Helpful Tips


Once done completely from the bottom sheet up, only the top sheet and blanket need to be remade every morning. You can speed up the process by tucking them both under the mattress at the same time It won't be perfect but will probably be good enough.

If you don't like to be so confined when you sleep, just don't create as much tension when you tuck the top sheet and blanket.

Step 2Put on the top sheet

 

 

Now you're going to create a nice, tight confining area to slide into at night. Your feet will be unable to shift around, and you can get some small idea of what a straight jacket feels like as you fall asleep.

If you've just used a flat sheet as your bottom sheet, you'll realize that the top sheet goes on in almost exactly the same way.

     
  • Find one long end of the sheet (a side without a hemmed edge) and stand next to the bed. Generally, the sheet will have one edge with a hem of at least 2", and that end should go towards your head.

     

  • Flip the sheet out over the bed, so that it billows out and spreads over the mattress. Position the sheet so that it hangs evenly over both long sides of the mattress but has extra length at the foot end. The end of the sheet where your head will be should reach the top edge of the mattress.

     

  • Take the bottom end of the sheet and tuck it snugly under the end of the mattress. Make sure that the sheet is flat between the boxspring and the bottom sheet. Move back to the long side of the bed. Tuck the sheet under the mattress, so that a vertical fold is created at the bottom end of the mattress. Tuck the remainder of the sheet under the mattress, but leave a foot or two of it loose at the top. This will be folded back over your blanket to form a nice, soft edge that sits next to your face.

     

Repeat with the other side of the mattress, creating a taut surface by tugging firmly.
