The secret hack to making your bed in no time — "Omg, no way! I need it!"
​

Imagine waking up in the morning, feeling refreshed and energised after a good night's sleep and then you’re reminded that the bed needs to be made. If you’re anything like us, we seem to flail about in our sleep, pulling the sheets out and making an absolute mess.

We are sure this chore is not something everyone enjoys (if anyone actually enjoys doing it) — it is tedious, time-consuming, arguably unnecessary (depending on who you ask), and rage-inducing, especially when one corner keeps getting untucked no matter how many times you tuck it in.

Sound familiar? Well worry no more!

TikTok user Rachel Meaders, has recently gone viral on the social media platform after sharing her secret to making her bed in no time.

"It takes maybe 15 seconds to do the entire bed," she says in the video.

So, what exactly is the hack if you ask?

Rachel shared that she uses a bed sheet tucker from Amazon each time she makes her bed.

"I'm not kidding. We never make our bed without our Tucker tool," she explains.

"It saves my nails when tucking in the fitted and flat sheet under the mattress and into the bed frame."

The bed tucker — which is shaped like a paddle with a knife handle — allows you to tuck the bed sheets into the bed frame without having to lift the mattress.

And the TikTok community was raving over the hack, viewing the video more than 6 million times and leaving thousands of comments.

One person wrote: "The Tucker is a must-have for me."

"The sheet tucker is awesome!!!!!" another said.

A third chimed in: "Omg, no way! Need it!"

Rachel also shared that she uses the clamp-on bedside table where she puts her bedtime books and other sleeping aids she uses before sleeping.

We would also like to share this video tutorial on how to make the perfect bed which you only need to do once every two weeks! Sounds too good to be true!

Fitted bottom sheet and loose top sheet.
Yes I also always untuck the bedding in hotels, can't stand being unable to move while asleep.

I suffer from bad osteoarthritis in my hands and shoulders and am unable to lift my mattress to tuck in the sheets so this may help. Also when I was nursing we knotted the bottom sheet kept it tight as a drum

I must get one. Not sure where to get it.

As others have said, the last lady didn't do a great job with her hospital corners. But worse, she then put on the doona cover and then the doona on top? What on earth is the point of that? Isn't the doona cover there to keep the doona clean? Weird!

 

[Isabell]

I do hospital corners, and tuck Only the side that’s visible from the door. So it looks neat, but there’s room to move around under the sheet. Easy to remake too, as there I less strain on the’tidy’ side.

 

[Isabell]

I wonder would a plastic lettuce knife be good for the tucking trick?

Really !!! I learnt how to mitre corners & make a bed properly many decades ago in nursing. I don't need a damn bed tucker because my fingernails are not going to get in the way of making a bed & housework. The younger generation think they are the 1st to do all this stuff. And as for the youtube hotel beds. Bahahahaha. Lady, l would have fired your patootie with those mitred corners. Fail, fail, fail.

Right on!!
