How to Make a Bed in 5 Minutes
Nothing says “My life is completely together” like a perfectly made bed. In fact, we’ve said time and time again how to make your bed is the key to success. But if you find it takes too long to make your bed, we’ve put together the quickest methods for each step of the bed making process:
- Slip on the pillowcases by turning them inside out and holding them by the corners.
- The corner of the stretched sheet with the tag always goes to the lower left corner of the bed. (Left side, that is, when you are in bed.)
- Lay the top sheet pattern side down with the pattern facing up when you fold the sheets down.
- Put on your duvet cover using the burrito method.
These time-saving tricks will make your bed feel like a hotel, leaving you with enough time to spend the recommended 8.5 hours each night.
