My Mom taught me to turn the pillow case inside out, put my hands inside and grab the corners and then grab the corners of the pillows and turn the pillow case right side out over the pillow. This ensures that the pillow is in the right place and on straight.

[@DaltonsFriendswood]

For my hospital corner, i tuck the foot end in, then diagonally lift the side up onto the bed, tuck the tail in, then fold the edge back down over the long side and tuck in the sides. Hard to explain but the sides help keep the corner nice because they’re tucked in after. ❤

[@aprilknerr4443]

I never thought I'd be so enthralled on watching how to made a bed. But the sound effects are hysterical

[@Drunkyknows]

Very nice but I’ve never owned a duvet and after watching this, never will.

[@PrairieMom]

This made me LOL

[@michelleboyle589]

Have you ever tried the rolling technique on the duvet? Very quick and easy to do! Inside out duvet cover on the bed first, duvet insert on top, duvet cover opening at the top of the bed, start rolling from the bottom (or I fold twice instead of rolling), grab corner and flip it inside out.

[@gocleanco]

Yes the burrito! Some of our staff likes that method. Easier with two people.

[@fernbern03]

@@gocleanco Making the bed is definitely easier when you are 2 people. However I do the rolling by myself all the time and it works well. I do get my steps in. I wish more duvet makers would put in the ties. That is helpful for keeping the duvet more even. Thanks for this video.

[@hopeleyenhorst8704]

For the duvet cover I usually turn to duvet cover inside out then put the duvet on top and roll it like a sausage then unroll from the bottom and ta! Da!

[@bobrathplumbing]

My mother was an Army nurse in WW2 - always tucked the lowest part first and then made the tuck towards the front of the bed - 45 degrees - never tucked in the sides.

[@madisonsaylor819]

Thank you for showing me things my mom should’ve

[@Cassre4110]

This is AMAZING! Thank you, I am 40 and I had no clue how to properly insert the comforter into the duvet! So good!

[@M8-lv1pc]

Those hospital corners seem to be one of those things some people seem to have strong opinions on, but I am not one of them! Happy to have a decent looking bed regardless of which direction the corners go!

[@northontgirl]

Wow! Thank you so much! You've just solved my duvet in the cover issue!. I've also picked up a few other tips. Can't wait to try them and my bed will now look gorgeous!

[@gocleanco]

You are so welcome. Nothing better than a cozy beautiful bed.

[@redvelvet9644]

Thank you for this!!

[@klausrostock4163]

I’ll be 45, you have no idea how much I needed this video , I always wondered about the flat sheet what side , and I agree with you on the pillow shams . They should teach this as a HS graduation requirement

[@gocleanco]

Glad we could help!

[@suyashyogeshsoniminde8339]

thank you ! this helped me a lot thanks

[@jessakaaa2]

The duvet cover was magic

[@heathercooper9103]

Beautiful!

[@inlonging]

This is exactly how my wonderful born in 1920s grandmother taught me. She only did the single roll of the sheets but everything else is the same. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Very Helpful tips

[@user-jm3je5yf7n]

I never knew how to do the duvet correctly! Thank you so much!

[@gocleanco]

Happy to help!

[@vgrundea52]

I wash and iron the duvet cover inside out, that way it is ready for the burrito roll

[@ElizabethSullivan-xj7ix]

This video is so helpful when stuffing a duvet by yourself, thank you!!

[@gocleanco]

You're so welcome!

[@darleneb4958]

I like to put my Edging of the Pillows on the inside ...especially the one that faces the door and you see it first !! The Hotel pillow cases have that piece of extra fabric that you can tuck in.

[@ftumi]

You can also get King sized pillow cases and fold in the extra like an envelope. You tuck in at one side then push the rest of the pillow case inside

[@dannusmk1578]

What a Royal mess. Loved it. Laughed so hard cause you do things exactly like I do!

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Very nice video and helpful tips

[@TheMamasue123]

I have a love/hate relationship with duvets and their covers…

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Great video

[@gailrhodes2859]

I learned to make a bed many many years ago from Martha Stewart and I stick to it today. I think she would probably approve of your approach!! Just started watching your channel and I find it very interesting!!

