honestly, a recliner is probably better for me as I have reflux issues
One interesting side effect of regularly making the bed that I didnât expect: we are much more diligent about changing the sheets every 5-7 days rather than every two weeks. Keeping a nice space feeling nice, I suppose.
Multiple health issues compelled my wife to sleep in her recliner. So bed-making is all up to me. 
Curious as to what is meant by âmake up the bedâ . . .
Iâll pull up and straighten the sheet and covers as this makes it nicer when getting back into it later on.
I donât bother to tuck in the âsidesâ though (which would be the expectation in the military; especially for an inspection).

Iâve come around to making the blanket and sheets square every morning (but not tucking since I dislike the tuck anyway).
At one point I was only going in the bedroom to sleep so I didnât benefit from tidy effect.
dogs lay on the bed a lot. Id rather they lay on the top of the comforter rather than right on the sheets where I lay.
also, it takes 10 seconds and makes the room look nicer. are adults really not making their bed in the morning?
Mostly, never. At least, me. Not a priority.
My spouse makes the bed every morning and has our entire marriage. Bed gets made then about 18 fancy pillows and then some type of offsetting colour throw draped elegantly across the one corner. Nobody (i.e. me) got time for that.
I do make the bed in one circumstance. If my spouse is (very rarely) away overnight or longer, then on the day that they return, I make the bed just so theyâre not coming back to a messy house. But when theyâre gone, nope, bed doesnât get made. I sleep fine at night.
I might make it if it was just me all the time, because it looks OK. But I wouldnât be creating a work of colour-matching art every morning like what happens now.

Yeah I made the mistake of buying one at Ikea once. That was a whole afternoon of swearing while making that bed.
but your bed is being made by some one. its not just laying there amess all day.
Do I sometimes straighten out the quilt to give myself a clear space to fold my laundry? Yes. Do I actually make the bed? Nope, not unless Iâm putting on clean sheets. Does it make me feel warm and fuzzy to see a neatly made bed? Nope.

i dont make it look great. but I shake out the blanket and sheet a little and lay it down straight.
It always takes me several minutes. Mr aj can kind of lift up the sheet and get air under it and have it land right. I donât seem to have his technique so I have to pull it here and then run around to the other side and adjust there. x3 since I have to do that with the sheet, blanket, and bedspread.
I have other things to do with my morning. But you do you.
It doesnât take me very long, I just usually donât care.

same here. but my version of âmade bedâ that doesnât take me long is not usually acceptable to my spouse. so i just leave it and allow it to be done her way.
My spouse only makes the bed when heâs preparing for a house guest. I canât remember the last time he made our bed. So I guess heâs okay with what i do.
Prior to transitioning, I never made the bed. Post transitioning, I make it essentially every day. Itâs one of the ways in which Iâm trying to be more organized and take more pride and satisfaction from day to day things in life. Plus I like leaving my BlĂ„haj a cozy place to hang out during the day.
