I let it"breathe" for a little bit, then I go in and make it  and put the piles of pretty pillows back in the precise order. If there's ever the rare day I don't get to it, I make it just before getting into it at night ...because I'm OCD (:

The bed is made every day when I first get up.

The alarm goes off....I jump in the shower.....get out, dry off......go make the bed.

I always lived in an apartment, so it was imperative that I made my bed.  But then I bought a house (didn't really need it, but I did).  So, every morning after I got up and got ready, I went downstairs and had breakfast and fixed my lunch.  Then I went to work. 

 

And for 16 years my bed was just never made unless I had guests.

 

Then I downsized, sold the house, and moved into my own one bedroom apartment.  Now the bed is being made again every day.

I always make the bed.  I can't stand a bed that looks messy.

 

If I'm visiting someone's home and see an unmade bed it "bugs" me.

I used to make my bed every day.  For probably the last year, maybe more, I haven't made it.  I make it if someone's coming over and on the day that I wash the sheets.  Occasionally I'll make it other days.  It definitely makes the room look nicer.  The rest of my house is extremely neat and clean.  I'm almost OCD that way.  I don't know why I don't particularly care about my bed.  I've got a really nice quilt and pillow shams.  It's a shame I rarely see them on my made up bed.

I make my bed daily.  

 

When I had a dog, who had a dog bed and a full sized bed in the spare room AKA his room, I made his bed too.  

 

Come to think about it, I make my bird's bed, rofl.

I always make the bed in the morning, but I don't do it immediately upon rising. I shake the sheets and pillows and let it "air out" a bit while I do a few things before breakfast. The bed gets dressed before I do, though!