[@gocleanco]

OMG we love Martha! And thank you for checking us out.

[@michelewalkerwebb]

Wow. I was so into this. Beautiful bed. When i was 8 my dad taught me army corners on my sheets. Nickel had to bounce on top. Thanks Sarah. 🎉

[@allieblank5992]

Same here! Haha

[@dewii4554]

Yes I was 8 years old myself when I learned how to do hospital corners

[@mukherjiradhika85]

One of the best videos on KZbin 👍👌

[@gocleanco]

Awww thank you so much.

[@dvanwinkle570]

I loved the video

[@sharonfriend3795]

You are making the hospital corners wrong... The fold is supposed to be underneath not on top... I learned from my stepmother who was a nurse in the army

[@shyannplayz]

Can you make a video of it please.. I need to learn how to make a bed really nice.

[@allieblank5992]

I have a distinct memory being a little girl and making my bed with my mom, and I couldn’t quite get the hospital corner. I learned shortly after and I CANNOT make a bed without doing this. It’s a side tuck though. Lol 🛏️

[@sergekatshunga1912]

Fantastic

[@marlenevincent8806]

You make it hard work. Hospital corners are so wrong .

[@vanninany]

Hey great video ❤! Where did you find that beautiful decorative pillow?

[@user-vv4gp9hs8b]

i have a bed that's pressed against a wall how should i arrange my pillows? also what if i don't have a duvet?

[@anyat686]

Seemingly you’re supposed to put the tagged corner on first ! Im not really sure if it works or im just getting stronger at putting on the bottom sheet !😅

[@kyledeyton]

Please show us how to make bunk beds😭

[@gocleanco]

We will add it to the list!

[@eileenbartholet4825]

No mattress pad? Beautiful results!!

[@soccergirlo413]

It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to make a bed correctly. I can’t find a house keeper that can make a bed correct.

[@Mamashimmy]

What must it be like to have a fitted sheet that stays on your mattress???

[@juliegriffin1368]

Where did you get your nightstands? Ty

[@AliceCarlson-nh6kh]

I just get it made because Chuck will pull it all out at night

[@derrickvanderhorst]

Hello Sarah. Just wondering if you could please make a video sometime on how to put the pillows in the pillow cases?? I have heard of people who hold the pillow under their chin and put the case on the pillow but have not seen that yet. Also just wondering where you got your pillows from. They look so comfortable to sleep on. I live in Burlington Ontario Canada. I just find it very fascinating to watch videos of people changing their bed sheets,don’t ask why it’s something that I live with.

[@Mrs.S-uk]

Hold the top two corners of the pillows together and keep together whilst pushing inside the pillow case. Much easier to reach those corners. I think I saw this on a hotel bed making video. Makes bed making a little easier and quicker 😊

[@derrickvanderhorst]

@@Mrs.S-uk can you please send a video of your method on how to put a pillow in the case??

[@derrickvanderhorst]

@@Mrs.S-ukwhere did you get the pillows from??

[@ftumi]

Lol that's how my mother does them(the chin or in her mouth and shake shake shake) when I moved out and had a BF over at 19 years old he witnessed me doing this and was appalled! He proceeded to teach me by putting the pillow case inside out grabbing the corners and then grabbing the pillow corners and just flip it around the pillow sounds more complicated wish I could show you but it's simple

[@kathymolnar]

8:10 duvet not for me. I can't get it as smooth as you. You did a great job

[@bobrathplumbing]

Where did you get the shams with the longer zipper on the side?

[@trishamorgan4]

Cool

[@kpsher367]

Why would you put pattren side of your sheet down? cause pattern side was printed for a reason otherwise should have been like lightly printed on both sides... isnt it?

[@gocleanco]

It's pattern side down so when you fold the sheet over your duvet or comforter the pattern shows. But TBH printing on both sides makes so much more sense lol.

[@kathleendavidson6552]

The duvet looks so nice but I sleep way too hot to ever have one 😅

[@jacjmc]

0:35 what matress padding / foam is that ?

