I'm with Silly Susan. I live alone with my Great Dane. He loves putting his head on a pillow, so I throw the quilt up over the pillows hoping I won't have dog hair on my pillows, But he manages to"scooch" the quilt down so he can get to the pillows anyway. No point in making a big fuss over making the bed when it gets "unmade" often during the day.

I put my electric blanket on first then my heavy quilted blanket which acts as a comforter. The two of them keep me nice and warm. The blanket is a king size on a twin size bed, so I lift the mattress onto its side, put the quilted blanket over it and drop the mattress back onto box springs, this holds the blanket in place. I get up in the morning, I flip the two blankets up, most of the time I pick up the pillows and put it under the pillows. Mainly because the whole back side is tucked under the mattress. When I sleep upstairs in my king size bed, I pull everything up, then put my pillow shams on top to look nice. For me. I do only straighten my bed because everything stays in place except for the corner that I turn down to sleep

This is how I do it also - easy peasy!
I have pillowcases that coordinate with my quilts. I put the quilt down flat, the sleeping pillows next to the headboard, and the pillows with coordinating pillow shams in front of the sleeping pillows (sort of hiding them). That way we don't have to take the shams off every night and put them on in the morning. We put the pillows with shams on the floor when we go to bed.
