4 Ways To Improve Your Bedroom Life

The older and busier we get, the more we appreciate the calm sanctuaries of our bedrooms, which allow us to unwind and rest.

However, some things don’t get easier as you grow older – like changing your bed sheets without it turning into a workout.

Relax, we got you covered. Here are some of the quickest and easiest ways to make your bed and live that hotel room experience right at home.

How to fold your fitted bed sheets easily

There’s nothing that beats the feeling of sinking into a fresh set of the silkiest, softest bed sheets at the end of a long day.

The less fun bit? Trying to fold them into a proper square only to have it bunched up in one area, and flat in another.

Don’t worry, here’s a tried-and-true way of how you can fold your fitted sheets into the perfect square for easy storage.

1. Place and flatten out your fitted sheet on a flat surface, with the elastic band facing upwards.
2. Grab the bottom two corners and pull them up to meet the top two corners of your fitted sheet.
3. Instead of stacking the corners atop of each other, tuck them underneath where the top upper corners come to a point.
4. Here, you should have a half-folded sheet with the top elastic band forming an arching curve.
5. Fold from the bottom once more and bring the lower third of your sheet towards the centre. This should give you an equal thickness all across your fitted sheet.
6. In thirds, fold your sheet towards the centre starting from the left to the right until the left side corner meets the far right side.

Finally, fold up the tri-folded rectangle in the middle to create the perfect square for the best, fitted sheets.
