STRIP IT
It’s important to start with a clean slate. The mattress pad is your foundation. It should be even and flush to the edges. Fudge this step and you’ll never catch up.
CAST WITH CONVICTION
As Julia Child flipped her omelettes, so must you toss your sheets. Cast with one to two confident motions ending with a snap of the wrist. Keep a low profile. Cast too high, too much air will flood in, and your sheet will land on the floor. Too many casts and you’re just adding wrinkles.
USE PERFECT AIM
An inch off makes a difference. Make sure all sheets are aligned and centered perfectly. We use a seam in the headboard as a guide. The top sheet should be flush to the head of the mattress. The blanket or comforter should be 4-6 inches from the top edge.
FLUFF 'EM
Before inserting the pillows into their cases, give them a solid smack in the center to redistribute the feathers. You want them as fluffed as possible before adding the slipcover. Same goes for the comforter. Make sure all those goose feathers are spread like icing on a cake.
