Please join me this week as I share some hardworking service tips on—what could be more simple?—making your bed. Actually, it took me a long time to figure out the basics that I wanted in a bed to feel comfortable at night, so this is going to be a chestnut.

Beds 101 starts with the mattress, moves up through the sheets to the duvet and finishes off with pillow advice. This is not complicated decorating advice. It’s just about basic cozy comfort and ease…. the sort of thing that nice hotels do so well. They know what you need to be comfortable.
