These are adjustable elastic triangles with clips on the ends. They slip under the corners of the mattress and then you attach the clips to your sheets or blankets to hold them in place. My whole family, from mom to grandma, has always used them, and they even work to keep flat sheets used as a bottom sheet in place. In the winter months I use a second set on the bottom corners to hold my duvet or blankets in place

They are cheap and available at in the notions department Walmart and Amazon.
