Woman shares 'hospital corner' trick for bedsheets to make sure they never come off

A cleaning expert has shared her 'hospital corner' hack that makes sure your bedsheets never come loose - and it's all to do with how you fold them under your mattress

The woman said her folding hack is 'fancy'(tiktok.com/@daily.life.essentials)

If you're someone who moves around a lot while you sleep, you've probably noticed that the sheets on top of your mattress sometimes find a way to come untucked just a few days after changing them.

Even if your sheets are fitted at the corners, it's easy for one corner to come loose with too much movement on top of the mattress jostling the sheets around.

But one woman has shared a video on TikTok that shows one way of folding your sheets at the corners before you tuck them under your mattress, which means they won't come off in the middle of the night.

The trick is called "hospital corners" because it's often seen on hospital beds, and it's perfect for top sheets and blankets that don't have elasticated corners like fitted sheets do.

In her video, which was posted on her @daily.life.essentials account, the cleaning expert showed that the first step once your sheet is positioned is to tuck the bottom of the sheet in at the foot of the bed along one side.

Then, fold the excess over to the short side of the mattress, and tuck that in underneath too.

Finally, take the folded side and pull it down, tucking everything under the mattress to form a perfectly folded corner that won't be tempted to come loose in the night.
