retuck

Redo the tucking

To retuck is to tuck something again—typically bedding or clothing that has come loose.

Parents retuck children into bed after nightmares.

You might retuck a shirt that's come untucked, or retuck sheets that have pulled free from the mattress: She retucked the blanket around his shoulders.
