Making a bed The first thing to do after getting up in the morning is making a bed. I have to smooth out my fitted sheet, tucking the ends of it back under the mattress in case they can be seen. Then, I take my blanket wrapped with a duvet cover and spread it evenly over the bed. Next step is fluffing up the pillow, then putting it back at the head of the bed. Finally, there comes a bedspread, which I spread over the covers, fold the long side, which hangs over the bed, back, so it lies on the face side of the spread, and pull the latter tight close to the pillow.
