I realized today while "helping" a child put a fitted sheet on a top bunk bed that I am fairly sure it's exactly like what it would be like to put a onesie on a hippo! Anyone?
No help for when the bedding needs to be changed... it's just annoying. but for day to day making the bed, the way they do it in a lot of countries is just have a comforter (like down or synthetic or something) with duvet covers. rather than managing a tangle of sheets and blankets over the bed, you just spread the duvet over the top each morning. We have a loft bed in our spare room and that's what we do.
@slartybartfast I love the comforter idea! It reminds me of how I use to keep my bed made in college. I'd would make my bed and then sleep in my sleeping bag on top at night. In the morning I would just stash the sleeping bag under the bed and voila instant tidiness!
@slartybartfast That's how we've always done it. I hate more than one layer. Just a pain for sleeping and making the bed. Double sided duvet covers are the best. Fold the top down and it looks like a sheet. Done.

I'd love to do that!! DH gets too hot and needs to be able to peel down to just a sheet
Yep, we keep bedding simple, just a fitted sheet and blankets. The fitted and mattress pad are the bummer... Really most of my kids can manage it now, I should have called my sons, because they can hack it, but I wanted it done. Once I get bigger (more pregnant) I refuse such jobs altogether!!! I thought it wouldn't be such a chore. Plus, team work does help... One holds down one side whil you pull on the bottom. But serious the baby hippo and onesie visual will stick with me!
Changing bunk bed sheets is the worst! We have a loft bed and I have to get up there. Didn't think about eliminating the extra sheet. I just don't make it unless im doing the laundry. Which doesn't happen as often as it should lol
