Abstract: A method for using a device for facilitating the covering of a furniture piece, which includes a flat plate which is sized and shaped to fit between the cushion and cushion supports of a chair or couch, or between a mattress and a mattress support of a bed. The flat plate contains a plurality of parallel rectangular slots through which a corner of the furniture covering is passed for securing the furniture covering to the plate. When placed between the mattress and mattress support or cushion and cushion support of a furniture piece, the weight of the mattress or cushion serves to hold the plate in place, which serves to maintain the position of the sheet upon the bed.
