@AlanF_US, does it mean "make the bed", "fold your bed clothers into a roll" or something else?

It means "fold your bedclothes", but not into a roll (which would be "roll up your bedclothes"). The end result of folding bedding is something rectangular, not round. To make a bed means to lay out the bedding on the bed neatly in preparation for use rather than to remove it from the bed in preparation for washing.

@AlanF_US, thanks, I think I got the meaning. I.e. in the train, the conductor tell you: "your station will be soon, it's time to fold up your bedding", isn't it?

I guess so, though I've never slept on a train. :)

@CK, from Vladivostok to Moscow? That's really amazing.
