My answer is ABSOLUTELY YES. We have it down almost to a science. Once we're both up, we each make our side (not necessarily at the same time). The only time it doesn't get made is if dh sleeps in, then he doesn't, and the next time I go in the room I look like this dude... :furious

This morning I made my side with him still in bed. :giggle
 
Absolutely. I make it, unless he's really sleeping in (not often). I'm pretty particular about how the bed looks!
 
In theory. I love the idea of making the bed every morning so it's nice and clean looking. but reality isn't quite the same.
 
Yes. For me... no matter what else is going on in the room, what is on the floor or dresser tops... the bed made will make the room look neater. We just use a duvet, fix that, and add the pillows, done.

If I sleep late, I will make the bed. If DH does, he doesn't always... but I sigh loud enough, he might. lol!
 
it is made. Sometimes before we get in it at night, but I have to have it made before I get in, because I have issues.
 
Nope. I get up long before my hubby and he gets irritated if I make my side while he's still sleeping. Probably because he steals most of the covers during the night and I'd be ripping all the covers he's currently using. :giggle He goes in spurts where he makes the bed after he gets up, but currently he's more fond of sleeping and extra five minutes. :)
 
To keep my dust allergies at bay, I only have a sheet and a blanket but I do straighten them once I get out of bed.
 
nope. (which is why I have ALL white linen: white, pillows, sheets, comforter. it fakes the look. HAHA!)
 
In the weekend: yes!!! In the weekend: when there is no tightened morning rush!

This is me too. In general I don't care that much about it looking neat, but DH is a very messy sleeper. If he goes to bed first and the bed hasn't been fixed, then I'm stuck trying to wiggle my way into a tangled mess or with only enough covers to cover half of me. It does not make for a comfy night of sleep! :p

I've complained about it enough times now that usually if he's ready to go to bed and sees that I haven't made it yet he'll come get me to fix it first. His idea of making the bed is basically one flick of the covers in the general direction they need to go, which doesn't even come close to being straightened enough for me, so he's given up on just doing it himself. :giggle
 
Usually my husband does. LOL But he won't put all the nice pillows on, so I do that part.

I'm definitely in the "must-be-tidied-before-I-can-get-back-in" camp. Who knew there was such a camp!? I feel better.
 
Not lately. On the weekends ...I will make it up since we're not up early running around like we're crazy trying to get out the door.
 
umm, I gave up after kid 3 - because hubby is NOT a morning person and so I get the pleasure of being up before the sun and he might wake up 5 minutes before he has to go to work - BUT, he knows I like the bed made and most mornings HE will make it when he gets up so *sigh* it works!
 
I am not a 'messy' sleeper so I can pretty much just straighten the covers and fluff the pillows and it's made but I am not good about putting the duvet cover and fancy pillows back on.
