Who folds up your sofa throws at the end of the night?

[Opol]

We have invested in 2 gorgeous velvet sofas from Loaf. They look gorgeous when the cushions are plumped and the throw blankets are folded.

I often go up first and ask DH and kids to tidy away blankets and arrange throw cushions (2 on each sofa) before coming up. 9/10 they don’t which just makes the room look crap. So it falls to me every morning. Tbh I’m the only one that cares.

What happens in your house?

I generally do it before going to bed.

I've got Loaf velvet sofas too. ( They are really easy to spot clean btw).

I fold the throws in the morning. It takes about 2 seconds and I couldn't get worked up about it.

I can't really say we have a throw/ cushion routine. I guess whoever is tidying the lounge would tidy the cushions if they needed to be

Single parent…so me…

This is a bugbear in my house .... glasses/coffee cups left on the side, throws on the floor, cushions skewed. They'd live in a tip if I died.

Same as yours. I go to bed first, which means when I get up in the morning I tidy the throws & cushions as hubby & teens can't seem to manage!
I don't even ask them to fold them all, a couple go in the pouffee but it seems that's too hard for them too!

Anyone who notices/can be bothered. We definitely don't do it every day.

I tidy the sofa and plump the cushions if I’m off to bed last, if DH is last he doesn’t because he doesn’t care. It’s no biggie, I then do it in the morning. It really is one of those inconsequential examples where the most fastidious person who gives a shit has to expect to shoulder the task.

Yep it’s whoever is tidying I guess. We only have a throw on the sofa for added warmth/ comfort though.

There are some things in a home that need doing - like clothes in the washing basket, dishwasher filled, mess tidied away etc etc but I think folding a throw is surely just so cosmetic that the people who do it should be care about it.

Nobody. Sometimes I fold the blankets in the morning, sometimes they just stay where they are. Cushions get chucked back on a couple of times a day but actually plumped and re-arranged about once a month.

None of us are bothered by it.

I do it when I get up. As I get up first and go to bed first. To be honest, my husband would have no issue with them just laying there.

It’s just annoying as it’s another “me only job” to add to the list.

I’m the only one that folds throws and plumps cushions in our house.

DH - never
DS - daily, when prompted. Results may vary.
Me - every evening and throughout the day at weekends

I think that's fair in this instance. It's only aesthetic as opposed to hygenic so if nobody else is bothered I don't think they should have to be.

for me it’s a job I chose to do, as it is simply aesthetics.

It's me. It's always been me and it will be me until the end of time.

I want pics! I've reached the age where the thought of a new sofa is exciting :-)

I’ve also tried to get them all to shove the blankets in to the ottoman if they can’t be arsed to be folded. Even that is too much.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask to expect to come down to a tidy room.

YABU for using the word “invested” when you mean bought.

no one. We’ve got dogs so we leave the throws covering the sofa to keep it clean and it get a steadily more skrunkly from being sat on over the course of a week or two. Then I wash it and put a fresh one on. I’m really not arsed about folding and plumping

Nobody

DDog sleeps on the sofa, so if we ever straighten it, it's in the morning.

Nobody.
I use the throws and I really don't care about folding them up.

This is not essential housekeeping.

Same Here mostly because I’m the only one that is bothered by it.
