Satin sheets tend to slip off the bed.

Satin sheets earn high praise for their luxurious smooth texture and shiny appearance. The sheets stay cool during the summer months, providing comfort even in homes without air conditioners. Unfortunately, they have a tendency to slide off the mattress and some people have been known to slip and fall out of bed during a night sleeping on satin sheets. Special straps, available at department and dollar stores, can help secure the sheets.
