bedmaking
Morning mattress tidying
Bedmaking is the act of arranging bedding—sheets, blankets, pillows—into a tidy state after sleeping.
The skill was once emphasized in domestic training and remains a point of discipline in military and boarding school contexts, where standards may be exacting: The sergeant inspected the recruits' bedmaking.
