make the bed
Straighten the linens
To make the bed is to arrange the bedding neatly after sleeping—smoothing sheets, tucking corners, positioning pillows.
The task ranges from a quick pull of the comforter to hospital-corner precision.
I make the bed every morning before work.
Making the bed is often cited as a small discipline that sets the tone for the day.
