Making Bed-Making Easy Place the bed away from the walls so that there is easy access to all sides. Keep only those pillows on the bed that are used to sleep—no decorative pillows and shams. Swap a puffy comforter for blankets and spreads—they are forgiving way to make the bed. Use a top sheet—they are easier to wash than comforters and duvet covers and provide a light blanket when the comforter is too much. Try zippered bottom sheets—they come in two parts and zip together around the edge—no contortions nor awkward mattress lifts to change the bottom sheet.
