But be honest. Do you actually make your bed\u00a0<em>every\u00a0<\/em>day? We&#8217;re not ashamed to say that\u00a0on occasion we forget and end up sleeping\u00a0in a messy pile of blankets.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s a problem you&#8217;d like to live without, a Montreal-based startup\u00a0has the perfect solution. It&#8217;s designed a\u00a0product called Smartduvet, and when you integrate it with your existing bedding you&#8217;ll be left with a bed that makes itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-5.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[160522]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-160545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-5-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"making bed app 5\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screenshot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet\/Kickstarter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-3.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[160522]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-160543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-3-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"making bed app 3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screenshot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet\/Kickstarter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wondering how it works? The technology is actually surprisingly simple, although there&#8217;s a little\u00a0set up required.\u00a0Every Smartduvet kit includes an inflatable sheet that&#8217;s designed to be placed between a duvet and duvet cover \u2014 made of &#8220;very thin and lightweight space age material,&#8221; the sheet allows for natural air circulation and won&#8217;t weigh down the\u00a0duvet it&#8217;s being used with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-4.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[160522]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-160544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-4-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"making bed app 4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screenshot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet\/Kickstarter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once the inflatable\u00a0sheet is in place, it&#8217;s hooked up to an air blower via a tube. At that point, it&#8217;s ready to go. All you have to do is\u00a0use the Smartduvet app to set\u00a0a time for your bed to make itself \u2014 when the time you&#8217;ve chosen rolls around, the sheet will slowly inflate, pushing your duvet back into place. Just don&#8217;t forget to set a later time\u00a0if you like to sleep in on the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[160522]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-160541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-1-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"making bed app 1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screenshot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet\/Kickstarter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[160522]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-160542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-bed-app-2-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"making bed app 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Screenshot: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet\/Kickstarter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you think you&#8217;d like your\u00a0own self-making bed, you&#8217;ll want to get involved in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/857840278\/smartduvet-the-self-making-bed-is-here\/description\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Smartduvet Kickstarter campaign<\/a>.
