One of the simplest ways to stay healthy is to get a good night's sleep. And what better way to do that than by giving your bed the luxury hotel overhaul treatment.
Whether you want to splurge on luxury sheets or just learn how to make your bed with crisp and clean corners, you can turn your bedroom into a much-needed heaven right now.
And while you're at, why not make at-home turndown service a thing? Chocolates placed on pillows are always welcome.
Make it right
If you've ever slipped into a bed at any of the world's best hotels, you know that there's something special about the smooth sheets, the tightly tucked duvet, and how cool and crisp it all feels against your skin.
What's the key to re-creating this at home? For starters, you'll want to forgo the fitted bottom sheet. In order to get that perfectly smooth, wrinkle-free base, hotels use oversized flat sheets to line their mattress.
To do so, however, you'll need to learn a simple new skill: the hospital corner.
This involves tucking a flat sheet under one side of the mattress and working around the bed from one corner to the next. Once you've reached the next corner, pull the excess fabric toward you and then up onto the mattress, creating a 45-degree angle relative to the side of the mattress you've just tucked in.
Leave the fabric creating a 45-degree angle atop the mattress and tuck the leftover fabric neatly under the side of the mattress you'll be working on next. Then, pull the fabric making the 45-degree angle back down the side of the mattress, flush with the corner. (Visual aids come in handy. Google it.)
