3. Step 1: Clear the Bed
For a properly made bed
it is best to start from
scratch. This means
clearing off any sheets
and pillow you have on
your bed. I am down
only to my bed frame
and mattress. If it has
been a few weeks since
you’ve washed your
sheets, now is a great
time to do so.

4. Step 2: Add the Mattress Pad
While a mattress pad is not
necessary, I personally always
use one. It adds another
comfortable layer between you
and the mattress, which is great
if your mattress is
uncomfortable. This step is very
easy, as most mattress pads
have little elastic bands on the
corners. Just line up the corners
of the mattress and the pad and
put it on. Since this is the
bottom most layer, make sure to
stretch out the pad completely
so there are no wrinkles.

5. Step 3: Add the Fitted Sheet
The fitted sheet is named this
because its sides are completely
elastic, which will make for a tighter
fit around the bed. Like a normal
sheet, one side of this sheet should
be longer than the other. However,
since the entire side of the sheet is
elastic, the corners are less defined
and the sheet can look more circular
than rectangular. Make sure to orient
the sheet the correct way before
putting it the right way. Same as with
the mattress pad, make sure to put
the sheet on tightly to avoid any
wrinkles. The easiest way to do this
is lift the mattress slightly as you go,
to tuck the sheet in as well as
possible.

6. Step 4: Add the Top Sheet
First, find the side of the
sheet that is hemmed.
That is the side that will be
lined up with the head of
the mattress. From there,
spread the sheet out so
there is an even amount of
sheet hanging off each side
of the bed. The leftover
sheet hanging off of the
end of the bed should be
tucked into the bottom of
the mattress.

7. Step 5: Hospital Corners
This is the most important step to making the
bed. This will keep the sheets in line and far
less likely to come apart during the night, as
well as making the bed look neat. My mother
taught me how to do hospital corners
because I would always rip my sheets out as I
slept, and they helped immensely.
First make sure the tucked in portion of the
top sheet is in tight. Pick one corner to start
with first. Grab a portion of the sheet that is
hanging over the side so it folds over the top
of the mattress at a 45 degree angle from the
corner of the mattress. Hold that portion of
the sheet in place, and tuck any remaining
part of the sheet that is hanging over the bed
under the mattress. The part on top of the
mattress can now hang down on the side
once again. This flap should now be tucked
under the mattress as well. This will keep the
sheets tight against the corner of the bed and
very difficult to pull out of place. Throughout
the process, make sure to get rid of any
wrinkles so the sheets will be smooth. This
will help keep the sheets tucked as tight as
possible. Repeat the process for both sides of
the bed.

8. Step 6: Add the Duvet
The duvet will be placed on top in
a similarmanner to the top
sheet. Make sure it is spread
evenly over the bed, with the
same amount hanging off both
sides of the bed. Line up the
duvet a little below the top sheet.
Since the duvet is very important
for appearance,make sure it is
spread out nicely and wrinkle
free. I do not usually tuck the
duvet into the mattress, since my
duvet is very thick. If you like
having the duvet tucked in,
however, feel free.

9. Step 7: Fold Down the Sheets
The reason we lined up the
duvet below the top sheet is so
the extra length of sheet can be
folded over the duvet. There is
no functional advantageto this,
but it will look nice and
presentable. If you want your
bed made as tight as possible,
tuck the remaining sheets, and
duvet if you wish, hanging off
the side of the bed under the
mattress.

10. Step 8: Pillows
I like to sit my pillows up against
the back of the bed. I also have
two pillow shams I like to keep
on top of my other pillows.
These are mostly decorative, so
feel free to use any kind of
decorative pillows you please. I
like my pillows flat as a pancake,
but most people like fluffy and
voluminous pillows. If that is the
case, make sure to fluff them up
before you put them on the
bed.
