Do you keep the bed made up all the time? Or strip it down and leave it like that until the day guests are arriving?

I like having it made up in case me or DH would unexpectedly need to sleep in there, and it just looks nicer. The mattress has a big tea stain on it, so leaving it uncovered looks awful.

But if I keep it made up, DS (2.5) gets in there while I'm sorting laundry and jumps on the bed or drools on it or something, so if there were clean sheets on it, I'd have to change them again before people use it. And folding laundry on it, you get bits of lint and stuff...and leaving the sheets on for ages I'd think they'd get a bit musty?

So what do you do with your spare bed?

Stayed with my OHs family for a few days. Pretty much finished packing when we were coming to leave but all our stuff still all over the room and on the bed. Nipped out for lunch before we left drive home and came back to find all our stuff moved and bed stripped and changed. I’m worried that something of ours was left on, in or around the bed, covers or pillows. Driving my ocd crazy. Final nail in the coffin of how my OH’s family has treated us in the past 6 months.any advice?
