"The Traditional Bed Making"
What Is The Traditonal Bed Making?
Before we get into the steps of how to make the bed, first let’s discuss what is the traditional bed making?
-Bed-making is the act of arranging the bedsheets and other bedding on a bed, to prepare it for use. It is a household chore, but is also performed in establishments including hospitals, hotels, and military or educational residences. Bed-making is also a common childhood chore.
Hotel Bed Making Steps
While you can have the right supplies (elegant white linens, warm lighting and comfortable mattress pads), knowing how to best set up your linens is essential to impress the guest and help improve their night of sleep.
Here are our steps for hotel bed making:
1. Make sure you have all your clean pillowcases, sheets, covers, etc.
One easy way to make sure that you always have clean linens in stock is to rent your linens through a quality.
2. Make sure there is no dirt or dust on the mattress.
Simply dust off and vacuum away any debris.
3. Place your mattress pad on top of your mattress.
Once you’ve cleaned off your mattress, simply place this on top so it fits your mattress.
4. Put on the fitted bottom sheet.
This sheet will be used to hold your mattress pad in place.
5. Lay down your flat sheet.
Lay this sheet down, making sure there are no wrinkles.
6. Place the cover on the bed.
Smooth out any wrinkles so that it appears nice, flat and elegant on your bedspread. Then pull back the top ¼ of the cover and flat sheet for a nice display.
7. Fold in all of the corners.
This will create that snug, burrito-like effect that guests get when they crawl into a hotel bed.
8. Place pillows in their corresponding pillowcases, fluff and then flatten to stand tall.
If you have any accent pillows, give them a good karate chop to add some differentiation between your pillow setup. And voila! You have a beautifully-made hotel bed.
