Check the care label first

Good bedding rewards a little care. Here is how to look after yours.

Every August Moon piece carries a sewn-in care label. If anything on this page differs from your label, follow the label.

Your bedsheet tuckers

Spreading a sheet over a heavy mattress takes effort. Keeping it smooth takes more. Our tuckers push the sheet deep under the mattress, without lifting it, so it stays neat for longer. They come free with our first 200 orders.

  1. Spread the flat sheet evenly over the mattress.
  2. Hold a tucker flat against the side of the mattress and push the edge of the sheet deep between the mattress and the bed base. No need to lift the mattress.
  3. Slide it along the side, then pull it out. Repeat on every side, corners last.

Bedsheet tuckers help you tuck the sheet deeper and more evenly than tucking by hand. Some movement with everyday use is natural, and depends on mattress size and thickness, the bed base, and how you sleep. A quick re-tuck restores the fit.

Tucker colour may vary.
