bed in
Remain in sheets
To bed in is to settle something into place so it functions properly.
Mechanical parts bed in as they wear against each other and achieve optimal fit: The new brakes need a few hundred miles to bed in.
The phrase extends to people adjusting to new roles or systems: Give the new procedures time to bed in before judging them.
