I make the bed. Mostly I pull the sheets and covers up and throw the pillows on top. I guess it comes from my upbringing that it just doesn't feel good to go to bed in an unmade bed. I often take a nap in the afternoon and mess it up but I straighten it up again. It isn't made up perfectly but it is straight and no wrinkles. I don't think I had to make the bed growing up. I think my mother did that but she must have planted some idea in my mind about it. I use a mattress pad also. I use to turn the mattress but I don't do that anymore.
