Twitter/Facebook Poll Results: Do You Make Your Bed and Have Decorative Pillows?

Happy Saturday folks! On Thursday, I took a rather random poll of our Facebook fans and Twitter followers and posted this lovely shot of the master bedroom from Sarah's House season 1 to find out two things:

1. Do you make your bed every day?

2. Do you have pretty pillows that you would never sleep on?

Well folks, the answers poured in! Over 50 Tweets and posts from all over and the results are:

  • Out of the 52 answers, 32 say they make their bed every day
  • 12 say they don't
  • 30 say they have pillows solely for decoration
  • 4 say they have pillows for decoration, but they're usually on the floor
I find it interesting that people who don't make their beds every day still have the pretty pillows to go on top! And I love the honesty of those four people who say the pillows usually end up on the floor, made bed or not.

Here are some of my favourite replies:

Sarah's husband knows not to sleep on the pretty pillows (or else!), while Jay isn't sure he would use the word "pretty" (fair enough, sir):

 

Good point Anne, everyone needs to throw a pillow sometimes!

 

aisletoaloha's husband is one of the ones who doesn't get the pretty pillow idea (there were a few people who expressed the same):

 

So if you haven't answered, go ahead, take the poll and leave us a comment! Personally, since I leave later, I make the bed (unless I'm running late) and we have one pretty pillow that isn't used for sleeping.

Personally, I would LOVE to have a freshly made bed everyday. Unfortunately, that's not reality. You see, my husbands retired (not by choice, he's got a really bad ticker) - I still work - and I leave the house by 6:45 every day. When I leave, he's in bed and when I come home - sometimes he's in bed.

Yes, I like to make the bed..the room looks cleaner when it's made.  As for decorative pillow...used to have them on the bed.  Now, nope...got over that little obsession.  The simpler the better!!

Yes to both questions, however due to the very warm weather, all extra dressing has been stripped from the bedS (Master, Spare RmS..= 4 in total).   Am using only layers of Egyptian Cotton sheets 'n cases with bedskirts.

Am finding 'the no-frill approach',  is  making  life much easier  during this hot spell.... regardless that I have AC.      :)    -Brenda-

Getting old and needing pillows between our knees for our backs' sakes and sometimes an extra one under our heads when we're lying on our backs, so we have 6 regular pillows on our bed -- no room for decorative ones.

Yes to both. Our master is near the front door so I like to keep the bed made and enjoy coming home to a clean room. I keep piilows to a minimum, two that we sleep on two in shams on top of those and two small oblong in front of those with one more larget oblong in the center in front of the two smaller.

Also yes to both, but only 2 in shams, matching the quilted  white bedspread. My cat naps near the pillows, considering herself to be decorative.
