Why Fold a Mattress Cover?
- Saves space: Makes your linen closet neat and organized.
- Wrinkle prevention: Keeps your cover smooth and ready for use.
- Increased lifespan: Careful folding reduces stress on seams and fabric.
Easy Steps to Fold a Mattress Cover
- Lay it Flat: Spread the cover on a bed or table, elastic side up.
- Match the Corners: Bring the top two corners down to meet the bottom two, aligning the seams.
- Fold into a Rectangle: Fold the long sides inward, creating a narrow rectangle.
- Fold in Thirds: Divide the rectangle visually into thirds. Fold the bottom third up and then the top third down, forming a smaller rectangle.
- Optional: Fold Again: If storage space is limited, fold the rectangle in half one more time.
Helpful Tips
- Work out the wrinkles: Smooth the cover at each step to prevent creases.
- Be gentle: Avoid pulling too hard on the elastic edges.
- Store properly: Place folded covers in a linen closet or breathable storage container.
