How to Put Sheets on a Bed: Your Complete Guide to Every Size and Style

Making the bed might seem like a simple task, but with various sizes and styles, it can get confusing. How to put sheets on a bed depends on the type of bed and sheets you have. Whether you're tucking in a twin or figuring out a full, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to put sheets on a bed like a professional.

How to Put on Bed Sheets

Putting sheets on a bed is more than just throwing fabric on the mattress. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Preparing Your Sheets

  1. Washing and Drying: Wash and dry the sheets following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure they're fresh and free from wrinkles.
  2. Selecting the Right Size: Match the sheet size with your mattress size for a snug fit.

Fitted Sheets

  1. Start with Corners: Begin by tucking in the fitted sheet at the top two corners, then pull it down and tuck in the bottom corners.
  2. Smooth It Out: Run your hands over the surface to smooth out any wrinkles.
  3. Check the Alignment: Make sure the fitted sheet aligns correctly with the mattress's corners for a perfect fit.

Flat Sheets

  1. Align the Edges: Align the top edge with the head of the bed, leaving enough fabric to fold over your blanket.
  2. Tuck the Sides: Tuck the sides and the foot of the sheet under the mattress, folding the corners neatly.
  3. Final Touches: Adjust the flat sheet to ensure it's even on both sides for a symmetrical appearance.

How to Put Sheets on a Bunk Bed

Bunk beds present unique challenges when it comes to making them. Here's how:

Dealing with Height

  1. Use a Step Stool: If the bunk bed is too tall, use a step stool to reach comfortably.
  2. Start from the Top Bunk: Always start from the top and work your way down, as it's easier to access the top first.

Tight Spaces

  1. Use Slim Fitted Sheets: Sheets designed for bunk beds usually have shallower pockets that fit the typically thinner bunk bed mattresses.
  2. Involve a Second Person if Needed: If it's too tight to tuck the sheets, ask someone to help hold the mattress while you tuck the sheets.
  3. Be Gentle with Corners: Bunk beds may have tighter corners, so be gentle to avoid tearing the fabric.
  4. Final Inspection: Check that the sheets are evenly spread without any bunching or loose corners.
