According to Southern Living, one should fold the top sheet down an inch or two over the top of your quilt, then fold both the top sheet and quilt over one more time for a hotel-quality made bed. On all of the beds in our home, we have two pillows with pillow cases matching the sheet set, and two pillows with pillow cases matching the quilt or duvet cover. We always add at least one throw pillow and one throw blanket to each bed, so our guests feel comfortable and at home when staying at our house.
This is an extremely simple housekeeping tip that truly does transform the feel of a bedroom, and particularly a guest room. We all want our guests to feel at home, and this is a quick and easy way to make their stay feel more thoughtful.
Now that you know the professional way to make a bed with a top sheet, you might be curious to learn why people are not using top sheets at all. It’s a surprisingly popular trend with some very compelling reasons behind it.
