Do you make your bed every morning?

Yes, I do. That is one habit I have gotten into no matter what. I used to think why make it when we are going to get back in and mess it up again that night. LOL That is true but it makes my bedroom look so much neater. I just feel better myself when I walk by and my bed is neat and made. Do you make yours each morning?

90% of the time I do. This morning I didn't because we were in a rush to get out the door and my son and I got up late LOL

Yes, I do. It doesn't have to be perfect but I have to put the pillows back in place and straighten the covers. It makes such a big difference to the look of the room. I hate having a messy bed.

I do too! If I have thrown the covers up and made the bed fast, I have to straighten them before I can go to bed. LOL Thanks for posting.

I rarely make my bed. Most of the time when I get out of bed my husband is just going to sleep or is still sleeping and by the time he wakes up its time for me to go to bed. He works crazy hours so I don't even bother unless we have company coming over and someone will have to go through our room to get to the bathroom.

Yes, it would be very hard to make your bed in your situations. Thanks for posting.

Sometimes I do, but I don't do it everyday. My mother always made her bed first thing in the morning, I'm surprised I didn't pick up that habit from her.

Can't say that I make it every morning. Though it is nice and made now. I just did finish changing the sheets. I am ususally trying to rush out the door for work.

I love those fresh washed bedclothes. They feel so good when you crawl into bed. Thanks for posting.

We don't get under all the covers on the bed at night, but the bed always ends up looking like it was tossed in a tornado..so I pretty much have to make it every morning or its just going to look horrible until its time to get back in it...

Yes I always make the bed and I insist that my children make their beds too. Not only does it make the rooms look nicer and less cluttered feeling, It's a cleanliness issue too. We have pets and I can't stand for pet hair to be in the bed. It's almost impossible to keep the cat off the beds and sometimes he gets fleas. Who wants fleas in the sheets? In our house, it's just something that I think should be done.

We only have a duvet to straighten out, and pillows to re-fluff is so desired, so it's ahrdly wha ti'd call making the bed! We usually just put the duivet back in place and maybe adjust the pillows. Makes the room look neater.

Yes, it does make the room neater. I have to straighten my sheet and quilt and then pull the comforter back up and fluff pillows and put shams on bed. Then I'm done. Thanks for responding.

I did it today because it is Saturday and since I don't have to go to work I can make it, but in the week it is impossible to me to make my bad.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on the time I still have available before rushing for work. But it is definitely relaxing to come home to a neat bedroom.

Easy for sure! I have my comforter folded down at the end of the bed so it is easy to just unfold and pull up. put shams in front of pillows and I'm done.! Thanks for your response.

I always do that, because I like my bed properly arranged, but my husband and my son, always hangs out in our bedroom, so all in all, i do it 5x a day! I don't want to lay in a crumpled bed sheet. And I see to it to change it every week.
