    I intentionally open the bedding up because that is better for people with allergies, asthma, etc. Having the sheets and blankets neatly made provides a better environment for dust mites.

  • Yes. But here in Germany you usually just have one pillow and one duvet (I’m not sure if that is the correct term) per person. To make the bed, you fold over the duvet, so the bed can air out. Maybe fluff up the pillow, depending on the type of pillow. So it only takes a few seconds to do that.

  • No.

    I tried to do this semi-loft thing on a normal apartment with 4x6’s, and live in a jungle gym because that would keep me from not exercising¹ and make my 13 year old me that lives in the back of my head squeal, and I had a couple hundred dollars for lumber and some extra time, so, like, fuck it, right?

    Mission accomplished, it did do all that, plus I have crazy amounts of storage per sqft, and my apartment feels like it has way more places than it should, plus the city’s on a fault line and I’m pretty sure the ceiling cannot collapse on me, but it’s not without terrible terrible costs. So things like making my bed are more of a challenge than they really needed to be.

    Also I kind if dread the day I need to bring another woman back to my place. I’m just going to hope I turn asexual.

    ¹plus balance muscle groups and all sorts of good shit

      I call mine “The Sky Bed.” It has a pillow fort underneath. Don’t lose hope, the sky bed’s seen some rainy seasons if you know what I mean.

      But yeah, those sheets are a bitch to change.

  • We don’t make the bed neatly, but we do pull up the comforter because our dogs sleep in our bed during the day and I’d rather the sheets not be full of dog hair (more than they already are).
