# How to Make a Waterbed Sheet Using Velcro
Water bed sheets are larger than regular sheets. The extra material extends beneath the mattress by a few inches to help keep the sheets from slipping off the corners of the mattress when you lay on the bed. It's a good idea to purchase sheets designed for a water bed, but if you can't find any you like or you are in a pinch, you can modify regular sheets for use with a waterbed mattress using hook-and-loop fastener strips, commonly called by a brand name, Velcro.
