It should also hang evenly over the long sides. • Step 11: Tuck in bottom • Tuck the bottom end of the blanket under the bed as you did with the flat sheet, making sure not to crumple the edges and creating vertical folds at the corners. • Step 12: Tuck in both sides • Tuck in the blanket completely along both sides of the mattress. • Step 13: Fold top of sheet • Fold the loose portion at the top of the flat sheet over the blanket, smooth it out, and tuck in both sides. • Tip • If you have a comforter or thick quilt, you don't need to tuck it in—just place it atop the flat sheet. • Step 14: Spread bedspread • Spread the bedspread over the bed, making sure both sides and the bottom are draped evenly around the bed. • Step 15: Position pillows • And finally, put the pillows in pillowcases and position them at the top of the bed. Now rest easy knowing you could make the toughest drill sergeant proud... • Did You Know? • The Hans Christian Andersen story, The Princess and the Pea, was based on a Swedish folktale that actually includes seven peas.
