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")

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers
^^^ I don't understand this phenomenon either. It must be like sleeping in a straitjacket?
― Jeff Goldblum is watching you, pope! (snoball), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 19:21 (thirteen years ago)
I just tuck the end, not the sides! sheesh
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 19:22 (thirteen years ago)
I couldn't even stand having the end tucked.

- 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.

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 yearwith current spooning partner, I'm actually uncovered most of the night when she stays but she radiates enough heat that it doesn't matter
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:40 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― quincie, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:46 (thirteen years ago)
yes but gr080 do you tuck your sheets in or not
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:47 (thirteen years ago)
I must confess I wasn't even sure what a top sheet *was*. Duvets only, thanks.

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.

When it is hot as hell, what do duvet-only sleepers do? No cover on the bed?
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:14 (thirteen years ago)
I used to do that when I didn't use topsheets.

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.)

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.
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:36 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― quincie, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:44 (thirteen years ago)
otm footborads are the worst
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:46 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― quincie, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:47 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:47 (thirteen years ago)
Socks in the bed give me NIGHTMARES (as in fever-type too hot dreams), but icicle feet are perhaps worse :(
― quincie, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:48 (thirteen years ago)
haha my ex wanted a nice grownup bed but the only ones she liked had footboards. so at least we avoided that boondoggle
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:49 (thirteen years ago)

― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 05:39 (thirteen years ago)
Usually prefer a tucked-in sheet and some sort of cover or duvet; that said, there's something alluring about spooning or otherwise being entwined with no covers at all so you can see each other.
