Melbourne’s mum Chantel Mila (pictured) has gained more than a million followers on TikTok by sharing home hacks. In her latest video, she reveals how to make yourself comfortable in bed
First, Chantel made her bed and threw on a king-size doona for her queen-size bed to make it look more luxurious (left). Next, she rolled the doona a third of the way down the bed and placed a throw under the roll to add height (right).

“This is a trick a lot of bedding brands use for their in-store displays!” she wrote.

These first two hacks already made the room look fluffier and lighter, like she was staying in a hotel.
Place two pillows in the dryer at a time with a rolled up towel or tennis ball. The texture of the towel or ball will loosen up the pillows, making them more comfortable to lie on

The end result impressed hundreds and more than 14,000 people watched the hands-on clip.
Previously, Chantel shared her simple four-step method for folding a fitted sheet in seconds, saying the “fold hack” offers an “easy way to fold a fitted sheet” without leaving a crumpled mess at the end.
“Folding a fitted sheet saves storage space and only takes 20 seconds. Let me know if you try it at home,” Chantel wrote alongside her video.
The first thing Mila said is that you need to lay your sheet flat on a surface like your bed, with the elastic part facing up.
Flatten the sheet so that you start with a completely flat surface, with the elastic facing inward.
Previously, Chantel shared her simple four-step method for folding a fitted sheet in seconds. First, lay the sheet flat with the elastic side up and fold the top bottom corners over and tuck them into the top corners to create a rectangle (pictured in action).
After that, it’s a matter of creating a “rectangle” with your sheet.
Flip the bottom two corners and place them in the top two corners to create a rectangle,” Mila explained.
You can do this by placing your hands in the corners of the sheet and sticking them in the other two corners.
The third step in Mila’s four-step method is that you need to fold the two long sides inwards. This creates a long blade line.
The third step in Mila’s four-step method is that you need to fold the two long sides in to create a long leaf line (pictured).
With the long sides folded in, all you have to do is fold your two short sides in.
This should make a neat rectangle ready to be stored in your wash or press.
Mila’s ‘bonus tip’ is that you can store your fitted sheets in a dust bag to keep them clean and fresh.
Simply slide the sheet into the pocket and secure with the drawstring to ensure your sheets are fresh when you put them on your bed.
How to make your bed fluffy like a hotel:
When making the bed, Chantel Mila recommends the following three steps:
1. When choosing your bedding, opt for a doona/duvet one size larger than your mattress for a cozy feel. If you have a queen mattress, use a king doona. It’s a trick many bedding brands use for their in-store displays!
2. Roll your Doona 1/3 across the bed and add a throw under the roll to add height
3. Put your pillows in the dryer with a rolled towel or tennis ball for a quick fluffy look
