Expert Answer

Start with placing the fitted sheet loosely on the top of your mattress so that the corners are aligned in a way that they follow the corners of your bed. Tuck and pull the sheets tight around the corners at the edges to remove all the wrinkles. Once all corners are fitted, add your blanket or comforter on top. Lastly, tuck the bottom of the blanket under the mattress for a more polished hotel style look, or you could let it drape loosely for a more relaxed style.

A crisp sheet is one that's fresh and clean, with sharp creases. It may also refer to sheets made of fabrics like high-thread-count cotton, as opposed to softer sheets like flannel or satin.

How do I fold a flat king sheet?

Community Answer

The same as you would fold any other flat sheet, towel, etc. Keep matching up corners and folding until it is a size you like.

Question

Do I tuck in only 3 corners?

Community Answer

The goal is to have all of the four corners in the same place so that it creates a square, then folding it like a normal sheet.
