First you will need  your bed sheets; an under sheet, a top sheet,a blanket,pillow slips and pillow cases depending on the number of pillows you have, a mattress cover to protect the mattresses from stains and of course the bed cover to protect the linen from dust when not in use during the day and also so that the bed will look elegant when not in use. Of course you can add more sheets or blankets depending on the climate of the country you are in. This standard I am going to share with you is for the tropical countries.

Here's how we do the bed makeup. First lay down your mattress cover. Mattress cover could be as big as the size of the bed a bit thick with garters at the four side to hold it. This will serve as protector of your mattresses from stains and other liquids. Then lay down your under sheets, right side up. Tuck the top and bottom end under the bed then make a lighter on the four edges and tuck the sides under two. Then lay down the top sheet up to the head of the bed and wrong side up. Followed by the blanket up to one and a half feet lower than the head of the bed. Fold down the top sheet up to that edge of the blanket,then make another slanting fold. Tuck the bottom edge of the top sheet and the blanket under that bed then make the mightier on both edges then tuck the sides but loosely. Then put pillowslip on your pillows them put the pillowcases and position them on the head of the bed. Then put your bed cover on top when you are not to use your bed yet.
