
You'll want two of these for each side of the bed where the sheets try to fly off and attack you. In my case, that means I'll print four in total, but even locking down one side made a huge difference.
