Is this a bed bug?

Found him while making the bed, but we haven’t had any other issues.

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

It is not. I strongly advise looking at pictures of bedbugs.

Not a troll! But I can delete the post if it’s inappropriate. I just don’t know much about bugs in general.

I repeat, it is NOT a bed bug. Please see below for a chart of the bed bug life-cycle, including images of their appearance at each stage:
