If you do wonder how do hotels get their pillows to be so plump? Those hotel sheets tucked so tight? Nary a wrinkle to be found on the sheets and it usually looks like it is ready for a photo shoot. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. Even if you can’t travel, you can bring the hotel to you!
Here are the steps:
- Get the right setup. It takes a village –
Mattress Pad with Elastic Edging
Fitted Sheet
Flat Sheet
Pillow Cases
Light Blanket
2 Standard Pillow Shams
2 European Pillow Shams
As many accent pillows as you feel you need
Optional (but recommended): a throw blanket (different color than your duvet)
2. Mattress cover goes on first! It adds a little extra comfort & coziness.
3. Then install your fitted sheet
Place your flat sheet. But don’t fold it down yet! Place your comfy blanket…and now fold both sheet and blanket down exposing your sheet.
- Tuck everything in nice and tight. And make some of those military or hospital corners you heard about.Place your duvet. If wrinkled, spray a little water on it and stretch / smooth it out. The wrinkles will disappear.
Add a throw blanket, if you have one. - Get pillow crazy. Yep, start with standard shammed pillows, then your European, then your sleeping pillows, then a few accent pillows. Make sure to plump your pillows.
Boom…there you have it. You now have a hotel quality bed – or at least one in disguise. Now…go lay down the law with your kids…NO TOUCHING MY BED
