What is the right way of saying that you put a bedsheet on a mattress. Do you put it on, lay it on or spread it on a mattress? If it’s neither of the 3 please tell me what is the right word. I’m confused m. Thanks!

In the UK any of your three verbs would be fine. 'Spread' is perhaps the most descriptive of the three, but I don't think it's used more often than the others. Oddly, the complete operation of putting sheets and blankets or duvet on a bed is called 'making the bed'.

Thanks for your answer! I’ve heard all 3 being used that’s what was confusing me about which one is the most widely used. Isn’t making a bed generally used when your bed is already made but messed up like in the morning and you just straighten everything out. I wanted to know what you use when there’s nothing on the mattress.

You're quite right: 'making the bed' can be used either for 'starting from scratch' with clean sheets or for mere straightening.

You can also make up the bed when it's being done from scratch: "We can make up the bed in the spare room if you want to spend the night."
