We just got a bigger size. I guess that wouldn't work if you have a King size bed.

Even for kings, aren't there different sizes to account for things like pillow tops/etc?
Like - we have a double pillow top California King (one side is meant to disburse heat to keep you cool in the summer months - the other is meant to retain it to keep you warm during the winter). We got one for that - and it fits just fine.
Now - if we could just orient it the right way each time.. You'd think there were 50/50 odds we'd get it right each time we put it on...but...it sure doesn't work out that way.

I don't know about different sizes within one bed size. We have a dounle, with a highly padded pillow top. so we use queen size sheets. It works pretty well, but not perfectly. The sheet stays on throughout the night, but, before bed the next night, we have to refit the sheet. However, I should note, that by the time I get up in the morning, all of the top sheets, etc. need adjusted,lol.

They make them with "deep pockets"..go sheet shopping and look for your bed size ..like if its a queen..but with "deep pockets"..I dont know if they make that option in every single brand..but they do make them..thats what we have.

I change sheets once a week and it's usually often enough that the fitted sheets still stay on without issue.

Fixed. 
After buying some rather expensive sheets and a mattress pad
I made my husband laugh this morning because I told him I dreamed our sheets came off the bed during the night and I was all mad in my sleep. I was relieved to find that was untrue when I woke up.

LOL I'm really glad you found some solutions to this! My first thoughts when I saw the thread title were
a) your sheets are too small/pockets are too shallow
b) the elastics have stretched/sheets have shrunk/need to be replaced
c) you have them on sideways LOL
d) you have poor quality sheets
As far as folding fitted sheets, my Nana taught me how back when I was about 9 years old, I have NEVER had a problem folding them, ever.

It's really easy, actually. You put the tips of your fingers in the pocket part, and match the two opposite points of the pocket together and tuck them together,fold first lengthwise then end-to-end. The effect looks like a baby's bath towel hood kind of effect over your hand. Then you can lay the sheet flat and simply fold the pocket hems flat along the sheet. from there you have a flat product to fold just like normal.
Watch Niffer's video up there, it's PERFECT.
