thread to get over a breakup

I'd get one of those body pillows for spooning but I'd probably end up with one that elbowed me in the face

Head to the side, yes. I don't, like, face plant into the pillow.

yeah there's asleep and there's double super comatose oh god i've really paralyzed my own limb this time asleep

if anyone wants to know my bedsheet/duvet situation, just let me know

gr80 i was just about to ask you

y'all need bedding suspenders

If there were a way to run elastic under the mattress that would hold my top sheet taut and keep it from ever moving, don't think I wouldn't get some.

so interesting, everyone sleeping in beds and all

I'll go break up with my husband (for wearing socks while sleeping, natch) to keep this threadcount on track for you gr80

geez, all the 'good' stuff was hidden by the sheets discussion.

refused to dance, ride a bike, go in the water, or get sand on you.

well, I can't do 2 of these.

Anyway, L, just let me vet the next one early on.

(and by 'vet" I don't necessarily mean "spay")

if only we all had the convenience to have our dates vetted by Morbs

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers

^^^ I don't understand this phenomenon either. It must be like sleeping in a straitjacket?

I just tuck the end, not the sides! sheesh

I couldn't even stand having the end tucked.

Wait that sounds like something else.

Morbs! You would only let me date Mets fans!

just not a bunch of mothertuckers.

- I like having my feet covered.
- Tucking the end (not the sides) of the sheet ensures foot coverage.

Bedding layout doesn't seem to matter, no matter how neatly the bed is made, the other person always winds up with all the covers by the morning.

Try using separate sheets; works for my husband and me.

what happened to this thread?

sheet hit the fan

We're all three sheets to the wind.

I miss a top sheet - since the lady, it's been duvet's only, one for me one for her. I could get a sheet out only for the half the week that she doesn't stay here, but to be honest I don't even make the bed (fold the duvets in half lengthways, put all the pillows at the head of the bed) unless she's coming up.

I go to sleep face sideways / belly down, and wake in any of several poses - though if I'm on my back then I'm probably being elbowed awake for snoring.

top sheet, untucked, no comforter/duvet except for one or two months a year
with current spooning partner, I'm actually uncovered most of the night when she stays but she radiates enough heat that it doesn't matter

With the mr. out of town, I have re-discovered that I am, in fact, the world's tidiest sleeper. I climb out of bed after eight hours having barely disturbed the sheets and coverlet; I make the bed in one motion with a single hand. When the bed has dual occupancy, it is another story altogether.

yes but gr080 do you tuck your sheets in or not

I must confess I wasn't even sure what a top sheet *was*. Duvets only, thanks.

(NB: I might only be posting this because I find annoying gr80 a little amusing)

Post that effortlessly sum up ILX.. ;) I can harp on about anything when it's comically annoying someone!

you know you're doing something right when you get a gr080 facepalm

With the mr. out of town, I have re-discovered that I am, in fact, the world's tidiest sleeper. I climb out of bed after eight hours having barely disturbed the sheets and coverlet; I make the bed in one motion with a single hand.

Come live with me and be my love, and we will all the duvets prove. Why aren't there more of us? Sleeping through the night would be so much easier.

"I've spent so many years teaching them how to live, and they're arguing about...duvets???" xp

lol

When it is hot as hell, what do duvet-only sleepers do? No cover on the bed?

I used to do that when I didn't use topsheets.

x-post - In the AC.

i use a lighter blanket. also i'm not that sensitive to heat and unless it's inhumanly hot, i don't mind having the duvet with me (i am never 100% under the blanket, usually part of me is under it, part of me is over it, etc.)

I live in the UK. It's never *that* hot.

Well this thread got weird.

threadcount to get over a breakup

A+

xp to Laurel: you are welcome in my bed any time! I pity the fool who has to flop around like a fish on land ALL NIGHT.

i'm 100% with laurel, i can't sleep if there's a twisted or flappy sheet annoying my fusspot princess and the pea feet.

^from the last time we discussed this and for all the next times as well.

my feet stick out over the edge of the bed; if the top sheet isn't tucked i end up with it coming up to cover me from knee or thigh to neck, which is not ideal.

to those who feel trapped: you don't need to pull the sheet up hardcore; allow your wee little feet some sheet slack!

btw this post is relevant to this thread because my wife was a feet-be-freeper and now i am able to stave off such entropy amongst my sheets.

My feet also stick out over the edge (thus footboards make me IA), but mookie is 100% correct that you can have a nice, non-binding slackness that nevertheless keeps things tidy. You untuckers are a bunch of disgusting savages btw.

otm footborads are the worst

OK well the mr. (taller than I though not as tall as you) have a footboard, but it is a sleigh-style thing so there is a big gap between the foot of the mattress and the board, otherwise dude we would soooo not be married.

Mine stick out too but a huge part of it for me is that I don't want my feet covered! Unless it's very cold then I like them out. The rest of me can be covered (though half often isn't) but I hate hot feet.

Socks in the bed give me NIGHTMARES (as in fever-type too hot dreams), but icicle feet are perhaps worse :(

haha my ex wanted a nice grownup bed but the only ones she liked had footboards. so at least we avoided that boondoggle
