Upgrade to: my partner and I had separate beds. Both disabled with different needs, his bed was hard as a rock but mine was too soft for him. Best sleep we ever had as a couple.
Who claims which pillows? As an older couple with aches and pains, my husband and I need certain pillows for his back, my knees, his neck and my shoulders... wow!
At one time in life I thought I would be married to a man with whom I would share 2 vehicles (USA here) and we would simply have both car keys on each key chain, therefore whoever left first could simply take the car easiest to get out of the driveway, etc. Yep, never happened - not once (with 3 husbands ;-) Besides! I like my car!!
When I was younger I met my uncle randomly whilst I was going home, he had just stepped out of some business meeting and he offered to give me a ride home. So we go to the car, he unlocks it, we go in and then he's completely confused why the key doesn't go into the slot. And then he goes "fuck! This is your aunt's car!", he had her fob on his keys but not the car key in itself and she had parked in the same parking, we saw her car while looking for his. Had a good laugh at that one.
We switched sides when I got my dog. We have a sliding glass door in the bedroom and so when the cat or dog wanted out she wouldn't wake up to so I had to crawl over her to open because fuck you if you think I'm standing up. So pretty quick I got the good side of the bed.
Mattresses should be replaced with a new one about every 8 years. Five years if it's of low quality or experiences heavy use. High-quality mattresses can be used up to 10 years, depending on wear. If one sticks to these guidelines, no mattress should form a "crater".
More importantly they should be rotated every few months. (In the old day they were flipped, these days mattresses have a top and a bottom, but you should still rotate to switch the head and foot positions).
At least. I have heard many strange things about humanity, but this...this really disturbs me. Are these the same people that love those offices without offices, where everyone just sits down where there is space just then? Oh, and for the take that the mattress gets unevenly worn...just rotate it. And buy a good mattress next time, problem solved.
My wife does too, but won't admit it. If we're staying somewhere different (camping, hotel, friend's place) and the door is in the other side, she'll just happen to pick the side of the bed furthest from the door.
I sleep on the couch and she's in the king. We have a perfect relationship but I can't do the snoring anymore. She is 105 lbs but can shake the house with that apnea.
We did the opposite of this to help comfort my husband’s zombie night terror dreams. Then we moved houses and now he’s in the line of fire. Tried to swap, but it feels weird. I’m just glad he’s the first one the dogs get to if they need to pee in the middle of the night.

I sleep on the side of the bed facing the window because it's colder.

We have 4 dogs, so we sleep wherever there's room. Sometimes diagonally or sideways. It's good for preventing divots

We keep the same sides, always. "Nightstands"?

Couch too. Same reason.

Keeps his/her fat ass from making a crater in the mattress. Alternately, it *your* turn to sleep on the wet spot…

I want this life, but do not have a say in the matter. Left side it is…

Showed this to my wife, she made a weird face and said "serial killers".

Yeah we switch, not every night but every few weeks.

Did she see a doctor?

I just want to be closest to the bathroom, or at least with the most direct route.

Most couples will unconsciously put the strongest one nearest a door.

I am between the husband and the door 😂 if someone's in the house the dog will bark.. and I'll still probably wake up first.

Good, it's more likely the intruder comes through the window anyway.

Windows have bars. I also have these knuckleheads.
