tucking in
Folding blankets snugly
Tucking in has two main senses.
The first is securing bedding snugly around someone, especially a child at bedtime: She tucked the kids in and kissed them goodnight.
The second, chiefly British, means eating heartily: We tucked in to a massive Sunday roast.
Both suggest settling into something comfortable.