[@Vee4170]

I’m just glad you haven’t got another 10 king rooms to do 😆 You’d be there for a week! RUFS? 😂

Are they cotton or bamboo? I bought Cozy Earth bamboo and they wrinkle and look terrible. I’m returning the whole set.

Yes we have! Some of our staff love it. So much easier with two people though.

[@dimachakra1865]

It’s beautiful but we have to do this every single morning!!!! 😳 I just have 5 min to do my bed. Maximum 10 min!!!

[@monabiehl6213]

Pretty complicate. I put on the fitted sheet, the top sheet and the blanket. I fold the top of the sheet over the blanket. Then I do my tucking at the foot of the bed and the hospital corners. I do not tuck in the sides, that's not comfortable. Next is the quilt bedspread and then pillow in the sham and placed on the bed.

[@samsidahbatara6378]

Wher to buy the beddings

[@kathleenjohnson1885]

I will never understand why people put a bed in front of a window. Why would you do that?

[@dominique6861]

Can anybody explain it like for dummies - what’s the role of that upper sheet? Not from US

[@ftumi]

I'm assuming that in your country you use duvet covers (?!)... They aren't big and rarely even known of is bc of the stores etc. A big part of that reason where most people in the US buy their bedding pre Amazon in big department stores like BBB &Macy's , malls, they typically show a fully designed bed (what comforter with what throw blanket and pillows etc) and those beds are made with comforters.. Can't really show a duvet in plain white etc as a style to add etc in a sense. Comforters are basically a duvet insert but with the cover .. design (usually with thick piping on the edges) already attached/ sewn on it. It's a big, thicker, sometimes even heavy fabric like cross stitching with fill I. E. Cotton, etc NOT down. They also have what's called "bed in a bag " which were well liked and purchased during a particular decade and that has stuck with some I e my mother. It included the sheets, pillow cases, pillow shams, bed skirt and if you were lucky sometimes a throw pillow decorative pillow. No thinking, everything matched and at a good price. Many are also cheaper (vs buying a quality, down duvet that is literally an investment in the hundreds of dollars vs comforter) people that aren't aware of the duvet cover think, "I don't want white..."... "I want this pattern" .. ".. matching my sheets/ bedroom..." etc etc not knowing how much better and versatile a duvet cover is and there's a bunch of different ones to choose from! So with that in mind 😂: A comforter (that doesn't use a duvet cover) doesn't need to be washed as often. I've known people that have gone years without 🤮 even your average 2x a year is horrible for people like me with pets that sleep in bed. Also, most washers aren't big enough so you must go to the dry cleaners and use an industrial machine or (and some say you must) get it dry cleaned. To protect your comforter YOU USE A TOP SHEET! which is basically one size of a duvet cover lol! As a matter of fact, over the years, I've been noticing that hotels are not using duvet covers (imagine the time) they use 2 top sheets. One on the bottom and the other on top and then the duvet is sandwiched in between the two. Also, besides time saving it's perfect for hygiene and they just have to buy more top sheets lol trying to think if I missed anything hehe

[@ftumi]

*One side not one size (I'm reading what I actually wrote)😅

[@ftumi]

Top sheet =upper sheet

[@ftumi]

You're probably wondering why she's using a upper / top sheet even though she's using a duvet cover? I can't tell you personally why she does but, i literally did that and once in a while still do because, I'm so used to having a comforter (as described btw our household would have a linen closet full of them.. One time there were 9! Now thinking about that hmmm i also thought usually in Europe vs the US there are a lack of closets and/or smaller living homes etc.People usually use armoires and closet space is such a luxury! Also, In the USA to have a "legal" bedroom (a room considered a bedroom that you can list for example: 4 bed/5 bath.. Vs . (I have a laundry room/ office room that's bigger than my bedroom that's not the primary if it weren't for the built-in cabinets i would move into that one! No closet. If we were in Europe i could list my house saying: 5 bedrooms instead) Basically, no closet added in the bedroom it's not considered a bedroom! Whole point of mentioning that is the lack of space and usually in the US it's mostly about quantity! Also, when i ask American Born people about their bedding (yes, i do lol have) for example mostly why don't you just get a duvet cover? One answer i forgot to mention above is " that's more bedding i need to buy!" thinking they're buying a comforter and ( just) ALSO adding/ buying the duvet cover really for looks (remember the white etc comment from above) it's not seen as a cleanliness reason easy to wash etc. Also, growing up with fitted and top sheets as the norm (for cleanliness lol) when you see or get in a bed without a top sheet it's like ugh gross! I think it's due to cultural norms and what we're used to. That's why I've added my top sheet by accident ( For lack of better words lol) it's easier too when you buy a sheet set which are more common in the US (they include pillow cases, one fitted sheet and one top sheet) come to think of it I've purchased minimum of 6 sheets (sets) within 2 years due to decor change (lol), dog mess that couldn't be washed out etc and i don't remember even seeing sheets separately on Amazon. You have to look for that in particular. Yes, I've explained..."... Think of the duvet cover as your top sheet..."..."think of the time you save and how easy it will be to make your bed..2 sec just fix your duvet"

