Describe your bed.

[BlondieK143]

Hey! Get your head out of the gutter! I'm one of those people that has to have a verrry comfortable bed!

Mine's a full size bed with a purple satin comforter and hot pink and purple sheets. I have 3 regular size pillows, one purple squishy pillow, and a hot pink and purple heart shaped one.

Basically, I just want to make sure I'm not a freak for having so many pillows. :D Spill!

[B Calm]

1. King size 4 poster bed with lots of room to play..

[Maestro]

37. That's mine

except it is a queen with a pillowtop mattress.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. It has a mattress.

And sheets.

And, um...four pillows.

[democratic pride]

3. I have a queen size bed

with navy blue sheets and comforter. I have 6 pillows. 3 are feather-filled (is that their name?) The feathers poke me in the eye so I throw them on the floor.

[demgrrrll]

5. King size pillow top extra comfy. Gold headboard. Quilts and a white

down comforter. Lots of pillows. One pillow is internally scented with lemon grass and eucalyptus.

[BlondieK143]

10. Welcome to DU!

:D

[democratic pride]

11. lol! You welcomed me already

I remember you but you don't remember me:cry:

[BlondieK143]

13. Actually

I just noticed that. LOL. Um, it's been a bad morning, I'm sorry. You know, the name does give it away though (BLONDIE). :D Can ya forgive me?

[democratic pride]

16. I wanted to mention your blonde hair but I thought that

it would be rude:P

[DemBones DemBones]

43. As my daughter and I always say, "Just acting my hair color."

Blonde jokes get very old but they lead to a great excuse for when we screw up (rare as that is, you understand.)

[BlondieK143]

44. But of course!

:D And I'm actually a dirty blonde!

[WritersBlock]

4. King-size soft-side waterbed with chrome bedstead,

placed right in a bay window overlooking the hills across the water. Feather pillows, Eqyptian cotton sheets, and goose-down duvet.



On edit: I am spoiled rotten :+

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Soft-side waterbed? What is that?

I used to have a waterbed, but never heard of a soft-side one.

Your bed sounds wonderful, and wonderfully placed! I could see sitting there having a morning coffee and just watching the snowfall out the window.

Sigh...I hope to have a house someday that I can do a similar thing.

[WritersBlock]

30. It's a waterbed mattress that looks & acts like a regular mattress,

if that makes any sense. It's got a foam surround that keeps the shape of the mattress. You can get a "dual" system that gives each person their own single-sized mattress with individual heaters, all enclosed in a zippered cover that looks and feels just like a king-size bed, only better. You can even get them with memory foam toppers, but we just have plain dual mattresses.

No hard rail to bruise your legs on when you get in and out of bed. And it takes regular fitted sheets, which is a huge plus.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Wow - that's pretty cool! I didn't realize the technology

had advanced so far that they could keep the shape with foam.

Very interesting....very tempting....

[WritersBlock]

33. Oh, go on... you know you want one.

Do a quick Google.

Oh, forgot to mention that some are sold as divan beds (with a base like a box spring for a regular mattress) and some are just the mattress itself. We have just the mattress.

This site shows some of the different styles: http://www.abcwaterbed.com/mattress.htm

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. I sleep on a futon on the floor

(and in case anyone is confused by that statement, remember, a futon is a mattress; the folding thing the futon goes into is a frame - I have no folding thing).

I prefer the floor - I have often times even just slept directly on the floor.

Soft mattresses make me feel yucky.

Though I do miss my waterbed something awful. I had a twin sized waterbed for a couple years once, and I LOVED it!

[BlondieK143]

9. Are you kidding me?

We've gotta get you a frame or something!

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Frame - yuck!

Straight on the floor for me.

Most times, I don't even like sleeping on a traditional-style bed.

No, the Japanese way for me.

:-)

[fluffernutter]

54. is there a reason? like, do you like the hardness of the floor

or you don't like the height of a frame or ??

how is it that regular matresses make you feel yucky?

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. I like the hardness of the floor and the support thereof

Soft mattresses, except when I had the waterbed, don't give me a fitful rest at all. I wake up with my body all out of kink.

The height doesn't bother me at all - I'd be happy to have a platform. But I also kinda like sleeping low to the ground - makes the room seem bigger, and I try to live as much on the floor as I can anyway.

[fluffernutter]

58. you are one interesting guy

the living as much on the floor as you can thing really intrigues me ;)

[sundog]

40. You are not alone...

I always sleep best on the floor.

A good mat & a good blanket & I'm out like a baby.

A bed is just waaay to civilized for my taste. :7

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Empty...

...well, not really. Chuckiemutt's stretched out on it as we speak.;)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. It's a black leather sofa, and I use two wonderful down pillows, a down

conforter, and with this cold, an electric blankie. The pillows and comforter are covered with burgandy damask. The electric blankie is forest green.

Please don't ask why I am sleeping on a sofa.......

