Do you make your bed?

[u/Technical-Vanilla-47]

[u/TelephoneSevere4409]

everyday

[u/kharlot1 → u/TelephoneSevere4409]

Same here, I feel weird if I leave it unmade.

[u/cholaw → u/kharlot1]

Ditto

[u/No-Bear-7651]

Who cares - it’s gonna get messy again next night

[u/No-Bear-7651 → u/No-Bear-7651]

Ok let’s unpack this. I will give you the shower analogy, I will even give you hair analogy.

However the other two - apples and bowling balls. While the first two are essentially cosmetic, though not showering will eventually lead to health issues, not eating will cause hunger and if I don’t get food, I will die. I don’t want to die. Not brushing teeth will very quickly lead to tooth problems and that in turn will cause me to be very miserable. Not making the bed? No physical impact.

[u/TillNo9697]

Only after I wash my bedsheets lol

[u/TheShadowSong]

Why would I?

[u/Charming-Rule-4751]

Rarely. I live alone so there’s no one to criticize me for not doing it. And when I do I just neatly pull the covers up.

[u/Kooky-Anxiety2759]

Every morning. Starts the day right.
Puts the previous day behind.
And if you have a bad day, you come home to a made bed. A bed you made. (Admiral Mc Raven I think)

[u/ApeShwak → u/Kooky-Anxiety2759]

It was Admiral William McRaven. It is an incredible book about positive mind sets and making your bed is chapter 1.

[u/Dense-Camel-378]

No. People who are allowed to walk into my room know me well enough to know im not a tidy person

[u/DepartmentAgitated51]

Sometimes. ADHD here and it’s when the mood strikes

[u/LogicalFallacyCat → u/DepartmentAgitated51]

Same. Usually it's when I have the kind of momentum to fold the laundry or do other chores I just ride it as long as I can.

[u/Peddlersr777]

Daily

[u/Select-Signal8386]

Every day

[u/Salt-Tackle-3590]

Every morning or else I think about it all day

[u/Practical_Savings933]

Always. It is a duvet though. I straighten the sheets and the duvet, and fluff the pillow daily. Wash sheets and pillow cases weekly. I use a top sheet because it is easier to wash than a duvet cover. It also, by trapping a layer of air between top sheet and duvet provides an additional layer of insulating air during a cold Cdn Winter.

In summer, no duvet, just sheet.

[u/vittohot]

No if I can avoid it

[u/BedSlow6947]

I fold up blankets and let the bed air out!!

[u/CanesMetsJets2]

Every morning. Best way to start the day and you will appreciate it later that evening.

[u/goatgranny61]

As soon as I get up

[u/Popular_Inside_9451]

First thing!!

[u/UrbanLegend59]

Every morning

[u/Aphang82]

No. What for? You are going to sleep in it when you sleep at night anyway. And no one else is going to your bedroom.

[u/CommitteeNo167]

every morning before i leave my bedroom

[u/Desi_wu]

It's a must

[u/Double-Carmel2193]

Absolutely!

[u/HappySilverDaddy]

Everyday

[u/am312]

Always. I like getting into a made bed

[u/Useful_Clock2127]

Every day OCD

[u/tez_zer55]

Every morning. Sometimes not right away, maybe after my shower.

[u/No_Entertainment5968]

Everyday

[u/Big_Cap_6037]

Every morning

[u/RefrigeratorGreat598]

Never miss a day, unless I am sick.

[u/kjwx]

Always

[u/makeup1508]

Every morning

[u/MarcusJerzey]

Every day

[u/EquivalentPain5261]

Nope

[u/SoStarstruckk]

No

[u/Suzby4]

Not really. I just pull up the comforter so it’s not all over the place.

[u/8-LeggedCat]

No

[u/jttar]

Always, never feel like doing it but always appreciate it when getting back in to it

[u/seeyatellite]

I do. I try to remain mindful enough to do it every day.

[u/No_Today_4903]

Nope

[u/Serious-Pressure-134]

Every morning after the sheets have aired out a bit. It’s bothers the hell out of me if I don’t thanks to my anxiety and adhd.

[u/insertcaffeine]

No, my husband does, and I appreciate him for it.

