Yep I fold the duvet to the foot & open the windows to air the room, closing the windows before going out or to work. I then remake the bed the first time I go upstairs after I get home......that is when I remember lol!I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I KnowSupermarket Rebel No 19:T0

I sleep with the windows open, even in the winter I have them (I have 2) open a bit.
I like to make the bed as soon as I get up.
But if I don't get to do this, I try not to feel guilty as I'm airing the bed properly.0 -
Yep , duvet back windows are always open anyway for 2 or 3 hrs everyday... but I must admit I hate it if I am away and OH forgets to remake the bed .....#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

We always pull our covers back and the window is left open almost all the time. I'm going to sound mad but for for quite a while now i'v only been able to get to sleep if my bed and pillows are stone cold.before this i was the complete oppisite and id go mad if my hubby opened the window.0

No you're not. I love getting into cool crisp cotton sheets. hot beds/sheets make me think of sweaty polyester.0 -
Well, this is what I do.
We have a sheet first, nice on these hot nights

Then the duvet and a throw on top.
I make the bed in the morning (or pull it straight somtimes
) and fold it down in half, if that makes sense.
It stays like that all day, with the window "on the latch" - sort of open but locked.0 -

Another one here!!! I'll get into a bed as cold as you like, but a hot bed no no no !!!!
Usually fold the duvet right down in the morning, so the bottom sheet and pillows can get nice and cold:DYou never get a second chance to make a first impression.0 -
Mines aired all day but thats how I like it.
Folded back when I get up and when I go to bed its back on properly.;)
Yep same here.
have to say the idea of making it as soon as you've got up seems rather Ewwwwwwww to me :eek::eek:Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
Do little and often
Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:0 -
how long do you leave the bed airing? is half an hour long enough...i just hate to come home to an unmade bed, however neatly it's folded back.
I leave mine all day most of the time, but yes I'd say half an hour will do the job:D I just like the bed to be as cold as possible when I get into it. I know I'm weird:oYou never get a second chance to make a first impression.0
