I never make my bed, I just take my pillow and sheet and shove it into the storage under love seat.
Do you make your bed each morning and if so then why?!
@tsarstepan,
Yes, I do so.
The reason: strict upbringing - at first at home, then in the navy. Now fully conditioned.
@tsarstepan,
Sort of....
I straighten it up and toss a blanket over the top because the dog likes to waller around on the bed during the day.
So I make the bed to avoid smelling the dog all night.

Once Agnetha is on the scene and has assembled her tools and brushes, nobody is allowed in bedrooms.

But your bed is sooo comfortable HB.

I love dogs that oddly smell of Frito corn chips. I wouldn't mind having my bed smell of that kind of dog. Oh... wait. I'd might be compelled to late night snack too often if that was the case.
@tsarstepan,
The difference between a clean room that is somewhat cluttered and a messed up room is whether or not the bed is made. Making the bed takes two minutes and improves the overall appearance dramatically.
I consider bed makers controlled from above.
My wife does it before I have a chance to think about it.
@tsarstepan,
remember the story about the mother who made up the children's beds whenever they went to the bathroom at night - she was overdoing it just SLIGHTLY , I think !
@tsarstepan,
Depends on how late I slept and how much of a hurry I am in to get out of the house.
Go ahead and make up that bed. Six months from now, it's all there waiting to be done again.
@boomerang,
A dog that does that more than one time ain't a dog.
I've got a duvet, making the bed just requires giving it a shake.
@roger,
Yes, that's the wonder of duvets, you only really have to make the bed when you change the sheets.
@roger,
One bottom fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases. It's probably more correct to say
change the linen, but I've always said
change the sheets, and I'm not changing now (sheets or behaviour).
We share morning duties. Whoever gets up first makes the coffee, whoever gets up last makes the bed. If it's cold out and neither of us want to get up first we take turns alternate days.