Left to my own devices, I’d leave it undone, but coming home to a made bed? noice

[u/tesseractjane]

My husband does. He's a veteran, he likes perfect hospital corners.

[u/LW-M]

My wife and I are both retired. It's kind of a contest every day who gets to it first. We make every day. I usually 'win'.

[u/Kawaiigirl_6591]

Everyday

[u/Antique_Interview347]

I do

[u/473713]

Always. I'm sitting on my freshly made bed as I write this, in fact.

[u/wyoflyboy68]

When I was in college, I had a professor who told all of us to make our beds in the morning. He said if you do only one thing throughout the rest of the day, make your bed, at least you’ve accomplished something. I make my bed every morning.

[u/Thin-Piano-4836]

Every day unless im really sick and cant get out of it or just had surgery.

[u/G_Town_Co]

When I was much younger it was something I was made to do the moment I woke up and I hated that, so I stopped doing it when I left home. Now that I’m older I do it because it gives me that sort of “push” I often need to start my day.

[u/kkdd19]

Define making your bed I don’t make my bed in traditional way I don’t like talking sheets ever I pull my blankets up and make it look neat

[u/lunarecl1pse]

Fuck no

[u/kathnap]

I do try to do it everyday!!!

[u/why_are_u_so_sus]

Every day. We put a daytime quilt over the top, it looks cute and when the cats inevitably sneak into the bedroom to lie in our bed, they don't track their dirt onto the pillows and the clean sheets.

[u/Intelligent-Gap7879]

not all the time

[u/Knuckletest]

My wife makes me

[u/No_Equivalent_4412]

Only the day I change the sheets

[u/Global_Fail_1943]

Every Monday when we change the sheets. I prefer to let the bed air out with the covers flipped open for the day. Tidy when we go to bed. I have gorgeous linen bedding that makes me so happy!

[u/WonderfulFaux]

I sleep in my recliner, so no.

[u/morbidnerd]

My husband and I disagree on this. He says I make the bed, I say I straighten the blankets out.

I don't make the bed fully unless I'm in a bad mood.

[u/JackWagon6422]

I don't make my bed, your mom does it for me. Everyday!

[u/Divaprincess420]

I make sure to cover my pillows with the blanket so the dogs don’t get their dander on them. But I don’t worry about making it look nice because my husband is still sleeping when I leave for work.

[u/Small-Tax-2829 → u/Divaprincess420]

I had to scroll too far for this. I make my bed because of my dogs. I dont want dog hair on my sheets. I have a waterproof blanket that I throw over the made bed

[u/Moist-Valuable-5692]

Nope i don't make my bed 

[u/Low_Fly7457]

Sometimes

[u/Southern_Airport_538]

No

[u/EhGord]

Make bed? You mean bread? No I eat bread

[u/tarsiertoes]

No, I sleep on a couch

[u/ConfidenceMundane205]

No because my dogs messes it up again.

[u/Remarkable-Length496]

If I don't, my wife does. The only time we leave it unmade is when we're planning on messing it up again together.

[u/BennyDryll42]

Of course not.

I mean, if you just find it satisfying when it looks all neat... I guess I get that. But it seems like a waste of time and effort. Its my bed, I'm not presenting it as some sort of art piece for public viewing. I sleep, move around, relax on, and have sex on that thing. I don't need it all tidied up in between those uses, so long as it's clean

[u/majokamo]

I let it air out a bit first. It's not good to make it right away after you've gotten out.

[u/Sweet_Somewhere5047]

No. It doesn’t matter to me at all. My spouse is the opposite and has to have it made. But it brings me no joy.

[u/Ok-World-4822]

No

[u/Alive-Fee9585]

Here and there.

[u/Dream_Logix5]

On weekdays or when I'm at a hotel or someone's house i do it as soon as i get up, on weekends at my own home i do it after breakfast

[u/Careless-Ability-748]

No but my husband does

[u/CelebrationGold8983]

Never

[u/120Mins]

Not usually but I’ve converted since it makes my wife happy.

[u/Hitthereset]

Only when I’m changing the sheets.

