How do I get a fitted sheet that will fit my Queen size mattress well?
I can never find a fitted sheet that will fit my Queen size mattress. I like them tight and not with wrinkles. I have tried those elastic clips but they do not work. Need help on this for I hate to sleep on the bed. Also would like to know how to fold a fitted sheet. Thank you!

Most fitted sheets are made to fit up to 18" mattresses. You can look for sheets that have a lower height accomodation for a tighter fit. You might take in the sheets you currently have.
As for folding, I always match up the corner lengthwise then again and tuck inside each other. Then lay flat and fold down the 2 sides that have elastic until I have a rectangle that isn't gathered. I fold my flat sheet to the same size and lay on top of the fitted sheet. Then add the pillowcases and fold to a smaller rectangle. A lot of people save out one pillow case and place sheets and pillowcases inside the 1 case. Then fold over. I rarely do this but it's a neat way to keep everything together.
Amazon sells sheets for shallow depth (6-9") mattresses. If you google this, I'm sure you'll locate other retailers.
