How do You Like Your Bed?

[naut]

I thought I'd open a poll, and I've never seen a question like this before. Personally I like a firm mattress with a duvet. What about you?

[Csargo]

I'm a manly man. grrrrrr. I sleep on the ground. grrrrr

[Fragony]

As firm as possible, hate soft beds, and waterbeds are downright evil how can people sleep on that.

soft mattress nice blanket, i struggle to sleep in any other conditions to be honest, numerous times i have gone camping or slept in a car and the best i manage is an hour or two from about 0600 onwards, the one time sleeping in my friends car i ended up going for an hour and a half walk just to tire myself out a bit more.... still struggled to get to sleep after i got back....

I prefer mattresses that are neither hard nor squishy -- I like them right about in the middle in between firm and soft. For covering, I usually just go with sheets and a comforter. I sometimes add a blanket during the winter, however, particularly in January and February when it's coldest.

With company.
Although, a duvet is a must. Blankets are just uncomfortable.

Dam you Craterus! you got there first

My prototype "Cyro-Chamber" is suporier to all other devices...

I don't like the word hard... more like firm. The Firmer the better in my opinion. Mrs. Waki however prefers soft and squishy, so we HAD to buy a King so I could have a firm mattress on one side, and she could sleep on the other. Naturally, I thought the Girls would want the softer cuddly mattress and heaps of blankets as my Wife likes, but the more and more they come crawling into bed, I find that they've changed allegiance and prefer the sparse blankets and firmness of mine, rather than hers. Naturally, I get peeved every once and awhile because I'll turn over in the middle of sleep and nearly crush one of em', and then I can't fall asleep for the next hour or so trying to readjust to two little invaders on either side of me.

Voted hard mattress with sheets/blankets. I tend to think of my mattress as 'firm' rather than hard but my wife would say otherwise and she's probably more objective. Soft mattresses give me a back ache. I voted sheets/blankets, since that's the usual American thing, but I grew up with duvets and my parents still use them. It doesn't really make a difference to me.

Haha, I did consider adding that to the poll.

You forgot a "number of pillows" category...I go to hotels and they have a dozen ridiculous pillows on the bed. Usually fall asleep without one, it's nice in the preliminary stage though.

I'd have to agree, anything over one is too much. Takes up space and hurts my neck.

[Ferret]

I prefer two staggered pillows so I can titlt my head slightly, much more comfortable. And I have a firm matress with a duvet, which is not full of feathers unlike the ones Sasaki has seen...

[Ramses II CP]

Since I think the firmer the better, I posted the 'hard' option. I sleep quite well on the floor, seems to do wonders for my back problems. We have a tempurpedic, which I really like, but the wife wouldn't let me get the most firm option so I sink into it too much.

The number one indicator of whether or not I'll have a good night's sleep is what's under my head. If I have good neck support I can sleep on a rock, but if my head and neck are all twisted up I'll probably end up staying awake all night.

Other.

I like my bed with Ashley Massaro in it.

[Mikeus Caesar]

On the occasion i do sleep in my bed, a firm mattress, and a blanket or duvet depending how cold or warm it is. Otherwise, i'm quite happy falling asleep wherever. Numerous times while camping there has been no space in the tent, so i just sleep outside the entrance, or next to the fire. Just me, myself, and the cold hard ground. And maybe my Swedish military trenchcoat if it's a bit nippy.

[Ravencroft]

firm with blankets.

that way i don't get too cold, and i get to rest my aching body... Gah! Commuting to and from college.
