The only time I make my bed is when I change the sheets. That’s once a week, and I only make it then because my mother instilled it in me.

Not making it everyday saves time but more importantly airs everything out and deprives bacteria of moisture. That, makes it less stinky and lets my bedding last longer.

I sleep hot, it doesn’t matter what the ambient temperature is. Vermont in winter? Heating is off in my bedroom, and I have a leg out.

Edit: seems like this isn’t unpopular. It was a random thought that popped in my head. Everyone I have explained this to thinks it’s weird.

I understand the tidy thing, everything else in my bedroom is quite tidy, my life really, with the notable exception of my thought processes.

    The only reason that ever convinced me was the opinion that it simply feels nicer to get into a made bed at the end of a long day.

      Different strokes, I like to roll in. The worst for me is getting into a hotel room and needing a crane to get the sheets off my feet. First thing I do in hotel rooms is unmake the bed.

        Hotel made beds, and setting the duvet and pillows square are 2 very different levels of being made, imho.
