If you don’t make your bed every morning, you probably want to, but just don’t have the time or energy, right? We get it, making a bed first thing in the morning, well, who really wants to do that (especially when it’s one of those RV corner beds!)?
There are several reasons you should be making your bed every day, whether it be the bed in your RV or the bed in your sticks-and-bricks home. It helps keep your room clean, it’ll help linens and pillows keep their shape, you might sleep better, and it might help you adopt other everyday habits to make you feel better.

What do you consider making the bed? I flip the sheets and covers back over and consider it made
Dats me 2 Sean!
We are Anytimers in our 60’s and we make our bed everyday in Motorhome or Sticks and bricks and also clean the house windows . It seems the younger the couple the less the beds get made or house windows get cleaned . Please all be smart and safe about the virus,want to see you all on the road enjoying the Great Outdoors.
Concur with your thoughts, you be safe as well, have an enjoyable Thanksgiving everyone!
It’s simple. By making your bed each morning you have accomplished your first task of the day, a good feeling that leads one to larger succeses and greater achievements.
For me, that’s making coffee.
Wife does, I get up 3-4 hours before she does.
Last one up makes bed
Most times I’m up and gone before she gets up, but then she usually fixes it.
A short read, but a very good book, “Make Your Own Bed”.
Wife & I wake up and make the bed together before we start the rest of the day. Two people get the job done in under 3 minutes!
We didnt make our bed. Like all of our furniture we bought it in a furniture store. OK. Actually I make the bed every morning after I do the dishes, and start laundry when needed. By the way, I’m the husband and I enjoy doing those things that most people would consider the “wife’s chore”. Regardless, the bed gets made every day.
thumbs up!
Agreed.
I make my bed every morning. It’s something that 22 years in the U.S. Navy did to me…Lol
Every morning I change the sheets and make the bed.
Enjoy doing laundry?
At home it’s a rare day when the bed isn’t made. In the motorhome with the rear bed beside the bathroom, you have to be on the bed to make it, so it usually doesn’t get made.
Yes – every morning lst thing – I was taught how to live in USAF basic training. I also hang my clothes, buttoned and hanging with the left shoulder out!
Rarely because of many, not a, but many naps during the day.
Multiple naps is key.
Define ‘make’. Because while I throw the covers back up over the pillows, and straighten the comforter at the foot of the bed, I don’t flatten out the pillows or check the ‘hospital corners’. It’s not out of laziness, it’s because my wife and I work opposite shifts, so we essentially ‘hot rack’ four days a week. Now, when we are in the RV, and on the same schedule, she definitely wants the bed made.
We travel in a Class B, so at home I make the bed and on the road I convert it back to a sofa.
Only when traveling. When hunkered down for the winter, why bother?
At home, not really just throw the covers closed, but traveling is a different matter altogether. The big bed is where the dogs like to ride most of the time. If we don’t close it up tight, there is very likely to be sand in it when we want to sleep.
I make my side. The other side belongs to the dog and that’s his responsibility….
Making the bed is unhealthy – google it! You should fold the covers back in the morning to air out your overnight sweat and kill the dust mites.
This makes sense to me. Fresh air cleans things.
Exactly
I make my bed everyday…laying in an unmade bed is the worst…it’s called OCD
I insist on making my bed every morning. I decided I don’t have OCD but I have CDO (there the letters are in order)
I always thought OCD was Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I am not familiar with CDO. What is CDO?
A person with OCD putting the letters in alphabetical order (as they should be)! 😉
The only time I make my bed is after I’ve washed the sheets. Never had an issue sleeping.
Make the what? Just going to have a romp on it a little later on so what’s the point. Oh come on you have heard the song “Afternoon Delight”, really. Ha
; )
I used to romp. I miss romping!
If I didn’t make my bed every morning, my mom and grandmothers would rise from their graves and haunt me!
On doctor’ Orders I don’t make my bed. I have severe allergies and horrible menopausal night sweats. Doc says to leave bed unmade so that it can dry out, as a wet bed encourages mite growth.
Yes, I make the bed every morning. It is the first chore of the day. Getting that done is a good start for the day’s activities. And the room is neat and squared away. (we are full-timers)
It’s already made from the night before. Just slide right back into it
We leave the covers turned down for several hours for the bedding to dry out from any body sweating during the night. By noon we almost always have the covers back in place and bed made.
