Do you make up your bed every day? Why or why not?

[Lucy68]

As a kid I did everyday, however, during my teen years I did not at all. When I started university I started to again and as an adult everyday. To me personally it gives it that clean room feel even when it's a little untidy in my opinion.

Yes

No

[LisaLisa89]

Yes, every day without fail.

On most occasions all it needs is the sheet straightening and pull the duvet up. It takes virtually no time at all.

If the sheet needs to be changed and we are in a hurry for work we might just strip the bed and pull the duvet up, but we never leave it in a mess.

[Sour-rose]

I do. Just because I've made it a habit now. I look at my mom's bed and it's unmade... and I really... REALLY don't wanna go down the life she's going down. It looks so boring and awful. And makes me feel accomplished that I made my bed so when I get back to it, it looks welcoming for me.

[MCheetah]

My bed never gets messed up and is pinned against the wall, so no, I never have to do this. I used to do it back in my old apartment in the US, though.

[Cubus]

I don't.

[Lucy68]

As a kid I was told too, but as a teenager I was completely extremely messy so not only was the bed never made there was ALWAYS stuff in the bed including food. Now it's always made, to me it gives the room look tidier

[Cubus]

So women become tidier with age?

[Lucy68]

That's a lie, while away at university I would occasionally crash at one of my friends/classmates apartment and her other roommate who was like 25/26 (I was 20 at the time) her room was so freaking atrocious. And I mean we're talking about food on the floor, on the bed, in the bathroom including in the bathtub. Clothes everywhere, and other stuff that we're not going to mention. She made teenage me look extremely clean. Plus she had a dog and refused to give him flea baths so her room had fleas everywhere

[Cubus]

And my mum gets angry, when I have clothes on my chair

[Lucy68]

I sometimes have clothes on my bookshelf and my mother gets irritated by that

[Cubus]

Thank you for Most Helpful

[Apple1996]

Nah I'm in my bed too often for breastfeeding so it's pointless to make

[Pinay_ako]

That’s my first accomplishment of the day. Can’t start the day right with an unmade bed. It doesn’t sit right in my soul 🤣

[Lucy68]

Same I completely understand

[JDAC092299]

Yeah I do it to help maintain my routine and discipline tbh I actually feel bad if I don’t make it now because it’s such a simple task that takes less than five minutes so If I can’t do that before I start my day I feel unorganised and incompetent.

[NamerOfStars]

I leave my bed the way I leave it; I see absolutely no point in artificially gussying it up to make it look like it hasn't been used. Mom kept telling me I should, but never give me a reasonable explanation as to WHY I'd want to do that.

[Pudsmucker]

Shows that you're neat and orderly. A lot of people that have OCD make their bed.

[Lucy68]

I have a mild case of OCD

[Pudsmucker]

My wife has OCD also. I think it gets worse the older she gets.

[AviatorTom]

Every day... okay, I occasionally miss a day. I make the bed so it's easier to climb into bed at night.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'm a neat freak.

Fortunately, so is my hubby.

[SEL195]

Summer no winter yes. Summer we have no blankets so there is no bed to make

[EmmaMary]

Bed/Bedroom needs to be made and tidied every day without fail.

[Iron_Man]

There’s nothing to make I have a leather very expensive La-Z-Boy recliner chair the Cindy Crawford special from rooms to go all I have is a sheet to cover me

[josephinelcajon]

Its better to pull the bedding down to dry and air it out

[Dinosaursandanime65]

No. To me, it feels like there’s more of the bed when everything is sort of everywhere. Of course, the sheets and such are where they’re supposed to be, in the bed as intended, but PINGAS

[exitseven]

In my house whoever gets out of bed last has to make it.

[Babygirl_S]

I do because it prevents me from spending the entire day in bed and a clean looking bed satisfies me.

[Mark987]

As growing up in a strict household we had no choice. Now I always do it shows a sign of being organized and clean

[MrCage]

Usually yes. Sometimes I am too lazy to do it before I go to work so I just do it after I come back from it.

[AsaKyo]

Yeah because I have no choice if I don't wanna sleep uncomfortably

[Anonymous]

Yep. It makes me feel more organised. I always feel like it starts my day off better I don't know why lmao

[AngryCarl]

Why? Does your bed magically "unmake" itself during the night? I don't get it.

[Anonymous]

I make my bed every single day, because its how I was raised.

[Open2It]

I straighten it out but not officially 'make' my bed...

[douride2]

I make y bed every morning when I get up. It was what I was taught growing up.

[Fuentes]

I don't make a mess so yeah cause I only sleep on one side of my queen size bed. So it's an easy fix lol

[Cedman]

I don't, why make my bed up when I am going to get back in at night? I might if I have a guest but otherwise it not worth the hassle.

[CuriousMufuxka]

No for 3 reasons. 1. I'm a man. 2. I usually sleep in three different areas. And 3... I'm single again and can actually do what I want.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I dont. Im the only one allowed in my room so i dont see the point

[Paige90]

Yes, I do. It's the first thing I do!

[Kingofkings1992]

Nope. I equate making your bed to tying your shoes after you take them off. It’s a waste of time

[misfittoy]

for me its routine

[Nikki1989]

Yes, every morning.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Yes, it's the bed that I come home to after work.

[WhitneySnow]

Depends how much time I have in the morning

[berwise13]

I'm able to start the day by marking something off the to do list

[MysticDevice]

Nope. Literally no point whatsoever.

[NatalieIshereO]

I thought its the norm

[donaldbull48]

Yeah I do and so it looks neat.

[Deserter]

No, keeps germs in, and I dont want to

[BLP11520]

No I left the military a long time ago

[Anonymous]

what's the point it'll just get messy again

[roy_ricky09]

Yes...

[whereismyjohnny]

Yes.

[Jende]

Yes.
