1. Clear the deck. Take all your pillows and blankets off the bed and place them on a clean chair or the floor. Start with a blank slate.
2. Smooth the sheets. Pull your fitted sheet tight so there are no wrinkles. Then, lay your flat sheet down evenly. Make sure the same amount of sheet hangs over both sides of the bed.
3. Add the cover. Lay your comforter or duvet on top. Smooth it out from the center toward the edges so it covers the whole mattress evenly.
4. Fluff and place. Give your pillows a good 'fluff' by squeezing the sides toward the center. Place them neatly at the head of the bed.
