iRubric: How to Make a Bed rubric

Stretch the top two corners of the fitted sheet over the two corners at the top end of the mattress.

Spread the flat sheet over the bed face down - meaning the finished surface should be against the fitted sheet and the unfinished surface should be visible.

Tuck the bottom end of the sheet under the mattress, making sure it's smooth and not crumpled.

Continue to tuck the rest of the sheet along that side under the mattress, leaving a foot or two untucked at the top end.

Spread the blanket over the bed, aligning its long sides with the mattress's long sides.

Tuck the bottom end of the blanket under the bed as you did with the flat sheet, making sure not to crumple the edges and creating vertical folds at the corners.

Fold the loose portion at the top of the flat sheet over the blanket, smooth it out, and tuck in both sides.
TIP: If you have a comforter or thick quilt, you don't need to tuck it in - just place it atop the flat sheet.

And finally, put the pillows in pillowcases and position them at the top of the bed.
