    Growing up somewhere cold with usually just enough blankets, I would often need to wrap the blankets around me to fully trap the heat. When the sheets are solidly tucked in, you have to rip them out before you can wrap.

    I am basically never comfortable in a made bed. If I visit a friend and the guest bed has the sheets tucked in, I have this low level subconscious response of “I guess that’s one more thing I have to deal with now.” Not that they are wrong for doing it, but it does grate a tiny bit versus sleeping at home.

      Yeah exactly, I’ll pull it out the moment I enter the bed. Also, I’d rather let the bed “breathe” while I’m not there. I tend to flip the sheets and lay them all the way over the “freet end” or the side of the bed, so both the sheets and the bed/mattress itself get some fresh air

      Haha, I have the same feeling for opposite reasons. I grew up in a warmer environment but kept my feet against the cool exterior wall my bed was next to. Now I have to have my feet uncovered and a fan on just to feel comfortable and tucked in sheets feel like I’m trapped.

      Being human, eh?
