How to Fold Hospital Corners {Making the Bed}
There is nothing better than getting into a freshly made bed, except maybe jumping onto a freshly made bed. Unfortunately, that freshly made bed feel only lasts one night unless you have made the bed with hospital corners. What are hospital corners? Just the fancy looking way to tuck the sheets in to also help keep the sheets on longer.
First have an unmade bed with the sheets on
Tuck in the end of the sheet
Lift the sheet up and tuck in remaining tail
Tuck this fold underneath the first fold. You will need to lift the mattress a little to get this fold tight.
Take remaining sheet and tuck under at a 45 degree angle
Pull on the sheet to get a sharp line like the one below.
Sine I started folding hospital corners on my bed, I almost never have any issues with the sheets coming untucked. That and I feel like I could work at a hotel just making beds with the fancy hospital corners. This also helps make it easier to remake the bed in the morning as the sheets have mostly stayed in place despite the sheet stealing that goes on during the night.
Happy bed making!

I do my corners basically the same way they don’t come out as easily when you tug on the sheet..!
It’s highly recommended to use a professional mattress cleaner to remove the allergenic contaminants living, thriving and breeding in your mattresses and soft furnishing’s found in your home. You may also want to vacuum your twin mattress but I suggest you do it outdoors. Nearly all vacuums spew microscopic dust back into the environment negating all your cleaning efforts.
