Steps to Make a Perfect Hotel-Style Bed
-
Choose the Right Bedding
The first step to making your bed like a hotel is choosing quality bedding. Opt for cotton satin sheets, a soft and silky material often used in high-end hotels for optimal comfort.
- Recommended Material: Cotton satin, soft and silky
- Colors to Favor: White or light tones for a calming and bright effect
Pro Tip: Choose sheets and a duvet slightly larger than your mattress for an elegant drape on the sides.
-
Place the Flat Sheet
Start by setting your fitted sheet, then place your flat sheet centered on the bed. Make sure the drape is even on all sides. Pull the edges tight to avoid any wrinkles.
Next, tuck the sides under the mattress, making sure the fabric is tight. For perfect corners, fold the excess fabric on top of the bed into a right angle and tuck it neatly under the mattress.
-
Insert the Duvet Cover
This is a step many dread: inserting the duvet into its cover. Here's a simple and effective method:
- Place the duvet cover centered on the bed.
- Insert the corners of the duvet into the cover.
- Hold the two corners of the cover and shake it until the duvet fully fills the cover.
Finish by tucking the duvet under the mattress, as you did with the flat sheet, with perfect corners.
-
Arrange Pillows for an Elegant Look
For a polished final touch, place your pillows symmetrically against the headboard. Mix and match pillow sizes and shapes for a harmonious visual effect.
Decor Tip: Choose pillows that match the colors of your room for a cohesive look.

Add a Throw or Bedspread
Nothing says "luxury" like a throw or bedspread elegantly draped at the foot of the bed. You can leave it spread across the entire width of the bed or fold it neatly for a more structured look.
You now have a perfectly made bed, ready to offer you restful nights. However, even with these tips, nothing beats the expertise of our staff and our high-end bedding for an unmatched level of comfort during your stay at the Hôtel Brice Garden in Nice.
