Do You Like Cold Bed Sheets & Pillow Cases?

I'm not particular... however, I cannot get into an unmade bed.. I have to make the bed every morning.

I stay in hotels three or four nights/week. I ALWAYS make my bed ever morning. I take pride in getting the edges exactly even and making sure there are no wrinkles in the covers. When I return to the room at night, I find some maids leave it as I made it. Others remake it to their "standards".
A number of years ago, I spent over 600 nights in the same hotel over a 3 1/2 year period. Made my bed every morning. The maid got in trouble. The hotel owner paid a visit and wanted to see a room and make sure she was doing a good job. He randomly chose my room. I had not pulled everything tight and it probably wasn't my best job of making a bed. He blew up at the maid, assuming she had made the bad. When she finally explained that I always made my own, he directed her to remake it every morning so it was "perfect".
I make my own bed in hotels. I gather the used towels and place them in a single location for the maids. I only use one wastebasket so they only have one to dump. And, I never leave toiletries or clothes or food sitting out. Everything is put away before I leave the room each morning. I would not like someone leaving a mess if I were the maid. And, I don't want to come back to a messy room.
 
My wife likes a cold bed... I like a warm bed. My wife likes to sleep with the heat turned way down so the entire house is cold. I like to have it at least 68 degrees F to sleep. She has been good enough to get flannel sheets for the cold nights.
 

Our bedroom is the coldest room in the house since we use a wood stove which is in the living room. We use a dual control electric blanket. I turn my side on Hi 20 minutes before I get in because I'm usually pretty cold sitting in the living room after the stove dies. I turn it off after 5-10 minutes when my body thermostat kicks in. Cold pillow is necessary though. I'm a stomach sleeper so like to have my toes just over the bottom end of the mattress (under the sheets & blanket though).

Good for you! We're almost like you, but not the bed making.....towels, trash cans, etc we do. I figure housekeepers are so low paid and is such a thankless job, anything we can do to make life a little easier for them is the least we can do.