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. I have a leather sofa, too, and I often sleep in it

It is really comfortable. It's not the best after a couple nights on it, but for once in a while - especially for naps - it's wondrous!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. lol! This is honestly the best bed I've ever slept on, and I have had

very expensive mattresses. It isn't a pull-out sofa, but it was made by Simmons who is primarily a bedmaking company. Perhaps when they created it, they realized a lot of people fall asleep on their sofas, and made a perfect one for that! There is another leather sofa in the media room downstairs and it isn't anywhere as comfy.

[DebJ]

14. I have to have a comfortable bed, too...used to work 12-15 hr

days on my feet and won't go without one anymore.

Queen size, 5 pillows (4 for me and one for my husband). Queen size used to be big,but not anymore, now that my 6'7" husband is in it with me. I'm 5'10" so I can't take a regular full bed...they are too darned short! I hated it when my feet hung off the end. Poor hubby's feet always hang off, but he says he likes it that way. I guess after 40 years of that, he knows nothing else.

Because of the below zero wind chills, I have 3 quilts, a blanket and a sheet piled on me for the last several nights.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. I just heard on the weather report that not too far north of here its -3.

So we're probably at about 0, and even though the thermostat is turned to 72, it's cold! Darn air infiltration!

We have blizzard warnings in effect now.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. Self-deleted duplicate.

[rug]

18. unmade

[Roon]

20. I sleep on one those rollaway beds you would find in a hotel

Three pillows, sheets,and a green military blanket from the Korean war.

[trof]

21. King air bed

Used to have water bed, but air bed is doubleplusgood.
Pump it up for sitting up reading, TV watching; pump it down for sleep.
Miz t. makes her side however she wants it.
Wonderful.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. Queen Size, Gold Suede Down Comforter, 600 thread count sheets

4 pillows. I have a featherbed on the mattress is the winter-it is HEAVEN! It is also very difficult to get out of bed in the morning...

[madison2000]

23. Queen size with pillow top

last one I had was a little too soft
this one is a little too hard
next one should be perfect, right?

[Midlodemocrat]

24. King sized with magnolia themed comforter

sheets, and pillows and dust ruffle. Lots of pillows. Very comfy.

[bearfan454]

27. King size pillowtop for us.

It is so comfy you can lay down and go to sleep even if you aren't sleepy.

[Dzimbowicz]

28. It once belonged to my great-grandparents

They purchased a bedroom set in 1890 when they married and it is now mine. The bed is hand-carved walnut with a gigantic, ornate headboard. One problem though: people back then (late 19th century) were not as tall as we are today, therefore I must sleep at an angle because I'm six feet tall and the bed is too short for me (no real problem). I found out that my grandfather, who was also six feet tall, had the bed lengthened, but it is still rather short for me. But, what the heck, I love it. BTW, I have their entire bedroom set and entering my bedroom is like stepping back in time (kinda).

[Deja Q]

29. Barren of life forms...

except dust mites. :D

[RetroLounge]

31. 1953 Heywood Wakefield King Size Bookcase Bed

With lots of pillows, a big comforter, a fitted bedspread and pillow shams, and a heated mattress pad. The headboard (example shown below) was my only input in the matter...

My bed is a blonde, my wife a redhead :D

[Wcross]

34. My bed-picture

This is what my bed looks like on any given day. It is really hard to find a spot for myself, I usually have to ask one or two of the critters to move over.

[yardwork]

66. That's adorable! Did the cats and dogs grow up with each other?

I've never seen cats actually cuddled up against dogs before.

[moosedog]

35. oooh....our bed........

We don't have it yet, but .....we ordered a dual queen adjustable bed. It was out of necessity, but it should be nice. We will have caviar, crackers, wine and a good movie. Anyone want to join us? Oh...and we are in our 70's.....had to throw that in.

[Aiptasia]

36. My bedroom suite

I've had it a little over two months now, King size, with serta perfect sleeper mattresses.

http://www.furnitureofamerica.com/laurier.html

[kedrys]

38. King-size bed, brand new 400 thread count sateen sheets...

...pillow-top mattress (the s.o.'s idea, never again!), and cats as far as the eye can see.

5 pillows, king-size as well. But the pillow cases didn't match until yesterday (brand new pillow cases as well). :)

[DemBones DemBones]

45. Neither one of us is happy with our pillowtop mattress.

The stupid pillowtop migrated. . .

[meisje]

39. Why do people always do this when I trying to sleep????

They sneak up on me and screem or try to smash a cinder block on my chest.


Just trying to get a little shut eye here people!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

41. I have 2 beds

My current (Pittsburgh) bed is a lush Coleman air mattress with navy t-shirt sheets (this week), a microfiber faux suede red coverlet and baby blue plush blanket, along with a round red faux suede pillow and one of those Moshi pillows for my neck. As air mattresses go, this is a great one - it's very comfortable. I have this arrangement because I'm in a 1-BR apartment while finishing law school.

