Tik Toker says you should keep a spatula in your bedroom

Another new life hack is trending on TikTok, and it’s a weird one: Leave a wooden spatula in your bedroom. Can you guess why?

The site “Apartment Therapy” shared it. They say to leave a sturdy, wooden spatula in your bedroom . . . to help make your bed.

It’s for people who don’t have a ton of arm strength, or don’t want to throw their back out trying to lift their mattress and tuck the sheet underneath. Just use the spatula to push the sheet under, no lift necessary.

Is it really that hard to make your bed that you need a spatula? Maybe it is and I’m being too judgmental, because I think this is dumb.

But here’s the video demonstrating this. It still looks like a decent amount of effort.

If it doesn’t work for you, someone in the comments shared another trick you might want to try. Quote, “My hack is I just don’t make my bed.” I’ve definitely embraced that hack from time to time!
