And it’ll take a matter of minutes for all tht hard work to go POOF once the doors open to whoever’s using the space.

You sound like you don't make your bed in the morning.

if a bed doesn't get made in the forest, does anyone care.

u/HaroldBloominOnion 1d ago

...Yes? Whoever's bed it is. And whoever they sleep in the bed with.

As a chronic bed unmaker, who cares? I'll clean and fold my clothes, I'll wipe down counters after everything. But the bed? Nah. It'll get tossed all around the second I get in, and making it doesn't make it anymore comfortable. Also, who's gonna judge me for it? Certainly not I, and if anyone but my wife and I makes into our bedroom, I don't think that a slightly messy bed is gonna make them think any worse of me or her

I once read that making your bed in the morning fosters a better environment for for bacteria, mite, etc.

I have no idea if that's true, but I'm going to continue to banner that justification.

It makes sense. You're leaving a layer of trapped air between the duvet and the bed sheet

u/zandariii 1d ago

I heard the same. Felt validated in never putting together my bed

u/Threedawg 1d ago

Mythbusters did this decades ago.

There is no difference lol

making it doesn't make it anymore comfortable.

I am going to have to hard disagree there, but I do realize that I may be in the minority here (and that this may be entirely related to my AuDHD). I find a bed with neat sheets and everything well aligned to be far more comfortable than one where the sheets and comforter/ duvet are all jostled and misaligned with one another. I am not going to bother with decorative pillows, or folded blankets at the foot of the bed, or anything pointless like that, but taking the 20-30 seconds to pull everything into alignment and leaving it fairly neat makes it so much nicer and more comfortable for me when I go to bed that evening.

For the same reason that these guys are getting paid to make sure all of these chairs are aligned; some people care about things looking or being right, even if no one else is going to see it.

u/Shoelace1200 1d ago

But everyone who walks into this room is going to see these neatly arranged chairs

u/HaroldBloominOnion 1d ago

And I am going to walk into my bedroom at night and see a made bed? Like above, some people care about things looking or being right, even if no one else is going to see it.

..you actually should not do that. I needs to air out. You lose about a liter of sweat overnight, and your beds warms up. Warm and moist is like the perfect breeding ground for mites. It's unhygienic to make your bed immediately in the morning.

u/hypo-osmotic 1d ago

That's something that I haven't considered before. I assume that the ideal solution isn't to leave your bedding all clumped up but rather remove it from the bed and hang it up?

8

u/TetraDax 1d ago

That would be ideal, yes, but generally leaving it clumped is already enough, provided you change your sheets regularily. It's the moisture in the matress and bed sheet that's the main issue, and than can't escape with the bed fully made.

u/End3rWi99in 1d ago

Please allow me propose this revolutionary idea. How about you make your bed AND change your sheets regularly?

0

u/TetraDax 1d ago

..no, that is again creating the same problem mentioned previously.

1

u/End3rWi99in 18h ago

If you wash your sheets frequently enough there is no problem. This is just an excuse not to make your bed lol

u/deSuspect 1d ago

Why the fuck would I waste my time to do it? Absolutely pointless activity.
