A Blind Guide To Making The Bed

from Doing It Blind: Life Skills · host David Gallegos

Send us Fan MailMaking the bed sounds like a “sighted” job, until you break it into touch-based steps you can repeat every day. We’re sharing a practical, blind-friendly method that turns a messy comforter and a pile of pillows into a clean, consistent setup using simple tactile cues, not guesswork.We start with the small detail that changes everything: the comforter tag. That little flag becomes an orientation tool so you always know which corner you’re holding and which color you’re putting on top. From there, we use the bed frame as a straight edge to line up the bottom, then work side to side to pull fabric across the mattress and smooth wrinkles in a way that’s fast, reliable, and surprisingly effective.We also get real about safety and routine. Before you start moving around the bed, put on shoes so you don’t end up with stubbed toes or cuts from frames and objects. Then we show how to create that neat folded-over look at the top by measuring with hand widths, plus an easy system for placing extra pillows by lining them up against the wall and centering by feel. We even point to DVR resources that can help you learn more independent living skills for vision loss.If you found these accessibility tips helpful, subscribe, share this with someone who’s navigating blindness or low vision, and leave a review so more people can find practical daily living skills that actually work.https://www.instagram.com/davidgallegos_doingitblind?igsh=MTF3NDR5c252cjQ4Mg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/16JfZE9N5k/?mibextid=wwXIfr
