Making your bed

So what's on your bed? I had a friend who only used a quilt over a fitted sheet and I remember finding that odd- but it is SO much easier to make the bed that way!

When I met DH he was sleeping between two quilts. I nearly because he did not own sheets. Such a bachelor.

Re: Making your bed

I dont know why, but DH and I are anti top sheets. I just have a comforter and a bunch of throw pillows

Re: Making your bed

We have a sheet blanket and comfiter but we only sleep under the blanket, the sheet stays tucked in and the comfiter comes off the bed.

Re: Making your bed

I hate flat sheets. We only use a fitted and then a duvet with lots of pillows

Re: Making your bed

Depends on the season.

Winter: sheet - 2-3 blankets - comforter (we keep the house chilly)

Summer: sheet - comforter

Fall and spring vary depending upon the temperature.

Re: Making your bed

we don't use a top sheet in the winter at our apartment. we each use our own comforter though since we are each blanket hogs.

so we have fitted sheet, comforter, comforter.

Re: Making your bed

alot of people seem to not like a top sheet. Well the comforter is hard to wash (so big) & now it touches your body @ night & needs to be washed.
A sheet is so easy. DH has learned to embrace the sheet.

Prior to DH, I had a blanket always. DH is always hot & now he keeps me warm so I don't need it anyway.

Re: Making your bed

fitted sheet, top sheet, quit and then a blanket to prevent the cat hair from invading oh, and when she pukes (cause cats puke) so likes to do it on our bed easier to wash the blanket thats on top than the big, heavy quilt!

Re: Making your bed

hubby never had a flat sheet or a blanket; just fitted sheet and comforter... i always had a fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket in winter and comforter on top

we use flat and fitted sheets now and i have to admit, he is such a hog that it is annoying making the bed in the morning because he spaghetti twirls the fitted sheet all around him somehow, and i have to retuck etc to make the bed every day...

Re: Making your bed

When I was single I slept on a fitted sheet with just a comforter but now that I have learned to compromise because of this marriage thing I sleep with a sheet & comforter

I thought this picture was appropriate for the topic

Re: Making your bed

top sheet and a blanket

i take the comforter off the bed every night and only wash it at the beginning of each season, unless it gets dirty for some reason.

Re: Making your bed

I use a fitted sheet (no top sheet- it always ends up at my feet anyway so I dont see the point) then I have 2 thin blankets one is a thin knit . The comforter gets rolled down and is only for "decoration"

Re: Making your bed

Fitted sheet, flat sheet, then comforter

I absolutely can not sleep with out a flat sheet. I don't know how my DH can sleep with just a comforter or blanket...

Re: Making your bed

I never in my life used a sheet under my comforter until I shared a bed with DH. He's convinced it's a jewish thing to not use a sheet under the comforter.

Re: Making your bed

We have top sheet, blanket, then a comforter/quilt depending on the season.

I LOVE in the summer to turn down the bed in the air conditioned room...then the sheets are so nice and chilly when you get into bed

Re: Making your bed

Fitted sheet, light blanket, duvet. Never was a fan of flat sheets.

Re: Making your bed

Fitted sheet, top sheet, velux blanket (for all seasons), a heavier blanket (when it is colder out) and the comforter (we don't use the comforter when we sleep).

Re: Making your bed

we have a fitted sheet on the bottom. In the winter, my side is the sheet, my own conforter and the shared duvet. In the winter, DH has a blanket, then his own comforter then the shared duvet.

In the summer, we lose the duvet and he looses the blanket. Though I usually just lose a sheet. It is always FREEZING in our bedroom though.

p.s. DH isn't Jewish but he HATES using a sheet And I HAVE to have a sheet, at least a sheet. So it works out well that I get the sheet and he doesn't lol

I want to get rid of the comforter and get a down blanket with a duvet cover. That's how I'm used to sleeping.
I hate the top sheet - it gets all tangled up because of the way DH sleeps.

Re: Making your bed

We sleep under the flat sheet, blanket and comforter.

Re: Making your bed

I have to have a flat sheet with the corners tucked in (DH untucks his so his feet feel "free"). I'm weird about my bed and it would freak me out not to have something between me and the comforter. Plus I like that I can wash my top sheet regularly... I'd think it would be a PITA to have to wash the comforter that frequently!
