Making the bed

When you make the bed, which way do your pillows face?  Meaning, is the open end of the pillow case towards the inside of the bed or the outside?  K insists that it go towards the inside because this is the way the Army does it (and we know the Army has to be right - lol!), but I've always done it the opposite.  Most of the bedroom pictures I've seen in ads seem to have the opening to the outside too.

 What's your vote?  Settle this debate.

Re: Making the bed

  • What ever way I throw them.

    We each make 'our' side of the bed. Her pillow goes towards the middle mine towards the outside.

    I don't think theres a 'right' way.

  • we always make it with the open end out. i don't think i've ever even seen it the other way...
  • I vote for the open end out.  I am a little confused though by K's army idea since I am pretty sure that the army only instructs you on how to make a single bed.  Last time I checked they are pretty clear that the soldiers sleep separately.  So if is is a twin bed isn't the pillow always facing out it just depends on what side of the bed you are standing on?

  • I've only ever seen out...that's where the trim is! And since when does the army have double beds?
  • Open end is out for me.

    This was my first thought too but it's such a simple little thing that I'm not bringing it up. My post was more out of curiosity than for any real answer.  I'll continue to face her's inward and mine outword and we'll both be happy.

  • What is this "making the bed" that you speak of? lol

    When I get up in the morning it seems like one of the kids always seems to make their way into my spot. Since T is on  temporary leave right now while she is sick so she gets to sleep in a bit and making the bed is kind of a last priority for her. Oh well.

    On the random weekends that I do make it i'm a pillow case towards the inside kind of girl, i don't like being able to see inside the pillow case to the pillow.

  • Of course the army is wrong, and the opening goes towards the outside. The reason is, that you will inevitable roll closer to your honey and you will both end up in the middle of the bed. No scratchy edges, only smoothness.
