So, we switched from one really big blanket to two individual smaller ones. And every day I’m struggling with the decision. Do I
a) let them overlap, which looks good but is a damn hassle to get undone for sleeping
b) have them separate and kinda crinkle them so they only cover one half of the bed, which looks ridiculously bad
c) some third option my simple mind could not come up with?
I’m here to see how many people don’t make their bed. I do not and I never really understand why.
That said each to their own.
I only do when I’m expecting someone else to see it.
When I remember to I try to rearrange my sheets after I get up so that they still cover the mattress. That’s because I’ve got a dog who likes to sleep on the bed during the day, I’d rather she did that on the sheets that are easier to clean.
Otherwise, I’m not entirely sure of the point.
My partner and I are fans of the pile, but then again we also get up and basically run out the door every day
I used to not do it, but now I do because it’s ridiculously nice to just to have it all ready to go.
Turn them 90° and then fold them over until they fit. Folding them in halves or thirds should suffice.
Edit: Like this:
That’s a good one! I’ll try this out tomorrow 👍
On a different note, i wouldnt be able to sleep with my feet sticking out.
Those douvets are so short
Is the bed mostly for sleeping, or for decoration?
If it’s for sleeping, then don’t make the bed. There’s no good reason to do so.
If it’s for decoration, fold each blanket in half with one blanket covering each person’s half of the bed. Make it that way.
The good reason as stated in another comment is having hairy housemates ;)
Also, I personally much prefer to get into a tidy bed, it’s just such a comfy feeling :3
I know you mean pets, but the idea that you live with a couple of super hairy dudes that shed all over the place and in your bed like dogs is hilarious to me.

Third option: get blankets one bed size up.
King size comforter on a Queen size bed solved the “who stole the comforter last night issue” for me.
Blankets go crinkly side by side so one person can go to bed earlier and night owl’s blanket is available even if sleepyhead fell asleep without unmaking the bed first.
In daytime, it looks a bit like 2 sleeping bags are spread out on the bed.
Cover both with a bedspread
