Get the bottom sheets on beds completely taught?

Have aircon that switches on or off instantly at the push of a button. I seem to book hotels where turning it off turns into a big palaver and I like a quiet room to sleep.

Attaching twin beds so you don't have to have sex on one single bed like a teenager (or have them open up in the middle of it!). It can't be too complicated to have a connector or something to fix the feet together.

Remove large superfluous chairs.

Hav we enough bright light to do your make up.

Provide a duvet that is the right thickness for the room temperature. Duvets always seem to be ridiculously hot.

Just leave the duvet on top of the bed instead of tucking it under the mattress meaning the sheet comes untucked too when you remove it. And the sheet is always a flat sheet that's bit too small to tuck under properly.

Drives me mad too

Provide twin beds in accessible rooms. No idea why they think you want to share a bed with your carer

I found the opposite to be true! I requested an accessible room for my partner and I,asking for a double bed. Was told that they only had 2 single beds in accessible rooms. But you can push them together they said. Have you ever tried that? But what really annoyed me was that instead of having nice cotton sheets on the beds,they had those awful scratchy ones. Not sure what they were made of,I swear they were nylon!

Provide a decent sized cup/mug for tea and coffee. Fed up with the tiny 3 gulp tea cups. Keep forgetting to bring my own mug!

Provide anything to dry a damp towel on. Have plugs in useful places eg. near the mirror. I have taken to packing an extension lead!

I have to admit, I struggle to teach my bottom sheets anything.

Have a room temperature in between freezing and boiling.

Blueuggboots · 16/02/2026 22:36

Provide proper decaf coffee instead of shitty pouches of instant crap.

BlockCable · 16/02/2026 22:33

Have a simple way to switch off lights.

TartanMammy · 16/02/2026 21:54

Put a plug socket near the mirror and next to the bed.

Provide enough hooks in bathrooms. There are never enough to hang dry towels, wet clothes, pyjamas and clean clothes.
