Feat
Pimp Your Bed
Show your bed some love! You spend one third of your life there, give or take, and it's worth paying attention. Consider a new set of sheets, a cozy blanket, or a better bedside lamp. Whatever else you do, though, to complete this feat you must make your bed every day for the duration of the challenge.

this would make my mom so happy!
Submitted by Fraidy on 12.28.09 at 01:45.
judges, i need some official rulings. If I share a bed, and am the first person out, but convince the other to make said bed (strongly against his will), do i get credit for this?
And, no, it isn't that important to me, but he and I had an argument about this, where he said he's not doing my work for me, and i said that convincing him to do it is more work than doing it myself.
Submitted by sandyliz on 01.01.10 at 08:20.
LOL! I totally agree, sandyliz. This challenge really does involve family members and roommates, what with all the cooking at home, fish for dinner, pimped out bed and energy-saving. My dear husband agreed to do ten feats (but no workouts) with me for January (including Jan Plan Plus!!!).
Submitted by whatodds on 01.02.10 at 08:25.
i love this challenge! I propose to either make or buy a load of new throw pillows and get some new sheets. btw, one of my things to live by is to make my bed everyday...neat bed, neat mind? seriously it somehow helps me feel more organized
Submitted by urbansherpa on 01.05.10 at 11:31.
The Boy has such an annoying tendency to oversleep and be late for work (after I've already left) that there isn't a hope in hell of him making the bed! Shame, as this was a challenge I could tick off myself quite happily.
Submitted by CakeOrDeath on 01.09.10 at 02:00.
I'm wondering if it counts if I make my half of the bed when I get up.
Submitted by yeahredgymnast on 01.10.10 at 11:19.
I make my bed everyday, so no problem here. :)
Submitted by volcane09 on 01.11.10 at 03:28.
yeah i am working at home now and making my bed in the morning helps me create "edges".
I already have great sheets and comforter. so i going to finally put up those curtains i have had sitting here in my bedroom. get a decent bed night lamp, and i just ordered a new pillow.
Submitted by anilop on 01.11.10 at 06:02.
Oops, to soon.
I bought my bed a microsilk, microfiber "down" blanket.
I see I still need to make the bed every day.
I'll be back.
Submitted by @HereNow on 01.11.10 at 07:06.
just posted a pic of my freshly pimped bed. organic cotton shetts.....yummers.
Submitted by Saucyd on 01.12.10 at 01:01.
This will be a hard one, but I know I'll feel better when I come home from work each day to a nice tidy bedroom. Will take my special quilt (handmade by me!) out of storage and put it on the bed, which will motivate me to make it every day. 100% hand-quilted, made with fabrics designed by Laura Ashley.
Submitted by have5cats on 01.12.10 at 01:49.
I just bought new sheets yesterday! Good timing.
I attempt to make the bed every morning, but my BF banned me and does it himself because he says I do a crappy job.
Submitted by tiffany on 01.12.10 at 10:06.
New quilt (to help with the 20 degree weather), new sheets, vacuumed and rotated the matress, and a new bedside tray to hold my sleep journal and water.
Submitted by sidneystiles on 01.12.10 at 11:20.
Sandyliz, so sorry it took us so long to make an official ruling. If you convince him, credit is yours: feat accompli!
Submitted by Charity D. on 01.13.10 at 05:29.
I have bamboo sheets (I love the feel of these), a down comforter and my bed is made each morning, even with the furkids that try to help.
Submitted by lhlady517 on 01.13.10 at 07:11.
snagged some new sheets & a new comforter - so far so good on the making the bed too. yeah for polka dots!
Submitted by artichkme on 01.15.10 at 10:31.
thanks Charity. But now it doesn't matter, as I am back in a bed by myself. Which has to be made, because its the couch during the day.
so, another Feat on the way to completion!
Submitted by sandyliz on 01.15.10 at 12:27.
New down comforter!
Submitted by KKesquire on 01.15.10 at 04:15.
I got awesome new sheets and new lampshades for our bedside tables. I already make the bed every day so I can confidently say this will continue to happen.
Submitted by alicetiara on 01.15.10 at 04:32.
I make my bed (nearly) every day, and love the way it gives the bedroom a relaxed and welcoming air.
Submitted by Trix on 01.16.10 at 10:14.
I make 2 beds every day. I like coming home to a made bed, then I don't look at the mess in the rest of the room.
Submitted by jan1965 on 01.20.10 at 05:57.
I have these amazing new cozy flannel sheets! PLUS I've added pillows under my knees (sleep on my back) - I am so comfy and cozy, I look forward to sleep every night!!
Submitted by michlny on 01.21.10 at 12:44.
I make my bed every day and change my sheets every week... but today I thought I'd go shopping for some pimps. Unfortunately I didn't find any I liked.
Submitted by kornflowers on 01.24.10 at 07:56.
In a NY apartment, making your bed every morning is almost a must! Nothing makes the apt look messier than it is than a bed that's unmade.
Pimp: de-cluttered nightstands, new simple vases, and new shams for the bed.
Submitted by @certainDISASTER on 01.31.10 at 01:51.
i LOVE doing this. It's on automatic now. Whenever I leave, even if I'm in a hurry, my bed just doesn't look right not made!!
Submitted by ramonalisa30 on 02.01.10 at 01:09.
Totally pimping my sexy self in my bed with a new satin nighty... trust me when I say this- this is totally new to me!
Submitted by Llaves on 02.01.10 at 02:30.
33 consecutive days of making by bed - I don't think I've EVER done that before...
Submitted by swell1 on 02.11.10 at 03:00.
we're nuts. but...we did pimp my bed!
Submitted by msh258 on 02.11.10 at 11:02.
making my bed when I get up instead of before I go to sleep - a habit that I think is going to stick.
Submitted by gleam on 02.12.10 at 10:09.
makin my bed every day, got some sky blue 620-thread-count sheets and a new quilt... yumm
Submitted by kornflowers on 02.12.10 at 10:44.
I'm not winning any super-pimped-bed prizes...but feat accompli nonetheless!
Submitted by babarbanel on 02.12.10 at 12:04.
this has started to become a compulsion. i actually feel a little anxious until i make it. my mom would be so proud and so very, very surprised.
Submitted by twinklefee on 02.12.10 at 12:18.
The new pillow was totally worth the money, and I've discovered that the bedroom stays cleaner when the bed is made. I'm more inspired to want to hang up my clothes or put them in the hamper rather than toss them in the corner if the bed looks nice. Who knew?
Submitted by neversent on 02.12.10 at 02:47.
Not a big stretch. I do this every day, anyway.
