How to Make a Bed

Making your bed — in the sense of changing the sheets — is a chore you should be doing every week. Bedding accumulates sweat, bodily grime, and dust mites — microscopic, allergy-triggering critters that feed on the flakes of skin you slough off as you slumber. If you make your bed in an improvised, haphazard fashion — failing to secure the bottom sheet around the mattress’ corners and shoving the top sheet will-nilly between the box springs and mattress — the result will look sloppy and your sheets will come undone as you roll around at night. Keep things ship-shape and get a better night’s sleep by making your bed properly.
If you want to learn a military-style method for a tighter result, here’s how to make a bed you can bounce a quarter off of.
