Stacey Solomon's clever coat hanger trick can make your bed look as if it's come straight out of a luxury hotel. The much-loved TV personality and Sort Your Life Out star has shared a nifty hack using a simple wooden coat hanger to achieve a crisp, perfectly made bed look.

Everybody loves the look of fresh, crisp bedding, and this handy tip means you never have to iron your duvet covers ever again. Bedding expert Ashley Hainsworth from Bed Kingdom reveals: "If you've ever looked at a hotel bed or a home Instagram account in awe at how neat their bed spread is, you're not alone. But actually it's easier than you think to get this look, all you need is a wooden coat hanger and up to five minutes."

Ashley goes on to describe how a coat hanger can be a surprisingly effective tool for tucking in sheets tightly under the mattress, smoothing out any wrinkles far better than using your hands. This method is loved by Stacey Solomon herself, who adopted the technique to avoid damaging her nails while tidying up, reports the Mirror.

"The wooden coat hanger is sturdy enough to have some pressure put behind it and can fit into tighter spaces better than your hand can," Ashley explains.

"It can also reach further, meaning your sheets are pushed further under the mattress, creating a sharp, uncrumpled appearance. So there's no need to spend hours trying to iron the bedding. Use the coat hanger to push the duvet under the mattress or into the bed frame if your type of frame allows."

Ashley, who is also the founder of Luxury Mattress Company, insists there are some other tricks that can help recreate a hotel bed at home. He advised: "Layering a mixture of textures can create a sophisticated look. This can be as simple as adding a throw to the end of your bed or adding a couple of scatter cushions. Plumping your pillows and fluffing out your duvet by giving it a shake can give your bed a plush look which hotels often have.

"Investing in a good-quality mattress will help, and of course, this is important to support you while you sleep and keep you comfortable. Adding a thick mattress protector can help with this if your mattress is in need of an overhaul. And adding a sheet between your duvet cover and fitted mattress cover can improve comfort."

Stacey, 34, took to Instagram to let her 5.7 million followers in on the unconventional bed-making hack. Posting a clip called 'Make the bed with me', the Sort Your Life Out host told fans: "There's just something so satisfying about fresh sheets. It's sheet day on Sunday but did nothing yesterday but play in the garden so starting the week in fresh sheets instead."

In the clip, Stacey stood on the bed she shares with husband Joe Swash as she put the fitted sheet and duvet on. She filmed herself using an old wooden coat hanger to pull the duvet cover tightly as she tucked it snugly under the mattress to achieve a perfect finish.
