Which side of the bed?

Jesus Wept

Ok...

If and when you share a bed with someone*, which side of the bed do you prefer** to sleep on.


(from the prospective of if you were standing at the foot of the bed while looking at the top of the bed, left is ...left and right is right. )


I speculate that the female population on average favour one particular side moreso than the other, possibly the men too.

Note: It's which side you prefer, not which side your other half told you are sleeping on because they wear the trousers.


This poll is public.***

*If you happen to be Hugh Hefner, or are you from a very 'close' family and share a bed with more than 1 person, start your own thread.

**It's possible people started out with a preference for one side but were beat into submission by their partner and now are used to and favour the side they were/are stuck with.

The dry side..

Varies depending on bed, generally the inside, beside the wall

I'm a WOMAN and I prefer the LEFT side of the bed.

This is truly advanced thinking. Congrats Sir!


This thread should be moved to the demographics forum after it runs its course.

Closest to the door for the man of course.

crosstownk

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

I don't know how true it is, but I remember reading somewhere that women always prefer to sleep nearest the window. I've no idea why or what the source was, but I thought I throw it in..............

It all depends who's where after doing the bad thing

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

In keeping with your theory, I prefer the LHS, because i sleep on my RHS and prefer to have a clear space in front of me. Always have and always will. Never noticed it 'til my psychologist aunt pointed it out to me once.*

In direct contradiction with your theory, my 'ball of snot' also prefers the LHS, but being a man, ends up sulking after I've forced her onto her'real' side.

*Cue loadsof "OMG, you are so right, i always sleep on my left/right hand side and never noticed that before"

Does it matter if you're left or right handed?
I'm male and right handed and prefer to sleep on the left side... Does that make a difference?

humbert

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

Very strange, I've never given it the slightest thought but every time I can recall I've ended up on the left, weird.

I think what the poll proves is that if you say a woman likes one thing you can be damn sure she'll say she likes the opposite

I sleep on the right hand side nearest the window. I can still get out that side.

The four options you listed are fine. No need for the pointless Atari Jaguar.

Exactly! I have been known to completely redesign a bedroom & turn the bed around just so that hubby sleeps nearest to the door & I still get the left hand side of the bed..... if a mad axe murderer breaks in one night, then hubby will get chopped first.....:D

I would of thought they would prefer to have their man between them and the window, in case of big bad scary robbers's, etc.

No actually, I was going to ask you how long you have been sleeping with your Aunt.

^ Which most times seems to be the right side also!

bronte

I have a gender, and I'd rather curl up on the floor with my ATARI JAGUAR, tbh.

I seem to favour the right hand side for some reason.

Terry

Women seem to prefer the side beside the wall.

I like to sprawl out in the middle of a bed when I'm not sleeping on the couch.

I prefer the right side of the bed because there is a wall there, more enclosed and comfortable

Haha! I'm the only wimmin preferring that side at the minute!

meglome

I have no side, either is fine by me. I usually sleep on the right side because the girlfriend gets up before me and it's easier to get out from the left side. So can we have an option for either?

LOL

I don't know why but I seem to prefer the right hand side. No double bed for me at the moment though, just a little single bed that my feet stick out the end of.

arybvtcw0eolkf

This one is serious!.

Me 6'2'' & 120kgs

She 5'4'' and 50kgs.

I love her falling asleep on top of me, & believe it or not we sleep entwined most of the night.

We're usually interlaced in someway and not one of us has a dominate side of the cheriot.

Senna

I sleep on the LHS, because "i cant go left"

















You need to have seen the Seinfeld episode to understand.

Jigsaw

On the right hand side from the sleepers point of view and facing the right as well. I love a double bed but regardless of the size of the bed I always end up hanging off the right hand side.

Which would depend on if you sleep on your back of front.

C'mon, the brief wasn't that hard...

Irish Wolf

Where's the "I'm a gender, and I like to spend my dreamy sleepy nighty snoozy snooze time in a random place between the toliet place and the bed place" option?

Ruu_Old

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

Side nearest the door, so left side. Sometimes diagonally across the bed and then I get a kick in the leg or elbow in the side from the wife.

In Limerick where it belongs.

Heehee... Let's see where I wakey wake in the morning

There's nothing waking up in a random place in your own house..

cson

Hey! I'll hear no bad spoken against my adopted home! We don't have beds for the most part anyway, just hay for bedding. And I sleep face down ftw.

Alessandra

whichever side I want, always.

echter

i don't have a choice, single bed

The Hill Billy

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

Side nearest the door, which has been the left side in both places we've lived.

Bex81

Left or right doesnt bother me, but I have to sleep on the side furthest from the wall - I guess I like more space. Unless, that is, I allow another person in, in which case the male always seems to take the side closest to the door regardless of the floor space in between. Big protective man thing I guess...

Maple

I have a gender, and I'd rather curl up on the floor with my ATARI JAGUAR, tbh.

I voted RHS of bed as thats the side i start on, then i move to the LHS and usually end up sleeping in the middle sprawled out like a star fish.

But with my ex I always slept on the LHS of the bed.

JungleBunny

I'm a WOMAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

The left hand side of the bed, but only because that is furthest away from the door in our bedroom.

Pighead

When Pigheads at home and he fancies a bit of shuteye it'd generally be the whole of the bed. One big spreadeagled mass of Pighead.

When Pigheads feeling pervy and lecherous it'd generally be the right hand side.....
of my housemates wardrobe. Pighead likes to watch.

kmick

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

Women should be kept to the left as they are sinister.

Cheese Princess

Star shape in the middle of the bed whenever possible, or diagonal across.

Unfortunately I have to make room for the boy so don't get to do it often enough.

I don't like choosing sides, makes things more "settled":eek: I prefer to randomly sleep on different sides every night.

Aura

Generally just whichever side is closest to the door. Though it does have the drawback of being the last usually to switch off the light. So closest to the door with bedside lamp really.

Why do you hate women? Did your sister beat you as a child? Were you a child of Margaret Thatchers 1980's English nightmare? Did Beruthial ban you from Personal Issues? Tell us your woes brother kmick,

Sleepy

I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.

When sleeping alone it's the RHS which in my room is closest to the door though when sharing a bed I prefer the LHS.

You may prefer sleeping on the LHS when sharing a bed but at the end of the day you know as well as Pighead that you'll sleep on whatever side your mother tells you to.

the hunter

there was a study done somewhere (america most likely) on this subject and a poll on the radio (today fm) and it was about dominance and when you think about it most men are on the left and thats the driving seat ????
