our cat prefers it unmade, easier to crawl under sheets (tho he'll get under no matter how taut you make it).

hospital corners aren't that hard; mr que is just hospital-corner-differently abled
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
i make the bed and i have no idea what hospital corners even are. if the sheets and blankets are pulled up and not too rumpled and the pillows are on the bed, that's made. and since i'm the only one in the house that ever does this anyway, i don't get any complaints.
― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
here's the thing--i WISH i knew how to make a bed. but at least three different people have shown me how, and still: i suck. therefore no try except for fitted sheet alley oop to old lady

Hospital corners are really easy - like giftwrapping a box.

It is so easy and really does do a better job than random stuffing!

that's what she said
oh jesus
Had to do hospital corners when I worked as a maid for a hotel/resort. Personally I'm just glad we didn't have to fold the toilet paper into little triangles on the roll, as if to suggest that no filthy filthy human hand had ever torn its surgically sterile fibers asunder.

pulling the bedclothes up to the pillows when you roll out in the morning but not being intimidated or otherwise influenced by bed-making nazis making the bed is an important way to maintain order in a chaotic world

yeah thats a fine approach imo - tho hospital folding the whole thing up like a perfect lil package has its appeal too

omfg who knew there were so many instructional military videos about hospital corners, breaking out the rulers and everything!!! oh man
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link
LOL Tom, I thought you'd have set a few clips to nosebleed techno by now.
RECOMMENDED: you lazy fuckers incapable of hosp corners could just buy a fitted sheet and a duvet/comforter cover.

i am not a lazy fucker

we have a fitted sheet and a duvet comforter cover but we also use a regular bedsheet because we are not savages

hi TOMBOT btw
― being being kiss-ass fake nice (gbx), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes but getting the comforter back into the duvet cover is a pain the ass beyond that of hospital corners!!!

Yes TOMBOT it is lovely to see you!

is suzy recommending eschewing the flat sheet altogether :O
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Britishes dispense with the flat sheet when the comforter cover is also made of cotton sheet. Flat sheet comes into play if comforter cover is made of different material than cotton sheet or there is some other blanket between you and the comforter cover.
― ☜ no, over there (suzy), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:50 (fourteen years ago) link
disgusting, but not surprising

We have to make the bed, or the cats will shed all over the sheets. In fact, we have to make sure there is no bit of sheet showing or the cats will lay on that little bit of sheet and shed all over it.
― she is writing about love (Jenny), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:54 (fourteen years ago) link
the point of the flat sheet isn't that it's made out of cotton, it's that it can be washed more regularly than pain-in-the-ass duvees!
― being being kiss-ass fake nice (gbx), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:54 (fourteen years ago) link

― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:55 (fourteen years ago) link
well, the duvet cover /= the duvet. it can be washed
― bitter about emo (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:55 (fourteen years ago) link
when cats shed on sheets it just makes the sheets more soft and cozy!
― Chillwave Is an Ill Wave (askance johnson), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 16:56 (fourteen years ago) link
still you must have a flat sheet imo

Putting the duvet back in the cover, two person method
Lay the duvet cover on the bed, with the opening towards you.One person grabs the corner of the comforter. The other person grabs the other corner.When one person says GO, both people use their hands to guide the corner of the comforter into the corresponding corner of the duvet cover. This is more fun if you race.Once the corners of the comforter are snuggly encornered in the corners of the comforter, grab the cover and pull it down over the rest of the comforter. Nestle the bottom corners of the comforter into the bottom corners of the cover.Pick up the comforter and the cover from the bottom and give it a few good snaps to make everything settle in properly.Button or tie or zip or whatever to complete.

Once the corners of the comforter are snuggly encornered in the corners of the COVER

1 ok grab the corners of the duvet cover that are farthest away from the opening where u put the comforter in
2 scrunch up the duvet cover like an accordion while holding onto the corners so that the corner end up v close to the opening which receives the comforter
3 grab a corner of the comforter and guide it into one of those two duvet cover corners
4 repeat w/the other repective corner
5 grab both the duvet cover corners so that youre squeezing the comforter corners inside in place
6 stuff the rest of the comforter inside the duvet while holding tight those corners
7 unfurl the the duvet like you would a flat sheet
8 reach inside and make the corners closest to the duvet opening match up
9 done!