[@ftumi]

Background: I'm a dual citizen. When I was young I spent 6 months in the US and the other 6 in Europe. As I got older with school etc I would go every Christmas Holiday/ vacation and every summer which added up to roughly 4.5 -5 months. My mother came to this country at 14 and my father is first generation. So, I'm used to both. But, I can tell you I didn't pay as much attention to bedding probably bc they weren't mine (staying with family and also we would drive all over during the summer , hotels)! I do know the exact day I started to understand/ realize things were different. It was a freezing winter's night at my uncle's parents'home. Heat on probably the lowest just so the pipes didn't freeze! It was literally bone chilling cold to the bone, jumped into bed and pulled the covers to my nose. And OMG! I was warm in an instant, it was the most comfortable bed that I had ever been in (also had a feather bed etc), so soft, fluffy and really high lol I took notice of the main duvet (wanting my mother to get one she was in the bed with me and agreed!)I looked for the tag and couldn't find one 😂🤦‍♀️ my mother said, ".. it's feathers .. there's a cover like a big pillow case on top of it...!" That blew my mind! Please remember I was also still in grade school, lol . In the morning (after having the best sleep lol with hardly any heat ), checked, well, inspected the bed from top to bottom lol I want to say that I didn't realize that there wasn't a top sheet but, there were a bunch of things on the bed besides the duvet. I remember a throw blanket, the duvet, a quilt, a harder thin material blanket etc. There was a lot! But, I'll assume there wasn't! And that's where my questions started and my fascination with them etc. Lol sorry to say, I still haven't found anything comparable!!! I can't ask them, my uncle's parents, because they passed away 😢) also think it's more of a " should have done my search and purchasing over there" I did research on fill vs loft etc and still messed that up 2x buying online bc I now live in FL . I'm looking for a fluffy, with some weight to it (love sleeping with a weighted blanket but it's too hot) thickness as in air and fluff but 100% down and air lol if that makes sense. The down duvets and duvet inserts marketed for summer/ warmer climates are usually very, very thin and oddly crunchy lol maybe that's the shell rubbing on itself, who knows lol but, definitely not what I'm looking for! I thought it was higher fill etc with one I paid $300 for used it a month or 2 bc it was comfortable then spring came around. But, it wasn't what I was looking for. I even tried a tip I saw on KZbin saying to buying a queen duvet cover (one smaller than your duvet) stick the king size duvet into the queen sized duvet cover! It smashes it in there, bunching it up. Giving it a fuller appearance and fluff to it. Have any recommendations? Again, another long winded comment.. apologies 😂😋🤗

[@dianachadha1520]

Never heard of a duvet? but show an old single guy how in the world to fold a fitted sheet by yourself! rolling into a ball and stuffing in the closet really wrinkles them up.

[@deniseloviglio5115]

You tube has done great videos for folding fitted sheets

[@matcam6235]

The top sheet is what you sleep under, this way you only need to wash your sheets 1-2 weeks. You blanket, or duvet , comforter etc sits on the sheet when you sleep, this way it doesn't touch your skin, hence get dirty. You only need to wash your entire bedding, plus mattress etc...every 2-3 months.
