Making the beds ranks somewhere between clearing out the cellar and cleaning the windows on the popularity scale of household chores. But all the moaning is useless: regular bed-making is not only hygienic, it also ensures a better night’s sleep. And with tricks such as the clever corner or the roll mop trick, making up fitted sheets, comforters and the like is quick and easy. But before the actual bedding is made, there is usually the chaotic search for the right bedding on the agenda. To save you the hassle of rummaging through the linen drawer, we’ll show you an ingenious trick for folding your bed linen in future.
Put an end to the laundry chaos
There must be a pillowcase here somewhere …! And where is the matching sheet for the new bedding? I hear there are people for whom even the bed linen drawer is meticulously tidy. They iron the covers and sheets straight after washing or drying and then store them neatly in pairs in the wardrobe.
And then there’s everyone else who squeezes the clean bed linen into a gap in the bed base or a drawer somewhere. It’s no wonder that the next time you make your bed, valuable time is lost looking for the individual components. Once you’ve finally found what you’re looking for, the comforter, sheets and pillowcase may be together, but they’re also pretty crumpled. Find out here how to avoid this chaos with a simple trick!
Clever bed linen folding made easy
Admittedly, you will have to invest some time in this method after washing, because from now on, randomly stuffing things into the cupboards is prohibited! Grab the comforter cover and pillow and also the matching sheet. First, spread the comforter out on the floor; you can also lay two comforters on top of each other if you have a set.

Now place the sheet, folded once or twice in the middle depending on the size, on the two blankets. Smooth everything out so that you can now start folding the bed linen. Fold the long sides of the comforter once to the middle and then fold both long sides over each other. Then fold the end with the button placket or zipper over once by about 30 cm.
Now you just need to fold the bed linen over from the opposite side until this end protrudes a little over the foot end of the comforter. Then tuck this end between the button placket or zipper. Finally, fold the pillows together so that you can also tuck them under the foot end of the comforter. That’s it!
No more Tetris in the linen drawer
This simple folding trick turns your chaotic pile of bed linen into a neat, compact package that you can easily store in your wardrobe, bed base or drawer. In the future, bedding will almost make itself and tedious rummaging will be a thing of the past.
If you fold your bed linen in this way, you will never have to search for missing pillows again and, as a positive side effect, your linen will no longer crease so easily. It also creates more space in your wardrobe. Who would have thought that keeping things tidy could be so satisfying?
