How to fix my bed...

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’ve got this internal argument with myself, how do I make my bed.

The big debate is where to place the pillows.

I bought a bed-in-a-bag set and it comes with these fancy, schmancy pillow shams that match the comforter (queen-sized, fwiw). I bought a couple $3 pillows to go inside them so now I have four pillows on the bed, two in standard pillow cases that match the sheets, two in shams that match the comforter.

So, options:

  1. pillows under comforter, (they peek out the top, the comforter is about 6" too short). Shams cover the peeking pillow cases on top of the bed.

  2. pillows on top of comforter, shams on top of pillows trying to conceal under the little skirty-thing they have…

  3. get Opal to fix my bed for me…

Option 2 is what I would go with. Stand the pillows up, don’t lay them flat, and then put the shams in front of them.

I usually just don’t bother with the shams and put them away in the linen closet, though.

Option three is the obvious choice.

Option 2 of course. Make sure that your regular pillow cases cooridinate with you new Bed in Bag. Then if they peek out the side they’ll still match. If you don’t want to buy all new sheets, just buy the pillow cases.

Someone gave me one of these last xmas. My solution was to toss the shams/dust ruffle and use what was left. It worked for me. :wink:
