SAEDNEWS: When you wake up, start tidying the house by beginning with your bedroom and making your bed; a clean and organized bedroom can create a good and energetic feeling in a person.
According to SAEDNEWS, The bedroom is a place for rest, relaxation, and mental recovery, helping to relieve the stress and fatigue of a long day. However, stepping into a messy and untidy bedroom can ruin our sense of rest and calm, which is why special attention should be paid to its cleanliness. Making the bed can make the bedroom look much more organized and tidy, even if other parts of it are still messy.
If you are among those who think, “I will sleep on it again tonight, so making the bed is pointless,” try making your bed for a few days after waking up. You will realize that a neat and well-made bed not only brings order to your bedroom but also changes its overall atmosphere and can positively contribute to organizing your daily life.
Based on research, people who keep their bedrooms tidy and their beds consistently made tend to experience better sleep compared to those who do not. This is because orderliness and cleanliness can help enhance mental and emotional relaxation.
Also, individuals who regularly make their beds are often more disciplined and active in their lifestyle, and this habit reflects something beyond simply straightening sheets.
These organized people prefer to return home to a clean and tidy environment. Therefore, you should also add making your bed to your daily good habits. To properly make your bed every morning after waking up, follow the steps.
Place the fitted bottom sheet properly on the mattress. It is better for this sheet to be thin and white, as white easily matches all colors. A suitable bottom sheet usually has elastic edges, which help it stay smooth and firmly fixed on the mattress. When choosing a bottom sheet, make sure its size matches your mattress, whether it is single or double, so that it fits snugly and stays in place.
To properly arrange the bottom sheet:
Pull the sheet from the two top corners of the bed.
Then stretch and smooth out the two bottom corners.
Tuck the bottom sheet between the mattress and the box spring. If the size is correct, it will fit easily into place.
If you cannot arrange the bottom sheet on your own, ask a family member for help.
Spread the top sheet over the bottom sheet. The color of the top sheet should be coordinated with the bottom sheet. This sheet is usually larger than the mattress, and its length should be enough to hang over the sides of the bed.
To properly arrange the top sheet:
Tuck the bottom end of the top sheet under the mattress so it is secured between the mattress and the box spring.
Take one of the bottom corners, lift the hanging edge, fold it neatly, then tuck it back inside to create a vertical fold. This is known as a “hospital corner.”
Repeat the same process for the other bottom corner.
Pull the sheet tightly to make the surface smooth.
Finally, tuck the remaining edges of the top sheet firmly around the mattress so it stays in place.
Spread the blanket over the top sheet. Make sure the longer side of the blanket aligns with the longer side of the mattress.
Create hospital corners with the bottom edges of the blanket.
Tuck the bottom corners of the blanket under the mattress.
Smooth the surface of the blanket by tucking it around the edges of the mattress.
Fold about 30 cm of the top sheet over the blanket.
After smoothing the top sheet, tuck both sides under the mattress as well.
If the bed is used frequently, it is better to tuck only the two bottom corners, because tucking all four corners can make it harder to get in and out of bed.
Spread the bedspread over the bed. It is not necessary to tuck it in; both sides should hang evenly.
Place two pillows on the bed. The pillows should be of equal size. For a more attractive look, use pillowcases, and if the bed is very large, you may use three pillows.
For a more professional arrangement, combine sleeping pillows with decorative cushions. First place the pillows you sleep on, then add two or three large square pillows, and finally three to five small decorative cushions on top. To avoid a cluttered look, leave some space between the cushions and pillows.
In cold weather, the blanket is usually used as the final cover on the bed, while the duvet is placed decoratively at the foot of the bed. In warm weather, the duvet can be used as the main cover, and the blanket may only be used for decoration.
For a more stylish arrangement, you can sometimes use a bed runner instead of a blanket at the foot of the bed.
To keep your bedroom neat and clean, make your bed every day.