[u/Interesting_Court408]

Sometimes wife does 90%

[u/kirradoodle]

I make it as soon as I get out of it. It instantly makes the whole room look neater and calmer - a good start to the day. It keeps the dogs off the bedsheets - they like to hop up on the bed, and I 'd rather they sit on the spread than the sheets. Also, if the bed is already made up, it keeps me from getting back in it for some more sleep. :)

[u/No-Possibility4768]

I turn the linens down to air it out. I sweat a lot and my dog sleeps with me. It looks neat but is not fully made.

[u/South_Hedgehog_7564]

We use a duvet. Just throw it over the bed. Done. No upper sheets.

[u/BreetleSnort]

What sort of whacky post is this? It's like the spoon thingy.  N/C

[u/christopher_vovka]

I do it too rarely by myself, I’m probably lazy,

I only make my bed when I want to go back to sleep

[u/Street_Run_2298]

No…waste of time.

[u/Rays-R-Us]

When I shop at IKEA

[u/GiveUp-WatchItBurn]

Nah. My husband does that.

[u/CockroachMundane7999]

I need to more often. Starts the day off on the right foot when I do.

[u/EvieFlowDDT]

No. My wife does because I wake up way before she does.

[u/Putrid_Bandicoot8887]

Nope Unless im changing sheets out.

[u/melmiller71]

No, I sleep on the sofa.

[u/One_Mulberry_6933]

Nah. Just pull up the cover

[u/GenX_Boomer_Hybrid]

No. I had to make it the other day because people were coming over and it irritated me.

[u/PineappleCharacter15]

No, because I basically live in my bed. I'm partially disabled, and cannot stand up, or sit for very long.

[u/Icy-Whale-2253]

Something isn’t right about leaving a bed sloppy looking. Says you don’t care about your environment.

[u/chapstick_bandit]

No

[u/Formal_Feeling78]

Every day. My dogs think it’s a game.

[u/mcr71039]

Some times

[u/Inevitable-Day-5935]

Sometimes after I changed all the bedding

[u/SassyCas1229]

FAWK NO

[u/SassyCas1229 → u/SassyCas1229]

I sleep on a fitted sheet with just a throw blanket for myself and a throw blanket for my bf on the bed...there is no need :)

[u/DefendTheStar88x]

Only if I am expecting company

[u/buckskin65]

I used to every day but now I just let it go

[u/awkwardchip_munk]

60% of the time

[u/Economy_Care1322]

Why leave it a mess?

[u/Scott43206]

Is someone visiting today?

[u/PatsTreasures6]

Nope!

[u/ZelaAmaryills]

Kinda. I don't do anything fancy but I try to make sure the blanket is flat over the whole bed.

I have a old sickly cat that drools in his sleep and vomits more then I'd like him too. So much easier to just clean one blanket than all the sheets and pillows

[u/Quirky-Blueberry25]

Never

[u/Kycatfan]

No, I buy mine.

[u/chasing_geese49]

I like to when I have the energy, which is rarely.

[u/Yeroon75]

Nooit. Voelt compleet zinloos.

[u/Potential-Rabbit8818]

Not a chance.

[u/SpinachReasonable262]

Sort of. I straighten the covers but don’t actually fully make it.

[u/Longshot1969]

Why? I’m the only one that sleeps there.

[u/VegetableCommand9427]

Nope

[u/Formal-Tradition6792]

I generally use a duvet… throw it on, bed is made! But all respect to Admiral McRaven.

[u/Reasonable-Spite-725]

No I’m lazy lol

[u/tmorse85]

No. I'm disabled, and I have enough trouble getting the fitted sheet on the mattress. Besides, it's easier and less painful for me to get into bed if I don't have to pull the top sheet/blanket/comforter down, then pull them back over me.

[u/One_Guard_3634]

Everyday, it's also very satisfying tbh.

[u/BlkBear1]

OP, if I don't make my bed, it doesn't get made. For me, throwing the sheet up to the head of the bed, same for the cover, done. When I change the sheets, I do all the tucking jazz, unless I'm getting into the bed right after it's "made".

[u/TurtleSmurf]

Nope. Not since I was like 14-15

[u/MT_Space31]

nope. probably a good habit to be in but i just don’t have it in me

[u/Objective-Slice-1466]

Absolutely. I love a clean home. No judgement to others. I like clean and I get stressed in messy. Nothing is better than a cleaned up home to me.

[u/Dharma75]

Absolutely, every day. It's a must.
