tuck in
Arrange covers snugly
Tuck in has two distinct uses.
The first means to push or fold fabric snugly into place, especially when making a bed or securing a child under blankets: She tucked in the sheets and kissed him goodnight.
The second, chiefly British, means to eat heartily or with enthusiasm: The kids tucked in as soon as the food arrived.
Both senses share an idea of settling into something comfortably.
