Wife is similar to me, so we usually don’t make the bed. Sometimes she will get into a “complete small tasks” phase and will make it every day for a week but it doesn’t last long. We will make it if company is coming over and may see the bed.
For bed size, I think king beds are sometimes too small. I want a custom oversized bed for my next one.
FWIW, we’ve had a queen for most of our marriage; and I have trouble sleeping if my wife isn’t with me.
My parents have a king sized bed, and I don’t sleep too well in that either, even with my wife in the same bed as the distance is too far apart and I can’t “find” her.
Take the closet doors completely off?
Here ya go:
Well, I certainly prefer to “air out” the bed for a couple of hours. I’ll make the bed when it is convenient, and before my wife comes home from her work.
Hi. I have a Sleep Number bed, queen size, with bilateral firmness controls, but no other gimmicks–just a plastic frame, no headboard, no elevation, no warming. I do like it more than most other beds I’ve slept in. I had to buy a ridiculously overpriced mattress cover to get a warranty for water damage to the bed. Still glad I made the purchase, which was in 2013. The SleepIQ system is a pain to connect to the wi-fi, and will randomly disconnect if the signal is weak, but it’s worked okay with my new router.
The SleepIQ app is cool, it’s not a life-changer or anything, but it’s fun to look at. Sleep Number sends me deals on pillows and other items, but they’re still rather high-priced. I did buy one of their pillows once when my neck and I had a disagreement.
45 years for me, it was mentioned a lot
I do it because my place always looks hotel-ready.
Not only does it make me feel good when I come home/walk by my bedroom, I feel at ease whenever a friend wants to swing by. My bedding is also brand name and cost over $2000, so need to show it off.
And it’s discipline practice for me. Since I had issues with substances, it’s my measure of how unmotivated I am. If I can’t even get myself to make the bed, then I know something in me needs correcting.
if space is an issue, have you considered futons (the japanese mattress not the convertible furniture)
it takes a while (3-6 mos) to get used to, but after that it’s the best sleep in your life
When our granddaughter has a sleepover, I often end up in the guest bed. We have a CA King. That kid takes up 3/4ths from the middle, but my wife is fine hugging the edge.
It’s very important to me to NOT make my bed, if that’s the same thing.
then don’t buy from IKEA
Our last mattress was a tempurpedic, and I loved it when we got it, but was not sleeping as well 8 years in. We went back to a normal mattress with coils and bought from avocado. We have a split king so that we can adjust each side of the base separately, but if my spouse was comfortable at the same adjustment level as me, I would prefer a queen. The king sized was good when we had kids crawling into bed for snuggles, but it’s a lot of space for just the two of us.
what in the hell? what did I do?
you’re swinging with JFG
huh. news to me! or maybe they’re just getting prepared to invite me over to “explore the boundaries of their relationship”.
I slept on a sleep number bed in a hotel once. IMHO, it’s a glorified air mattress. I didn’t care for it. YMMV.
If you’re looking for a traditional mattress and have an Original Mattress Factory in your area, I would recommend them. I’ve bought nearly all my mattresses from there & have liked them all. I’ve I found the sales people there to be helpful and not pushy even though they work on commission.
I like to be able to easily touch my spouse at night, even if it’s just with my foot.
i like to kick my spouse also
It was the kid’s foot in my face or back that I wasn’t fond of.
