@KDemo buy a second one? Buy three more! Hell, register another account so you can buy six more! You can put one (or more) in every room of the house, or hell, one on every chair in your house!
@KDemo sure I am! I’m helping Meh sell out of these blasted comforters so we can get some more knives or speaker docks or something. Besides, you’d be getting something you clearly want so it’s a win-win-win situation!
Typically I would laugh like hell with it being spring and all in the Northeast, but this years it’s still freezing I wish I had one of these as a second comforter it’s still so darn cold!
@skuppy same. king size or bust! (separate king comforters and separate king couch blankets for my partner and i. the more nesting material the better.)
These blankets are awesome. They clean really well, the colors are great.
I’m really psyched that the write up mentioned two comforters for married people. My new favorite podcast “My Own Worst Enemy”'interviewed an insomnia expert who said that exact thing.
@naropa my wife and I have been using separate comforters for the past 10 years. Greatest idea ever. If it’s really cold out, we’ll sometimes share a 3rd comforter
@capguncowboy yep, probably said as much on some other comforter sale but when i met my partner over ten years ago he had two comforters on the bed. this was just a function of…well, i don’t want to insult bachelors by saying bachelor-ness but perhaps you have a mental image of what i mean now. anyway, it turned out to be awesome in practice. no flat sheet for us, either.
Here I am, sitting with my tiny milk-drunk 14 week-old daughter that just spit up all over our comforter then passed out on my chest, and you’re telling me you aren’t selling king size? I’m meh-ing so hard right now.
@meddlingmonk consider right sizing to a more reasonable queen size bed. Your munchkin is feeling seasick and lost on that interstate sized king bed. And your crazy overpriced washing machine will thank you for not overloading it.
“For the first few years you’ll want to snuggle, but after that his snoring and her starfish-style sleeping position wall have you each retreating to the furthest borders of the bed anyway.”
@RiotDemon i’m guessing that wasn’t because of the comforters. hey! at least they’re an ex now.
personally i get all my snuggling in on the couch. but in bed, i have to sleep on my left side, and he likes to be pressed up against the wall. also, i run extremely hot and body heat in bed essentially turns me into a radiator. very uncomfortable. in my more single days i would let people snuggle me in bed but really i was just laying there waiting for them to fall asleep so i could move or leave and go home to my own bed, lol.
I had one partner, briefly, that snuggled so much in his sleep, it was slightly overwhelming. It was a nice change from absolutely nothing at the time though. Even when he was sleeping, if I started as the big spoon and then rolled to my other side and away from him, he would roll over and become the big spoon. He didn’t seem to wake up to realize he was even doing it. There was one time that he rolled away from me, and then he reached back to grab my arm so I would get closer to spoon him. Not sure if it would of worked in the long run.
My current partner is fine with cuddling for a bit and then sleeping close without smothering each other, maybe only touching hands, my arm across his chest, or something similar. My only complaint is that he doesn’t stay over enough!
My ex would sleep at the edge of the bed and then complain that I pushed him there. I found out from other people that when I sleep, I don’t move once I get onto my one side… So my ex just really hated sleeping within a foot of me.
@RiotDemon funnily all three of these encapsulate my partner. when we were first dating/hooking up even though i was physically uncomfortable, i did find it adorable that he would sort of follow me around in his sleep. he was also the only person to notice when i tried to sneak out and followed me out the door and down the stairs to kiss me goodbye.
now, our sleep/cuddling resembles the middle bit. close but not actively holding each other in some way. (unless i’m drunk then i always ask to “get in” and he lifts his arm and i lay on his chest and later we wake up and my neck hurts and he’s covered in makeup and drool and it’s really just…lol.) i actually have this thing where i need my hands to be covered while i sleep so i routinely just wedge my hand, palm side down, flat, underneath him in some way.
all that said, there is a long standing joke about his side of the bed being a sliver of space by comparison.
when we moved here three or so years ago we upgraded from a queen to a king and it didn’t make a bit of difference, haha. i think it’s because i like to build a big nest with a body pillow and whatnot and i generally get in bed at least an hour before he does. and because of the position of the tv i’ll sort of end up bent over like an upside down L to watch it…and then fall asleep. if it’s particularly cold i might also invoke “pillow boyfriend” where i am not only hogging the bed but doing so while holding his pillows. lucky for him, although i’m a sound sleeper, if someone so much as whispers my name i wake up and things can be adjusted
@RiotDemon ps, your ex sounds like a cowardly ass. if you ain’t into me, you ain’t into me, but don’t make up excuses to blame me because you feel bad.
@jerk_nugget to be fair, this was the same guy that kept elbowing me to tell me I was snoring. One night he elbowed me so hard that I actually stayed awake because I was fuming angrily. As I laid there, I noticed that the dog was snoring pretty loudly. The ex actually angrily yelled “(my name), stop snoring!”
I lost my shit at that moment, screaming at him that he’s been elbowing me forever and it’s the dog actually snoring, and not me.
I mean, jeez… I knew he was half deaf, but the dog was on his side of the bed. Lol
No one besides him has ever complained about me snoring.
@RiotDemon omg! actually reminds me of an old roommate…who was always texting me telling me i needed to come home because of this or that, somehow everything was always my fault. we were friends beforehand but made the mistake of moving in together when our lives were diverging. it was so bad i almost never stayed there when they were around. i often went to my parents in a different state, even. one night he angrily texted me that i had left the front door to our apartment open that day and my dogs were ‘going crazy.’ i was like ‘i don’t know what you’re talking about, i’m not even in the state and haven’t been all weekend.’ smh. some people…
@RedOak I don’t even know where that’ll be yet. Trying to get other parts of my life fixed first before I put the effort into figuring out where to live that isn’t with my parents.
For the first few years you’ll want to snuggle, but after that his snoring and her starfish-style sleeping position wall (sic) have you each retreating to the furthest borders of the bed anyway.
Huh? Speak for yourself! Almost 30 years together, four kids, two of them out of college and one of those married, and we’re still regularly getting in plenty of “practicing”.
What the hell, people? I thought we were more advanced, more wise, more anything than our polyester loving 1970s Americans. I guess we cannot have anything nice; just what they give us.

