How To Make Your Own Bed Railway

Nothing compares to the feeling of cozying up in a freshly made bed after a long day. You may now enjoy this delightful experience every day with your very own bed railway. It's simple to build and will completely change the way you make your bed. ### Materials You'll Need: - Bed frame with side rails - 2 wooden dowels, each about 6 feet long - 4 wooden blocks, each about 2 inches square - Screws or nails - Measuring tape - Pencil ### Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Measure and Mark:

- Measure the distance between the side rails of your bed frame. Mark the center point on both rails. - Mark a point 12 inches from the headboard on the center line of each side rail.

2. Drill Holes:

- Drill two holes into each wooden block, about 1 inch apart. - Drill two holes into each end of the wooden dowels, about 2 inches from the edge.

3. Assemble the Rollers:

- Insert the wooden dowels into the holes in the wooden blocks. - Screw or nail the blocks securely to the dowels.

4. Attach to Bed Frame:

- Place the rollers on the center line marks you made on the side rails. - Screw or nail the rollers to the side rails, ensuring they are level. ### How to Use Your Bed Railway: - Place a fitted sheet over your mattress. - Pull the excess sheet over the bed frame and up to the footboard. - Insert the roller at the footboard into the hem of the sheet. - Roll the sheet towards the headboard, keeping it taut as you go. - Secure the sheet to the roller at the headboard with a rubber band or hook. - Repeat the process with the other side of the sheet. - Smooth out any wrinkles and enjoy your perfectly made bed. ### Tips: - Use a measuring tape to ensure the rollers are evenly spaced. - Make sure the rollers are secure so they don't slip when you're rolling the sheet. - If you have a thick mattress, you may need to use longer dowels and blocks. - To make the process even easier, you can use a bed rail bar system specifically designed for making hospital corners. ### Benefits of a Bed Railway: - Creates crisp and precise hospital corners. - Makes bed-making quick and effortless. - Keeps sheets wrinkle-free and looking neat. - Adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your bedroom.
