It would help if you told us what issues you're having.

We have a walk around queen and make it up like we do at home.

They work with fitted sheets. We've used them at home and work fine. Just cross the corner diagonally.

We use suspenders. Got the big-and-tall sized ones with the clamps. Easy on, easy off, highly adjustable. Clamp on or near each corner and adjust.

I slide the whole mattress down towards me to put fitted sheet, etc. on it. Then slide it back up to position when I'm done. Beats walking back and forth.

These work very well. However, just about anything like this will keep the ends from coming out as easily.

That’s what we do. Works great. We use queen sized sheets (from Costco) and they work just fine. A little long but that’s ok. I’m kinda pillow happy and this set comes with 4 pillow cases for some reason.