The other bed (Dallas), the one my husband gets to sleep in, is a dark cherry wood 4-poster with excellent mattresses (my husband is short and practically has to pole vault to get on the bed), white flannel sheets, a thick down comforter and 4 down pillows. I'm told my husband has purchased a blue quilt to cover the down comforter and protect it from dirt, as well as some pillow shams. I've not seen these yet. This bed is SO comfortable, and I'm looking forward to trading in the air mattress for it!

[flamingyouth]

42. I have a queen-sized bed

Flannel sheets, wool blanket and cotton blanket (I get cold easily). And a cinnabar-colored duvet and sham set. I have four pillows, so don't feel bad! :)

[BikeWriter]

46. Bed +me in it + PC right here.

:)

[BlondieK143]

47. KiCk

:D

[Samurai_Writer]

48. Queen size, ultra-firm, lots of pillows...

Oh hell, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?



I change the sheets and 'backdrop' (which are curtain sheers) occassionally. Now I have leopard print and black backdrop, black satin sheets, and leopart print comforter on it.

ON EDIT: Yes, those are black, real leather, curtains. They block out the light great (which is good, since that window faces east).

SECOND EDIT: I also sleep on this occassionally, if my dog has not hogged it already. I just bought this futon and it is SOOOO comfortable. Both arms recline to several angles, and flat also. I got it from target.com for $188. Not bad.

[tigereye]

50. this thread is funny

since we just got a new queen-sized foam- core futon yesterday, after having the same old-style futon for many years. It was very hard and we felt we deserved a softer bed. It is very comfy. For many years, our original futon was on the floor, til my husband built a nice frame when I was pregnant and could no longer get up. Don't think I could sleep on a regular mattress at this stage of the game- have been a futon person for too many years. :)

[BlondieK143]

67. Those futons look so nifty!

Was it worth the price as far as comfort goes?

[Samurai_Writer]

68. Yes it is very comfortable!

Wooden futons usually hurt my back. This one doesn't at all. It's perfect for napping on.

[CanuckAmok]

49. I'm very proud of mine.

I designed it, and had it custom-made to give to my ex as a wedding present, but I fought tooth and nail to keep it after the separation, and I did.

It's a modern design combining a blued steel frame and canopy with legs and a head and foot board of maple. It's king size, and is currently made with soft white linen sheets and a neutral duvet cover with a very faint Japanese character motif. It has four pillows, and tsw embroidered cushions my mom gave me, one when I was 10, and one this Christmas.

It's a very tranquil and comfortable space.

[DS1]

51. Square. Flat. Mostly white.

[RevolutionaryActs]

52. I have a full size bed with cream colored sheets with purple flowers and

a cream colored duvet cover over my uber puffy down comforter. I have a purple body pillow, three regular sized pillows (I only sleep with one though), one long pillow, and one fuzzy yellow throw pillow. I love pillows, and you're not a freak for having so many! :7

[Bat Boy]

53. It's an oval wicker basket with a pillow in it.

During the winter I put it next to the radiator.

The dog has a nice queen sized mattress with a big down comforter.

Sometimes he lets me sleep there.

[fluffernutter]

55. kind size bed, no foot/headboard. *lots* of pillows

of different sizes and shapes, soft cotton sheets and lots of quilts for easy layering.

[SarahB]

57. King size cast iron sleigh bed with flannel sheets.

[Cuban_Liberal]

59. King sized.

Ranch Oak head- and footboards, 3 feather pillows, electric matress cover w/3 temp zones, navy and white flannel sheets, cotton thermal blanket, goose-down comforter and a red, quilted, Chinese print bedspread.

:)

[Parche]

60. bed

is this a sex post!!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

61. Queen size, 4 poster, rod iron, with intricate scalloping and Fleur di Lis

I moved my hard as a rock "German" bed to the guest room...( hint hint)

it has a down mattress pad, flannel sheets,down comforter,4 down pillows and 2 "memory foam" pillows. No pillow stays on the bed all night. I tend to push my off the bed.

currently all in white

[Skittles]

62. it's unmade because there is a cat sacked out on it

nt

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

63. here's my bed

!

[politicat]

64. Cal King, no headboard, elevated.

It's 3.5 feet tall, from the floor.

Currently, it wears white 400 TC Pima cotton sheets, a red and black comforter I made (comforters for Cal Kings being nearly impossible to find) a cotton candlewick blanket, and a white jaquard spread that doubles as a blanket in the summer. There's also a temp blanket on my side.

Mr. Pcat wanted a bed long enough for him, which meant a Cal King.

It's hard to change the sheets, and I'm still not sure if I like the idea of a "flipless" mattress.

Pcat

[Aristus]

65. You forgot what it looks like?????

Forget it; you don't get a second chance! :evilgrin:
