Do you make your Bed?

[turbo500]

how many mattresses, toppers and comforters can you fit onto 1 bed!? Good lord, we have 1 mattress and no need for a topper given that we bought a good quality mattress. It has a protector, then a sheet and that's all. Duvet cover and pillow cases. Done.

The bottom one is a Box Spring. it adds support. I use blankets as it gets very cold here at night

Make the bed???

Only if companys coming, LOL, Im going to get right back in it about 7.am , "I work 12 hr nights, I get up about 3pm and leave for work about 5pm, I just don't see the point of the extra work.

Habits here! Mom would have beat the sh-t out of us if not made before breakfast. Not stretching that one.

I bought a new bed back in April. The frame is 100% solid hardwood -- no plywood or particle board, and it's built very sturdily with heavy-duty bolts holding the headboard, footboard and sideboards together and four hardwood support slats going across the sideboards to support the mattress.

It has a Sealy Posturpedic extra firm mattress and box spring. It's very comfortable.

I have quite a few sets of sheets and many comforters. But my favorite set is the one you see in the photos. Back in the late 1970s I bought a set of sheets, pillow cases and a comforter by Wamsutta, called "Tomorrow's Rainbow." I bought them at the Hecht Company store in Annapolis where I worked part-time. I really loved those sheets and they came with me to California but eventually got so worn out that I gave them to the church's rummage sale.

Well, one day I was browsing eBay listings and thought to search for Wamsutta rainbow sheets, and lo and behold! There was a set of sheets, pillow caess, AND a matching comforter! I lucked out and was the only bidder and got them for a song. So now I can relive my 1970s Glory Days with rainbow sheets!

I found via Google that the Tomorrow's Rainbow series was created by noted textile designer Julian Tomchin.

I have always loved, and will always love, rainbows -- Mother Nature's grand prisms.

I had those same sheet set back in the day & boy did they make them well back then!! Thank you for the lovely flash back a great memory!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I've always loved and been fascinated by rainbows, long before the rainbow symbol was co-opted as a logo for the LGBT human rights cause. So nowadays rainbows have even deeper meaning for me!

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Rainbows always look nice when im working at the farm all day and one pops up ahead. now they mean even more too me! Whoo, im Gay...

Likely in good company here Andy!

Being single

I see no need to make it now but I used to be an executive housekeeper for a hotel and did go to the Housekeeping Olympics & came in second place with a time of 1.29 for making a standard bed which did not include running around it but moved just 3 times. I would have preferred fitted sheet folding because I can fold them perfectly square but those days are long gone.

 

[vacuumlad1650]

it takes me about 3 minutes to make my bed in the morning. i straighten the corners and blankets, as well as fluff the pillows.
John, knowing you, the beds look Perfect!
Well, Edgar, I cant argue with you on that. mother never forced us too make our beds, it was Dad who pushed it. My Grandmother was very strict when he was growing up. On your other point, What can I say...
Im not single, mark. can see your reasoning, though. it looks so much nicer when your room is tidy (ready to be vacuumed at any moment) and your bed is made!

[gottahaveahoove]

thank you.

If I am the John in reference, my beds are perfect. Hospital corners, etc. I get up, say a little prayer, make the bed, then leave the room.  If I die duringg the day, at least they'll not criticize my bed, lol.


 On the very first day at the seminary, I had to clean a room used for retreats.  24 beds in a room.  Yikes.

I hate making my bed because it seems so pointless since I'm just going to get getting in it again! But I do make it because I do like my room to look clean and orderly. Plus, the Furry Loved Ones like to hang out on my bed and I wouldn't want them burrowing under the sheets.

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Yes, John, i was referencing you, as Frank G hoover would say, Mr. Hoover Man
Charles, that was something i always pointed out. When i didnt make my bed, my room happened to be messy. Oddly when i started making my bed, i started keeping a clean room.

Charles Richard, i just thought of this one. Would you say its a Double Rainbow for you now?

 

[brando_husky]

I've not had a nice bedspread in a while. Just have a single sheet over a pillow top queen and a thin comforter. I don't like being overly warm at night and usually kick my blankets off

My warmth and comfort comes from my small collection of stuffed animals I cuddle every night

My 2 biggest problems are that i hate the cold and i have poor circulation. I wear sweatshirts and jeans even in the summer when its 80-110 degrees here in North-East Illinois
