    Couldn’t find the word when writing that comment, but I was referring to mites. Mites like a warm, made bed. But if you leave everything a bit rustled up while the bed cools off after you’ve left it, they don’t get too comfortable. Then you can make the bed after it has cooled. I’m guessing they like both the warmth, as well as the easier navigation of a made bed?

      Mites just appreciate when you make the bed for them.

      I’d personally be more inclined to get rid of the mites rather than make them slightly uncomfortable, but each to their own.

        Sure. However, I think it’s more about sustaining an environment where house dust mites (finally found the real term) don’t want to be. Otherwise they’ll show up/thrive. But in my mind, the best solution should be to change sheets with enough frequency, and make sure the house isn’t so dusty. That way they have no food and are swept away often enough by the washer/vacuum not to get a footing.
