Plus, it simply looks wonderful, and it feels great to get into a freshly made bed each night. Here’s how to construct a bed you can bounce a quarter off if you want to learn a military-style procedure for a tighter outcome.

Spread out the bottom, fitted sheet, and wrap the sheet’s corners around the mattress’s corners.
Spread the top sheet over the fitted sheet while standing at the foot of the bed. The big hemmed end of the sheet goes at the head of the bed. Allow a modest gap between the top of the sheet and the bed’s head.
Tuck the end of the sheet between the mattress and the box springs at the foot of the bed. Ensure that the sheet is evenly distributed between the two.
Make a hospital corner at the foot of the bed on one side of the mattress. Grab the drape sheet on the side of the bed, approximately 16 inches from the foot of the bed, and raise it.
Between the mattress and the box springs, tuck in the triangle-shaped bottom drape.
Fold the top drape over while holding the corner in place with your free hand. The top drape should be folded at a 45-degree angle. Rep on the other side of the mattress.
On all sides of the bed, tuck the sheet in.
Replace the blanket and repeat the procedure. Replace the pillow in the case and the head of the bed. Include a comforter. Everything should be smoothed out.
