In the Mediterranean, the art of living well begins with the small daily rituals: making your bed with care, feeling the coolness of soft sheets at the end of the day, or opening your wardrobe to find your textiles perfectly arranged. At Aiguavista, we believe that beauty lives in these gestures—and that caring for your sheets is not just about organization, but about extending their life, preserving their softness, and keeping the soul of your home alive.
This guide is for those who value high-quality fabrics—like organic linen, linen lyocell, or hemp—and for anyone who loves surrounding themselves with colors that evoke Mediterranean calm: breeze blue, saline white, warm sand. Discover how to iron bed sheets, how to fold fitted sheets, how to store them with care, and how to turn everyday routines into something special.
Ironing: the first step toward a flawless bed
Ironing might seem like an unnecessary luxury, but it’s actually a gesture that enhances the softness of the fabric and keeps it fresher and smoother for longer. Especially with natural fibers like the ones we use at Aiguavista, good ironing makes a noticeable difference.
So, how do you iron bed sheets properly? The secret is to do it while they are still slightly damp. This makes smoothing much easier and protects the fiber. Start with the largest pieces—like the flat sheet or duvet cover—and finish with the fitted sheet. Use steam and adjust the temperature according to the fabric (low for linen lyocell, medium for cotton, high for heavier linen).
Ironing is also a way to connect with your textiles, dedicating to them the same care they give you every night.
Folding: practical order with a touch of beauty
Who hasn’t battled with a fitted sheet? Mastering how to fold fitted sheets not only saves space but also prevents wrinkles and makes it easier to keep your wardrobe tidy.
Here’s a foolproof trick for folding fitted sheets:
-
Lay the sheet inside out, with the corners facing outwards.
-
Tuck one corner into the other until all four are neatly stacked.
-
Spread the sheet into a rectangular shape.
-
Fold into thirds lengthwise and then into a square.
Once you master this gesture, you’ll never hide the fitted sheet at the bottom of the pile again. Knowing how to fold fitted sheets well is one of those small skills that brighten the everyday.
For flat sheets, the technique is simpler: smooth them out and fold in successive halves until you form a rectangle. And if you’re looking for a broader guide on how to fold sheets, remember to always start by laying the fabric completely flat and working on a clean, smooth surface.
Storage: how to keep your sheets with style and efficiency
A well-organized wardrobe is a silent pleasure. To keep your sheets soft and in perfect condition, store them in a dry place, away from excessive direct light. You can perfume the wardrobe with lavender sachets or eucalyptus sprigs—perfectly in tune with Mediterranean natural scents.
A useful trick is to store each full set (fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcases) inside one of the pillowcases. That way, when it’s time to change the bed, everything is ready at hand. And if you want to enhance the harmony, organize your sheets by color: soft tones like stone linen or saline white bring visual calm, while deeper shades like indigo or moss add natural sophistication.
Caring is loving: beyond the routine
Caring for your textiles isn’t just about order or aesthetics. It’s an act of intention—a way to prolong the life of the things you choose to keep close. At Aiguavista, we work with noble, sustainable materials that, when treated with care, become even more beautiful over time. Folding, ironing, and storing your sheets isn’t an obligation—it’s an expression of respect for comfort and for the planet.
A final note
Remember that our fitted sheets are designed to adapt perfectly and stay in place night after night. We also offer flat sheets in sizes 180, 160, 140, 150, and 90 cm, made so that every bed—no matter its size—looks as good as it feels.
Caring for your sheets is caring for your rest. Do it with intention, with gentleness, and with Mediterranean style. Because every night begins with a fabric that embraces you.
