Turning down a bed involves folding back the top linens to create an inviting and comfortable space for sleep. Here's how you do it:
-
Gather the Top Linens: Take hold of the top sheet and duvet (or comforter).
-
Fold Down the Top Layer:
- For Single Occupancy: Fold the top sheet and duvet down from the head of the bed, creating a triangle shape on each side, revealing a portion of the fitted sheet. This creates a little pocket to slip into.
- For Double Occupancy: Fold the top sheet and duvet down from the head of the bed, typically about halfway down the bed, creating a rectangular shape. This essentially folds the linens back over themselves.
-
Smooth the Bedspread (if applicable): If you have a bedspread, smooth it over the untouched portion of the bed.
-
Fluff the Pillows: Plump up the pillows and arrange them neatly at the head of the bed. You might place them on top of the folded-down duvet.
In summary, turning down a bed involves folding back the top sheet and duvet, smoothing any bedspread, and fluffing the pillows to create a welcoming bedtime presentation.
