What are hospital corners for sheets and how do you make them? Great question! Growing up, some of us may have experienced the bedsheet folding technique in our own homes (and how lucky!). But for the rest of us, “hospital corners” remained an elusive mystery, until now.
It’s actually pretty simple - making hospital corners means folding bed sheets and tucking them into a mattress is in a specific way that is both pleasing to look at and also creates a snug fit.
And yes, hospital corners originated in hospitals, but they're also the designated way to fold bed sheets in the army, navy and other military branches. You'll probably also notice hospital corners on some nicer hotel bedsheets as well.
You’re watching Mattress Clarity editor and staff reviewer, Katie Golde.
There are about 6 main steps to folding the hospital corner, then just a few more rounds of practice, and it’s done! Please know that the type of bed sheet (cotton, bamboo, jersey knit, etc) and the weave (percale or sateen!) will impact how crisp and clean your hospital corner lines will be.
We’ve got step-by-step instructions that are written out in a post worth checking out here: www.mattresscl...

    I'm folding the corners as you suggest. My problem is the queen sheet does not seem large enough to allow either corner to stay tucked in. One mattress is 11" thick, the other is 9". They both have the same problem.

I've yet to be able to make a hospital corner on this bed because of the low profile and the mattress is sun 3.5 inches into the frame. I love the bed but how do I get hospital corners back? ;( I want my waterbed back...so much easier & more comfortable.
