Tips to make your bed quickly

September 11th - make your bed day

A simple but frequently skipped task can have a surprising positive effect on your daily routine and well-being. While making your bed may seem like a minor detail, it’s a great way to properly start and end your day. 

However, if you have a busy schedule, incorporating this task into your routine every morning can be cumbersome. Don’t worry. Here are some tips to make your bed quickly and efficiently, even during your busiest morning.

Less is more

Limit your bedding to the essential items: a duvet and a couple of pillows. With a simple setup, you’ll have less hassle and faster results.

Keep it simple

Opt for fabrics that don’t crease easily and are also easy to wash. Cotton bedding is often an excellent choice because it’s breathable and durable with daily use. Simple, minimalist designs also make it easier and faster to make your bed without having to spend the time trying to align complicated patterns.

Use the fold & tuck method

Do you really not have the time to fluff up your duvet? Then do try the “fold & tuck” method. Simply pull the duvet cover over your bed and tuck the edges under the mattress. This will create a neat look without spending a lot of time straightening each corner.

Clever storage with a bed bench

Use a bed bench to neatly store your pillows and blankets. An ottoman is a handy storage unit to easily keep everything in one place and make your bed in a single move. This will save you time and keep your bedroom organised at all times.

Routine is the key to success

Turn making your bed into a daily morning routine. Start immediately after you get up and combine it with other morning tasks, such as brushing your teeth.

By doing this simple task at the same time every day, it quickly becomes an effortless habit that contributes to an organised start of your day.
