I hate bedsocks!

[Singingasong]

It’s freezing in my house tonight so I’ve dug out the bedsocks. I’ve told the dc to put theirs on but I’ve taken mine off as they are so uncomfortable!

Use your ordinary socks in bed, instead?

What are bed socks?
I mean, why can’t you just wear normal socks? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of bed socks before, sorry if I’m being thick 😂

What are bed socks?!

For what it’s worth this is the first winter in all my decades that I’ve bought thermal socks - nice thick M&S ones - and can’t believe how much warmer my feet are. I also sleep much better with them on when it’s this cold.

How are they uncomfortable? They are really soft and fluffy and loose and warm. I love mine.

I love my bed socks.

You need a hot water bottle instead. I've only ever worn bedsocks when camping and a hot water bottle wasn't available

I have bed socks instead of slippers but wear regular socks in bed when it's cold

I love my bed socks.
Now it’s dark so early I am in my pyjamas, dressing gown and bed socks by 9pm.
Normal socks just don’t have the cosy factor that bed socks do.

How have people never heard of bed socks? I’m feeling really old now!

They’re just looser fitting socks, sort of fleecy or similar. They’re brilliant for when you’re lounging on the sofa, but I find them annoying when I’m bed as they end up twisting around and hanging off my feet.

Bed socks are generally looser and more comfortable IME.
I like bedsocks if I have to get into a cold bed but usually take them off once I've warmed it up.
But now I've got an electric blanket so I rarely have to do that now. My bedroom is quite cool but I'm toasty. <smug as a bug in a heated rug>

I can't stand wearing socks in bed - it's a sensory thing. Even when I'm camping and it's cold enough to wear a hat to bed I will still go barefoot in my sleeping bag. Luckily, I don't seem to get freezing cold feet.

Thanks for the explanation @ErrolTheDragon - definitely never heard of these but my regular socks are comfortable (actually now trying to think of how socks could be uncomfortable 😂), I sleep naked so no bed clothes of any description for me, don’t own a single pair of pjs!

They’re big fluffy socks, meant to keep your feet warm in bed, not for everyday as you wouldn’t get your shoes on. I couldn’t wear normal socks in bed either. It feels horrible.

I’m wearing mine now. I was just wiggling my toes trying to decide if they were warm enough to slip them off or not. Sometimes they’re on all night, other times I slip them off in the middle of the night, or before I finally settle to go to sleep. I can’t go to bed without my bed socks on until summer. I just can’t sleep with cold feet.

I dont like socks in bed either op. Of any type.

I hate anything on my arms or feet in bed so have a hot water bottle. Which also comes camping with me!!

So you just mean slipper socks?

No, slipper socks would have a grippy sole. Bedsocks are just fluffier and looser than ordinary socks.

I have been tempted to take a HWB camping but the idea of getting the stove set up to boil water for it is just too much hassle.

I like the look of cashmere bed socks. One of these days I will treat myself.

I hate socks in general. Hate having warm feet.

I find them uncomfortable because they aren't tight enough on my feet. I can't stand bare feet in bed. Gives me the ick. I have to wear socks, as tight as possible on my feet.

I only ever have bare feet in the summer when I wear sandals. And I still wear socks to bed when it's the height of summer.

My toes have gone all funny now thinking about bare feet 🤮

Oh man one of my favourite sensations in the whole world. Get in to bed with bed socks on, sheets feel cold, once it’s warmed up and I’m all sleepy rubbing my feet together like a cricket so the socks slowly slip off. 😂 Pure cosy-sleepy-comfortable joy.

luckily theres no law mandating bed socks - carry on

Menopause & diabetes. I'm boiling at night. Dont get to wear jammies or bed socks or gave hot water bottle 😔

Good. More bedsocks for the rest of us!

I love them, but I do also really like kicking them off once I've warmed up in bed.
