How to Make a Bed: step-by-step guide

Making your bed takes a couple of minutes and makes the whole room look tidy.

  1. Pull the sheets, blanket, and pillows off to the foot of the bed.

  2. Straighten the fitted sheet and pull each corner tight over the mattress.

  3. Spread the flat sheet over the bed and smooth it toward the sides.

  4. Lay the blanket or comforter on top, lined up evenly on both sides.

  5. Fold the top edge back a hand's width so it looks neat.

  6. Place the pillows at the head of the bed and add any extra pillows in front.
