A simple yet effective coat hanger trick, endorsed by Stacey Solomon, can make your bed appear as immaculate as those in a high-end hotel.

Who doesn't love the feeling of diving into a perfectly made bed at night? Creating a flawless and inviting sleep space adds a touch of tranquillity and order to your bedroom.

Bed specialist Ashley Hainsworth from Bed Kingdom said: "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 detailed that using a coat hanger is an ingenious method for tucking in sheets beneath the mattress, achieving a tight fit and eliminating wrinkles. This approach is far superior to jamming fingers under the mattress and is even a favourite of 'Tap to Tidy' icon, Stacey Solomon, who adopted the method to avoid damaging her nails while doing housework, 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 explained.

"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 insists there are some other tricks that can help recreate a hotel bed at home. He said: "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 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."

The 34-year-old then filmed herself standing on the bed she shares with TV presenter 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.
