How do you make your bed?

I don’t, but my wife does a great job and I tell her so. I do help put on a change of linens twice a week.
 

I have a queen size bed and also use a king sized comforter because it is tall. In the summer I use a much thinner quilt. I have to have two pillows on the bed because one of my doggies likes to sleep on a pillow. If I don’t give her own pillow, I wake up and we are sharing mine, which means I am mostly off my pillow while she enjoys it🤣.
 
Comforter in winter, light blanket in summer. Flat sheet under that, fitted sheet on the mattress. Pillows in pillow cases, both covered by a single "body pillow" which exactly fits across the bed.
 

I pull the flat sheet up to the pillows then fluff up the pillows. Next I pull up the comforter and straighten it and tuck it in the base of the bed along with the flat sheet.
 
I leave the pillows on top. Tucking them in does nothing for me. I don't use a bedspread because I have a Hudson's Bay wool blanket on each bed, and I get pleasure out of seeing them. That makes it worthwhile to do a semi making of the beds.
 
Hotel style for me. Fitted and flat sheet, lightweight cotton blanket on top of that.

Bedspread next and a duvet folded in thirds across the bottom of the bed. Sleep pillows propped against the headboard, shams matching the bedspread propped against the pillows, then 4 decorative cushions in a line, alternating patterns, followed by a complementary patterned smaller cushion in front.

Oh. And I “chop” the 4 decorative cushions for added effect.

I chop the cushions on the couch too.
 
Every morning when I get up. You couldn't bounce a quarter off of it but it doesn't look like it has just been slept in.
 
i don't make my bed ever except when i change the sheets. i see no point in wasting those few minutes of my life nor the energy it takes, on the bed when i'm just gonna be back in it in a few hours. it's time i'm not gonna get back and i never have company so it matters not. ;)
 
one thing i find amusing is when hospital patients make their bed. we're just gonna come in and rip all the bedding off. it makes me giggle.
 
Usually the maid makes it and I critique.

In real life I bought this beautiful thing and sleep on top of it except for winter.
