Easily Made Bed

Use a duvet!

The best way to keep your bed made is to have an easily made bed.  Try a European style duvet or comforter cover.  In combination with a fitted sheet, all you need is a down or down alternative comforter and a cover that coordinates with the fitted sheet. No top sheet or blankets are needed.  You can even use an older patterned comforter that you are tired of because the cover hides it. In the morning it takes one tug on each side of the bed to get it made. Throw on the pillows and your done. 

Great for kids too!

This is a particularly good idea for young children.  Any chores they can do themselves, helps you, and positively impacts their self esteem.

Finding sheet sets that have coordinating duvet or comforter covers can be tricky.  Go online for best results.  LL Bean, The Company Store and Pottery Barn Kids are good resources.

Making your bed will take two minutes in the morning but can make you feel better all day. Getting an easy task done, starts your day with a feeling of accomplishment, and can set the tone for the rest of your day.
