My wife an I have some hairy housemates, so we do smooth out our duvets a bit near the foot of the bed (so they have a place to nap during the day). Otherwise I'm with ya.
Yeah… we’ve got furry little idiots that will spread hair everywhere in the bed. It’s a bit nicer to have that on top of the blankets instead of in your bed
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.
I've read that it's better not to make your bed, so the dampness created at night can evaporate. It would be even better to air out your blankets, but it's a good excuse to give myself credit for not making the bed.
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.
There's two problems. The aforementioned thieving, and the midnight strangler as the blanket edge that was nicely tucked under the chin of a side-sleeper gets unceremoniously yanked by a nearby sleepyhead.
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.
