Sheets are used to keep the blankets clean. Just like pillow cases. You can wash and or replace the linens easier than washing/replacing blankets & pillows. Think of them as underwear for your bed. So, YUCK on not using a top sheet!
We both make the bed every day, depending on whose the last one out of it.
Got to say, I completely agree!
If you aren't using a top sheet that blanket needs to be washed every 7 days at the very least.
Even if you aren't having much sex, your body sloughs off plenty of dead skin cells and makes that thing pretty gamey within days!
The bed feels so much better to me if the sheets are pulled back tight and neat and I then go to pull back the comforter in climb into it at night. I also have a decorative comforter, 2 shams and 8 pillows on it. I want it as if I'm walking into a hotel room every night.
But that's just me.
It's not just you
My bedroom is my sanctuary.
When I enter it after a long day I want to feel peace and tranquility - ahhhhh.
It's kind of sad that some of the younger people here haven't at least HEARD of hospital corners.
I think our country would be so much better off if like Israel we required every 18 year old to spend 2 years serving in the military, male and female.
In addition to many other life skills, the military will make sure you know how to make a bed, lol!
I know not making a bed may seem like a small thing to some people, but to me it is indicative of an undisciplined, even rebellious minded person in general.
Egad!! Id BURN those things! Gah I hate unecessary pillows. Ive often wondered who decided it was a good thing to put a bunch on the bed that never get used?
And...forgive me...but whats the point of ironing sheets?

I'm sorry, I would be dead if I spent any time in the military with some idget of a drill sargent telling me how to make a freaking bed.
I make my bed a few times a week maybe. I'm not impressing anyone but myself and it sleeps just fine whether or not it's made. The only important factor for me is clean sheets, which I do wash weekly.
But no, I've never heard of hospital corners, and from that video, I could have gone another 29-30 years without hearing about them. Too much crap to only use a few hours a day.
I am having the hardest time finding affordable pillows (regular bed pillows) that keep their shape/fluffiness/hold up to washing when necessary and are not ridiculoulsy expensive. Even the ones I've paid a bit more for aren't keeping their shape as long as I remember pillows lasting in the past. I guess everything just is getting more cheaply made/crappier, even if the cost to consumer doesn't go down. I use synthetic fill, not down, and I don't care for memory foam ones.
Also, a neat, smooth bed is so inviting at the end of the day.

damned throw pillows, I hate them. they take up valuable space that real pillows could occupy.
YES! They are for my bed. We have 4 pillows for sleeping with and 6 decorative pillows currently plus a blanket or two that gets folded across the bottom of the bed (they are mine...I get a lot colder than the husband so I need extra blankets).
