What does your bed look like?

A place where you spend a lot of time, reading, dreaming, eating, talking, having sex. A place you don't want to leave. A place you fall into gratefully. What does yours look like?

Mine is a double with a pine frame (the blandness of rented furniture) the duvet cover is bright Schiparelli (sic?) pink. (I wanted red, but couldn't find any). I have loads and loads of cusions, usually hiding a book I've fallen asleep whilst reading.

Sweet dreams.

My bed is a king size (b/f is 6'2) with a pine frame & currently sporting a navy blue duvet cover with pics of sharks on it (b/f's choice!). The bed is very comfy altho is not quite the same since we moved it! Mmmmmm bed, wish I was there now!

View from beneath my old bed, but now I have boring pine thing, as opposed to this 1940's hella rad spring bed. I miss those broken springs!

(nice piccie jel!!) mine is a double futon with a thick mattress, lots of pillows and red, navy, yellow or green sheets/linen. (oh and my favourite Peanuts pillow case from when i was about 2). there is also a grebt patchwork blanket that me and my mum made together and which is the snuggliest blanket evah! although when we stop renting (futon = dead easy to move, y'see) i want a bed from THE IRON BED COMPANY!

mine is a double futon too. at the mo it has boring (and hard to keep clean) white duvet cover/sheets/pillowcases but i will get new ones when i move house + generally make an effort to make my room look lovely. key thing = feather duvet (i cd never go back to a polyester one now).

(i caught 'would like to meet?' for the first time last week + now know that 'having a single bed screams 'i have given up on ever having sex again' (or whatever the actual line was). which was amusing as i was the only person in the room with a double bed so got to laugh at all the others).

― toby, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine is a single pine thing with porrly glued joints. I currently have my Shaun the Sheep duvet and light blue sheets.

(I was going to post a picture but it's not that interesting)

Mine is a single matress upon which a double futon base is balance - stabilised by two bricks at each corner and halfway down the side (the clearance is about two inches between top of brinck and futon base which allows the bed to shift upon the single matress but not topple over if I end up lying on the edge). On top of this is a thick double matress - with navy blue undersheets and a choice between yellow (with green swirls) duvet or blue (with yellow swirls) duvet.

It is very comfortable due to my mastery of bed technology.

Love hurts good in a bed of nails!

i thought my lovely pine bed was state-of-the-art gorgeousness before i read this thread. now i realise just standard rented accomodation furniture.

it's my first ever double. it was covered in a duvet that my ex-fella borrowed me that was spun on chinese silk-looms or some such. but i much prefer my new habitat soft flannel cream, to darker cream, to brown duvet, that i realised this weekend is also the duvet of mr. n. dastoor. he has the matching pillow cases, though.

My bed is a ruin.

Is he your bed, Mark?

Queen size pine frame from Ikea, best Xmas gift I've ever gotten from my parents I think. Got it in 1998 and every morning is a battle on my part to get up from it.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

It is not pine but a regular bog standard double bed. My bed sheets are a misery, old and rough and don't get changed enough. I want to get new ones. They have a red and yellow pattern on them. I think I have grown into hating them.

I have THREE pillows on my bed (used to have four, but they became redundant now I only share my bed with a floppy dog and no stinking BOYFLESH). One is now downstairs on the sofa. It migrated there after someone stayed over and has now decided it likes the telly and the PS2 better than my bed. So now I sleep on two pillows and the third pillow either gets hugged, or makes the bed stop looking so large.

At the foot of my bed there is a bass amp.

The snuggle down factor of futons is significantly less than beds, although I have had some factor of cosiness in them.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm. Perhaps I will cheer myself up now by going to buy bedsheets. Does anyone know where they sell nice ones? Ie not Argos/Woolies...

― Sarah, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

They do nice sheets in Debenhams, Starry - possibly even in a sale at the moment. You can't beat pure Egyptian cotton. Luvverly.

My bed is a king size cherry wood sleigh bed, and I luv it. It is currently sporting plain white sheets (see above re: Egyptian cotton), white pillowcases, and white duvet cover (though I have other colours, including a blue and white checked pattern one which makes me go cross-eyed when I look at it and a Linda "I'm-a-Famous- Interior-Designer-So-There" Barker one with huge ginormous red roses all over it which is just silly and makes you think you are sleeping in a shrubbery or something). I seem to end up changing the duvet covers every couple of days, due to having two cats with mucky paws and a penchant for snoozing on aforementioned bed (after having done some elaborate paw-wiping ceremony on it first).

I hate changing duvet covers. It's like a wrestling match, and I invariably lose. Sometimes I end up inside the cover with the duvet, accidentally of course - but it's humiliating nonetheless.

that i realised this weekend is also the duvet of mr. n. dastoor.

It's amazing how this works out, given that we live 500 miles apart. I own my own bed (double, stained-white pine with a large headboard) but now I'm up here I'm in a steel king-size thing with an enormous darkerthanpinewood headboard that's not actually part of the bed. It's hard to explain. It kind of separates the two levels of the room. I like my new bed.

― N., Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

ITs a queen size which I share with a fiance and a dog. We have nice 450 thread count $100 sheets we got for a wedding presents on there now. THey are white. We have a yellow duvet, and we just registered for some Tommy Hilfiger sheets and duvet cover things. Three pillows. The rest of our sheets are mix match from the "My mother" collection.

does anyone sleep with their feet to the wall and their head pointed out towards the middle of the room?

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Depends how much I have had to drink, Tracer

― C J, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

when i moved my bed i unwittingly placed the pillow-part right where the only direct sunlight in my room laserbeams its way in; so i switched around the bedclothes - my feets are gonna get a sunburn at this rate - also i think that corner of the room slopes in towards the wall, so if my head were where you'd imagine it should go i'd get blood rushing to my head all night and have weird swole-head dreams. still it seems odd - there seems a natural human inclination to have a wall 2-3 inches from one's head at all times while one sleeps.

― Tracer hand, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

My bed doubles as a table where I keep magazines, books, and cards. More truthfully, I'm just a messy person.

― Vinnie, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I tried doing that once Tracer, but it felt strange. Having a wall to my back (or the back of my head) makes me feel more secure, I think.

― Vinnie, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

tracer, I tried that for a while when I was in high school; not sure why I switched or why I gave it up. lately my head's been so close to the two walls that I'll wake up and be like looking at one of them two inches away. I have no idea how I don't bump my head. (maybe I do and it's making me forget.)

― Josh, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

To bloody tempting right now

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, well, it's obvious I need more sleep anyway

My bed looks like it's very tempting right now is what i was trying to say

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

my bed is actually not even mine, it's Maryann's. It's one of those ones without a headboard, I like it a lot. At the moment there are two sheets on it, one yellow and one pink. The duvet and two of the pillows are feather stuffed, with white lacey embroidered cover whatnots. The other two pillows are just normal pillows, one has a blue pillowcase and the other has a jellybean pattern on it. my friend Sophia made the jellybean patterned pillowcase in sewing class at school.
Another thing that is usually in my bed is a hot water bottle that Maryann gave me, which is special because it has a fluffy cover, constructed to look like a fish.

argh. haven't had my own bed this year - most frequently sleeping in a sleeping bag on an old fold-out couch w/my feet near the back of the couch (small room - if I slept the other way round I couldn't get out the sides, plus couch arms give me a horrible feeling of being TRAPPED & etc etc etc.
(however when I am rich I will have my very own double bed & I will have fruit juice whenever I feel like it.)
