I believe this fits here on account of the “if it’s stupid and works, it’s not stupid” rule but just bought a brand new mattress to fit on my reinforced metal frame bed (i’m a fatty but anyways). I like to read sat up before bed and this new mattress just would not stop sliding down and pillows would go behind.

Rubber mat underneath, extra pillows…did nothing. So my solution?

Extra long lorry ratchet strap!

Strapped around my mattress is the ratchet hooked up to my headboard and no issues so far but my friend seen it this morning and he just gave me the weirdest of looks. Anyone else had to do something similar?