I was hoping it was going to be polyester alternative.
@norman8 What do you call a down alternative? “Up?” “Sideways?”
@mehcuda67 there are 5 alternatives to down: up, strange, charm, top, and bottom.
@meddlingmonk Fun fact: “top” and “bottom” quarks used to be called “truth” and “beauty”.
@meddlingmonk 5 quark s for you!
@Kawa that’s so much better than top or bottom. I don’t need to know a quark’s bedroom position preference.
/giphy truth quark
/giphy beauty quark
Cover up tonight eh meh? Maybe I should say cover down???
Got these in an earlier appearance. Liked them enough to get more. They’re reasonably warm, & look good.
Down, or not at all.
And the poly cover really kills it.
Not sure I want one so I’ll sleep on it and consider it in the morning.
/youtube Get Down On It
No burgundy? No deal.
@UncleVinny
GARDENIA DOWN! I REPEAT, GARDENIA DOWN!
Cheap chopped chicken feathers? Perfect!!
(The photo is the Dick van Dyke episode called cheap chopped chicken feathers.)
"Oh, down!"
This is the one I love! Lightweight, super soft, good all year (with additional covers in winter).
Someone talk me out of buying a second one, please!
@KDemo buy a second one? Buy three more! Hell, register another account so you can buy six more! You can put one (or more) in every room of the house, or hell, one on every chair in your house!
@jbartus You’re not helping
@KDemo sure I am! I’m helping Meh sell out of these blasted comforters so we can get some more knives or speaker docks or something. Besides, you’d be getting something you clearly want so it’s a win-win-win situation!
@KDemo I have bought THREE of these now for diff beds. I love them! Esp for summertime.
@KDemo you know you want to. If it was wrong it wouldn’t feel so right. Go ahead click that buy button.
/giphy feels so right
Sell a decently priced all-cotton comforter/quilt and that’ll be something special. These polyester whatsits are a dime a dozen on amazon.
Typically I would laugh like hell with it being spring and all in the Northeast, but this years it’s still freezing I wish I had one of these as a second comforter it’s still so darn cold!
@Stallion You realize that the Northeast only has two seasons? We have Summer and Winter. Fall and Spring no longer exist.
These are great: Soft, comfy, and lightweight. They keep you toasty warm and hold up nicely after repeated washings.
Jokes on you this time Meh! I only buy comforters when they’re King size!
@skuppy same. king size or bust! (separate king comforters and separate king couch blankets for my partner and i. the more nesting material the better.)
Silver Sage, Sand, Ivory, and then White! Someone lost their creativity! What about Fluffy Soft Cloud or Adam Levine’s Bleached Hair?

I was all ready to buy one…but no king size. Sadly, I’ll wait.

@cinoclav I saw it too but figured to leave it alone since they promoted @TumperChick and no one has the medical kit yet - that I know of.
No black, no grey, no red, no sale.
@MrNews yep. These color choices are sad.
Me and the ex used two different comforters.
We never snuggled.
It was depressing.
@RiotDemon i’m guessing that wasn’t because of the comforters. hey! at least they’re an ex now.

You have these, like I asked! …before I move, so I can’t justify buying it yet!
@Kawa have them shipped to your new place. Bing. No need to move them!
