Finding it frustrating trying to have a wrinkle night free sleep in my 2004 movano fixed bed.
First issue was sheet coming off corners so bought straps to hold it on .
But it just rucks up very badly and drives me mad. I tried looking for an old fashioned terry towelling sheet but they all seem to be waterproof/mattress protection.
The mattress is 6 inches deep .
Any recommendations? Guess it needs to be super stretchy and preferably not to hot!

I use Asda fitted sheets which are (or at least were when I bought mine) elasticated right the way round and not just at the corners. We have a fixed bed in our caravan with cut out corners but these sheets stay in place really well.

Another vote for Asda, we also use a John Lewis mattress topper.

Not for us. The Dunelm fitted sheet that relatives use at home are 100% polyester, not even polycotton. We found them as sticky as nylon & we kept waking up stuck to them, lathered in sweat. Not a restful night’s sleep at all.
Cotton for us, no need to iron.
