to never make the bed?

[CailinDana]

Well, am I?

Yanbu. I make my bed if my house is up for sale and people are viewing.

No. I never bother either. Why make up a bed in a room which stays empty all day?

I never make mine .

YANBU

You load of scutters! :o

Make mine every day. Would hate getting into crumpled sheets. Just you wait till Get Orf sees this-she puts clean sheets on every day!

No. Only, possibly, if you are home the entire day.

You should pull the sheets down, though, to let them breath.

Totally up tp you but I make mine as I find it very depressing looking at and getting into an unmade bed - chacun a son gout.

Sheets breathe??

YANBU, at least it's well aired.

IWBU if I didn't make mine, find getting into an un-straightened bed most depressing.

People who 'dress' their beds are BU, IMHO. But, I suppose it makes them happy.

DH makes ours

I can never be arsed

YANBU. I make the bed when DH is home otherwise I often don't bother. I'm only going to get back into it and mess it up again.

You need to pull sheets back for an hour or so to cool the. Bed down and make it a little less hospital for bed bugs and other critters

Seriously bad...

I use fitted sheets , so no crumples

I'd keel over and die if DH dressed the bed. On sheet-changy day I strip the bed and leave it bare until we go to bed, then DH and I dress it together. I have to break the fact that the bed is bare to DH very very gently - he bloody hates dressing beds.

All the duvets in ourhouse are flicked back neatly and left like that to let the beds air properly.

Hospitable not hospital

How does that work the blushing? I use fitted sheets and get plenty of crinkles.

I'll be honest, it's rare that I make the bed as soon as I wake up (though will usually put the duvet straight etc) however if I haven't made the bed I will still do so before going to sleep. :)

This is more applicable in places where I have a top sheet and duvet, like back home in the US. I like to have the top sheet tucked in properly, if it's there. Here in the UK we don't have a top sheet (DH is from Germany and they tend to just have duvets with covers, so have become used to that) so it's not really applicable.

I have to pull the bottom sheet tight, again after I get up. then turn back the duvet and open the window to air the bed.

Window cleaners can see your unmade beds.

Bad news wheresmymilk - if you're unlucky enough to have bed bugs no amount of airing will stop them thriving.

I must lay flatter than you

No YANBU. Making beds is a waste of time, like ironing.

If we are not in it it's airing.
Although at the moment our en-suite is being redone so I pull the covers up when the plumber's coming. The bed doesn't know what's hit it.

Oh that reminds me, I must find a window cleaner

But if you were to go missing in mysterious circumstances a photograph of your bedroom would be printed in the Daily Mail. Fact.

That's where you cheat and but all the anti-bedbugs pillows, duvets and mattress covers you can find! Dunelm has done well out of me!

Still air the bed and then make it though :o
