Do you make your bed?

**Timbuk2**

I don't. I don't see the point - if you're going to get back into it in 16 hours, why bother making it, just to mess it up again.

However, all my friends say that it looks 'slob'-ish not to do so

What do you think?

Conor108

No

Dress, Shmess


I 'make' it.

I believe the correct term is "making your bed".

StopNotWorking

No

I do but I have very little space in my room so when I'm not sleeping on it, I use it as a work bench of sorts for computers and such. The flatter the better and the less places to lose stuff the better.

But I'm sure this will be one of the weirder reasons..

NothingMan

No

I'm obsessive about it. I got my flat decorated a few years ago and since then i'm a neat freak. I'll even make it if i'm late for work.

Funny thing is i'm really filthy. I never hoover or polish or anything like that, but really neat. A place for everything and everything in it's place! Including the duvet!

Of course. Why, just this morning, I dressed mine in a fetching pair of corduroys and dress shoes.

No, unless somebody has to use it later

No

I don't see the point in dressing myself in the morning, I mean I'm going to be putting on my PJs again in 16 hours, what's the point?

I think the term is 'you can't walk around naked cos you'll get arrested'.

Hank_Jones

No

I make my bed every day, doesn't look right otherwise.

Didn't actually know what was meant by the expression dress the bed , never heard that before.

No

The extend of making the bed for me is shaking out the quilt and laying it nicely on the bed.

Can't stand it when people have oodles of fancy pillows all over the bloody bed :mad:

In my warped mind, dressing the bed means having a fap in it before you get out of it and seeing how much you can spread it before it runs out.

Like salad dressing if you will.

ottostreet

i do actually!

i love the feeling of turning on my electric blanket, having a shower and getting into a nice wellmade bed all warm and cosy!

AnonoBoy

Tonight I'm dressing my bed as a skeleton and bringing it around trick or treating.

icanhearjimi

The missus dresses the bed

No, whats the point. Is there going to ba an inspection or something? Just throw the duvet back over.
Its like people ironing underwear, WHY ?

rotinaj

Mammy does it for me

Kiera

No

Yup always. Its only a matter of shaking the duvet and fixing the pillows.

Same Or just after I've changed the sheets, otherwise I leave it the same as when I woke up

Agricola

No

Always. Ya have to. If not your getting into a bed full of dried up bogeys and hair. :pac: Also the bottom sheet is always in a lump. Needs to be straightened out.

Ruu_Old

Kind of hard to dress a cardboard box, ;_; I just get a new one each night.

Not usually. If I'm tidying my bedroom I'll make the bed but not every day

PFJSplitter

I just can't seem to find 'mattress' sized jeans and runners...:(

how.are.ya

No

I love my bed to be made every day nothing nicer than getting into a fresh clean bed,i think if yoiu dont it says alot about other areas in your live :P

Joey the lips

No

I love the fact that moderators in the majority(by 1) at this point do not make there bed and the have the courage to tell us to stop being dirty!

whatdoicare

No

Nothing is cuddlier than a freshly made bed- I always feel kind of stuffy getting into an unmade bed, like it needs a bit of airing beforehand! Also I hate wakinh up in the morning with the print of creased sheets all over my back and arms and sometimes face!

Hephaestus

Do you make your bed?

No but thats the least of my bed issues!

Being to lazy to wash the sheets - now there's the real issue!

Nope... the beauty of a duvet means you don't have to make it!:D

I don't make it and my excuse is to kill the bed bugs. Not making it makes sure they freeze when i'm not there.

papajimsmooth

Well aint you all fancy with your beds. No recession in this thread anyway.

DubLass

No

hahahah ahummmmm what will I put on my bed today???

sky88

no whats the point

Burning Eclipse

My mother dresses my bed

The 'missus', as you put it OP, does most of the time. Sometimes I do! It's always made, even if she's away for the weekend. Force of habit I guess?

Where the hell is:

5)He fucking does it.
6)The auld lad does it.
7) Dress it in what?



I make and change my own bed tyvm.

Latchy

First thing in the morning it's made .I cant abide getting into a cold messed up bed with sheets and quilt all messed up .

stovelid

My wife sometimes make the bed; I sometimes arrange the bedclothes haphazardly to approximate a surface impression of tidiness until it's time to climb in again.

The missus dresses the bed

Back home I have to, my Mother is a tad obsessive with my room being neat and tidy. In my house in Cork I very rarely do.

Idjit

The missus dresses the bed

No, I don't. Because its actually less hygenic than making it. Think about all those dead skin cells, maybe bits of hair and then the bed bugs...Then you're throwing a lovely warm blanket over the lot for the day,therefore assisting in the multiplication of bedbugs and the bacteria in your own cells....Disgusting. think you'd be LESS of a slob for not making your bed.

IvyTheTerrible

Duvets FTW!

Just pull it over the bed and it looks tidy.
