    I just counted, if I made the bed each morning I’d be trapping the bed sheets under at least 8 other layers of fabric. A comforter, a weighted blanket, and sometimes another blanket. The weighted blanket alone has 5 layers to it, the comforter 3.

      How exactly are there fewer layers to trap moisture when your sheets and blankets are bunched and piled up?

        Where do you think the person’s body was? The spot where all the moisture would be? Probably the big gaping area where there’s a person shaped layback of the sheets.

        The options aren’t “let the moisture out by making the bed” or “let the moisture out by leaving the bed unmade”… the options are “don’t let the moisture out at all by making the bed” or “let most of the moisture out by leaving the bed unmade”.

          What in the ever loving fuck are you trying to communicate with that disgusting bed 😂 Needs more cigarette cartons and used tissues

          You can leave your sheets folded down while you’re in the shower or eating breakfast and then just pull them up when you’re done. I do this every day. Seriously, this takes less than 10 seconds. I also wash my sheets once per week. Do y’all find people who want to have sex with you in a bed like this?

      I don’t know why you’re spamming my inbox with multiple replies to the same comment. I also see you’re posting a random unrelated study about dehumidifiers at other people, while misrepresenting it as a study about bed making vs. not.

      You are simply incorrect about the facts, even to the point of advocating for leaving wet towels in a pile. Amazing. Beyond that I’m not particularly interested in spending any more time arguing with you over the most basic hygiene habits that indicate to others whether you are a child or an adult.

      I can however empathize with the additional complexity of the task if you sleep under a four inch thick 160 pound sheet of lead along with multiple auxiliary comforters. In that situation you’re supposed to fold the heavy items up towards the foot of your bed. Best of luck to you

        The study is about trapping moisture. It references mites in your bed from making it vs not. It’s a simple thing, closing something up traps moisture.

        Stating “you’re incorrect about the facts” when you are the one that doesn’t understand basic physics is the amazing thing.

          Here’s what you said, so you can’t delete your comment later out of shame.

          The study is about trapping moisture. It references mites in your bed from making it vs not. It’s a simple thing, closing something up traps moisture.

          You are a 100% proven liar. The study has literally nothing to do with making a bed vs not. It is about humidity in the whole home.

          Here is an actual quote from the study

          Use of mattress and pillow encasements, coupled with frequent laundering of bedding, practically eliminates mite allergen exposure from beds

          Crazy what ctrl f can come up with. Hey let’s keep going

          Reducing the RH [relative humidity] in the whole house should also kill mites in mattresses and bedding as well and prevent colonization of these breeding sites. Although we did not monitor mite and allergen levels in mattresses and bedding, the lack of mites and allergen in mattresses and bedding in dry climates, such as the Rocky Mountain States, supports this hypothesis.

          Great so they literally didn’t monitor mites in bedding whatsoever, and also note that it’s a complete non issue if you employ basic hygiene practices. Do you? You never answered my question btw, you said a made bed must smell “worse”. Does your bed smell at all?

          As an aside, are your blankets made of impermeable plastic? I have a theory as to how you have become so confused about the principles of evaporation

            Good fucking lord you are a fucking idiot. It literally references the two studies in that quote you provided. Not only that but you are a human. You can make a fucking deduction. Why would you need frequent laundering in a humid environment but not in a dry environment like the Rocky Mountains (go ahead and ctrl f that in there).

            Great so they literally didn’t monitor mites in bedding whatsoever,

            I didn’t say it fucking did! I said it REFERENCES IT. Learn to fucking read! Like holy shit!

            also note that it’s a complete non issue if you employ basic hygiene practices.

            We’ll come back to this.

            As an aside, are your blankets made of impermeable plastic? I have a theory as to how you have become so confused about the principles of evaporation

            Unless you’re using pure cotton or silk sheets then yes, your sheets are made of mostly impermeable plastic. This isn’t some crazy thing. It’s a basic fact of life.

            You never answered my question btw, you said a made bed must smell “worse”. Does your bed smell at all?

            To cover this and the “basic hygiene practices” I point you here: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/your-bed-s-hidden-biome-could-be-ruining-your-sleep and good fucking lord don’t just ctrl f. Read the whole damn article.

            Please learn how to fucking do your own research. And stop spouting off nonsense, especially nonsense that makes literally no physical sense.

              Unless you’re using pure cotton

              You’re close to a major breakthrough here

              Do you wear underwear btw or do you consider it unhygienic to trap so much moisture around your sensitive areas?

                Yeah at this point it’s blatantly clear you are trying to throw as much shade as possible to distract from the fact that there’s zero evidence in your favor. You would have linked it otherwise. Maybe go take a basic physics class.

                Good bye.

                  As a matter of fact, just wear pajamas to bed and the whole problem is avoided yes? All the moisture stays contained by the fabric covering your body?
