I make my bed every morning. And I use a cushiony matress pad. When I was growing up we couldn't come to breakfast unless we were dressed and our bed was made. My stepfather was in the army, and more than once I came home to find my matress flipped into the floor because my bed wasn't made right. Hospital corners had to be just right and the bed needed to be made so tight you could flip a quarter on it! I loathe bedspreads to this day and prefer comforters/quilts and pillow shams.
