Do you have your own side of the bed?

[RomanticFatigue]

It seems people are shocked that couples change sides of the bed. Do you? I have my side of the bed in my home, but sleep on the opposite side at DPs. I'd never thought of it before reading this article!

I sleep on the right. Originally because it meant dh was near the door and would be murdered first. With room moves and house moves the right hand side is now by the door.
I sleep under the quilt

I sleep on the right. When DH and I met, he slept on the right.

There was a brief discussion. He changed to sleeping on the left

We have sides. I prefer the side where the bedside table is on my right as I'm right handed and it's easier to grab things like cups of tea with my right hand.
We also have 2 single mattresses pushed together so not easy to sleep in the middle.

We have a side of the bed, a side of the sofa and a side of the dining table. Dh is always on my right.

@BlueSkiesLies we have one 😂

we recently went on holiday and it was a standard double.....we were nearly divorced after the first 2 nights!

Anyone else concerned about @C0untDucku1a whereabouts? Perhaps her DP didn't notice her when he got in bed and squashed her?

@chesterfuckingdraws isn't it annoying when holidays away are less comfy than your own bed?!?

Don't mind what side but dh always sleeps closest to the door- he thinks I'm kind and letting him have the easiest route to the toilet but like a few pp I do it so he gets murdered first.

We have been sleeping on the same side of the bed for forty years, can't see us ever changing. However, when one of us is ill and sleeps in the spare room we always use the side of the bed nearest the door. That's not my normal bed side but somehow when I sleep in there I don't mind

We have separate beds

When we do share, dh is always by the window, as long as he’s by the window all is ok which could be us sleeping on different sides depending on which room we are in.

So in the master bedroom (looking at the bed) dh is on the right, in the spare room (looking at the bed) dh is on the left.

Sides have swapped with house or room moves, in hotels we don't have sides

We swap sides depending on who's getting up first in the morning - one side is against the wall.

I always sleep on the right, I did this even before I met DH.

If we go to a hotel or something we always just naturally go for ours sides of the bed

I've always slept on the left, DH on the right. Suits us as I am nearer the window and DH nearer the loo for night time visits!

I have sides with my husband (and if he's not there I shove his pillow on the floor and sleep in the middle).
I sleep on the other side if I visit my friend or if we go away and share a bed in a hotel.

Been widowed for years and still sleep on my side of the bed. I realised how ridiculous this was only last week when I was so near the edge I nearly fell out. I'm still perched there now though even as I type

Separate beds and bedrooms!

We have our own sides but might have to swap on holiday if "my side" is against a wall or there isn't much of a gap. I cant bear being hemmed in and can't climb over dh if I have to get up for the bathroom or of DS needs me.

We always sleep on the same side, and it's unrelated to doors etc. Not sure why we picked that side, thinking back a loooooong time ago, I always slept on the other side when I lived with my ex.

We're getting a new mattress soon which has different tensions on each side. For the first few weeks we're supposed to turn it regularly (but then won't have too afterwards), and the woman in the shop mentioned that we'll have to swap sides of the bed when we do that - I don't know how we'll cope!

We sleep on whichever side sometimes left sometimes right. Don't really feel it makes much difference
What? But what about the bedside table with my water and hand cream and my book? I don’t want his nasty tangle of chargers and some book about a war that happened hundreds of years ago.
And we have different pillow needs.

This swapping is wrong and bad, and I expect dangerous too. How can it not matter? I fel off kilter just thinking about it.

The first time my boyfriend stayed over at mine he got into my side of the bed I had to politely ask him to move over. To his credit he did without question and hasn't repeated it!

So, even as a single person I had my own side.

SouthernComforts - The first time a boyfriend stops over it’s traditional to spend some time on the same side of the bed!

I have three dogs. The smallest sleeps down the bottom, sometimes snuggling my feet, the middle sized one sleeps in the crook of my legs.

However the big one thinks he's a human bloke and sleeps alongside me, either on his back or spooning with me.

He prefers to sleep on the right of me and will push and paw at me should I try to sleep on his side.

I happily oblige him as it makes me smike/laugh every morning when I open my eyes and his head is alongside mine on a pillow just like a bloke!

Always sleep on the same side and facing outwards (no matter where doors or windows or space is) but that’s to do with being a side sleeper and hatento sleep facing into the bed.
Have been known to sleep with head at foot of bed where necessary to achieve this (sleeper bunks/ship cabins/one ultimate flight upgrade to a bed !). Just can’t sleep on other side.

I’ve never had a certain side to sleep one, what if you’re really comfy, cuddling after sex etc, would you stop it to move to the other side of the bed?
