NYC Pro Organizer Shows How to Make the Bed So Sheets Stay In Place
If you’ve ever made your bed only to find your sheets in a crumpled heap by morning, you’re in for a treat. New York-based professional home organizer Lisa Jacobs, founder and CEO of Imagine it Done, presents an easy solution: the hospital corner tuck.
The hospital corner is a bedsheet-folding technique reckoned for its visually pleasing effect and aptitude for keeping bedsheets in place, even through a restless night. Being a decorating staple in the hospitality industry, it is a favorite among housekeeping professionals and now, you can master it too with Lisa's straightforward guide.
Long renowned for her uncanny ability to bring order to any sphere of chaos, Lisa's successful journey in organizing began at Boston University. Soon after founding Imagine it Done in 2004, she became a local household name in New York for her transformative home organization services.
Now, she is using her platform to share practical tips for maintaining a well-structured home environment, with the latest wisdom involving the mastery of the hospital corner tuck. This method not only guarantees a tighter, neater look for your beds, but it also helps sheets stay in place.
But what exactly makes up a hospital corner? Simply put, it involves a series of maneuvers that culminate in tight, diagonal folds near the foot of the bed. These folds make it difficult for sheets and blankets to come loose, bunch, or slip off. Here's a general step-by-step guide:
Start by laying the bottom sheet on your mattress. Ensure it's even on all sides.
At the corner, lift and hold the sheet approximately 16 inches from the tip of the mattress.
Tuck in the sheet hanging down at the corner under the mattress.
Then, lower the lifted portion of the cloth, creating a triangular fold.
Tuck in this triangular part under the mattress.
Repeat these steps with the remaining corners.
With Lisa Jacobs' expertise and these simple steps, say goodbye to jumbled morning sheets and wake up to a fresh and tidy bed every day. Here's to a more organized home life, one hospital corner at a time.
