hospital corners
Military bedding technique
Hospital corners are a method of tucking bedsheets tightly under a mattress, creating crisp diagonal folds at each corner.
The technique keeps sheets taut and smooth, originating in hospitals and military settings where neat, hygienic bedding is standard.
She made the bed with hospital corners so tight you could bounce a quarter off it.
