Ever blow dried a mattress??

It was easier than trying to turn it by myself :-(

I can't imagine if it's a king sized bed. Unless you're talking
about a stain. I can't imagine blow drying or turning it by myself.
Pay a neighbor kid to help? Just be sure to check that you haven't
hidden anything before she or he arrives! :-)

Super-king bed in fact. I've been waking up at about 4am
sweating rivers......... and hubby (who gets up and leaves
the house after me) just throws his share of the duvet on
my side of the bed when he leaves - so when I get home
the bed is still *clammy* and there isn't time to air it
properly before bed time.

It's either turn the mattress over or find some way to dry it
out.

I wondered what the story was behind this question.

What about leaving a fan blowing on it all day? That should
suffice. If the day is too long, can you put a fan on a timer?

How about putting a few layers of towels under the sheet, and
then removing them and hanging them up to dry when you get up in
the morning?

The most difficult thing, I expect, will be to train your hub not
to throw the duvet on your side of the bed! Maybe you could
force him to sleep on your damp, clammy side...

Something to consider later, how about a good, washable mattress pad?
I've got a washable wool one, and I can throw it in the washer when
needed. Of course, that size would probable require a commercial washer,
but maybe you could get a wool pad the would just go under your side of
the sheet. Wool is great at wicking moisture, and as long as you have a
sheet between you and the pad there shouldn't be any skin irritation.

Bummer!

We've got a "king sized bed" -- only it consists of 2 twin beds
pushed together. That was intentional, separate mattress/spring
systems, to let 2 restless sleepers toss and turn without jouncing
the other party. Also makes turning the mattress easier, and i
can unmake it and push the beds apart to clean under it.

I'd probly try putting an electric blanket on it, on low, from get-home
time to bed time - maybe with some books or shoeboxes to lift an
edge of the electric blanket so the evaporation isn't trapped?

I always like solutions that let me walk away, instead of standing
there bored to death holding something! Slow cookers are also
a marvelous invention.

Or an extra sheet folded in half on your side of the bed. Cotton
sheet. Whisk it away to the clothes dryer when you get up and its
ready for that night. Put it on "Fluff" with no heat and add some
sort of dryer sheet with it for smell and you are all set.

Eeeewwww!!!

Oh, sorry 'bout that. It wasn't directed at you. I'm just tired of
buying nice clothes on eBay and when they're delivered I have to wash
them 2-3 times to get the icky fake flower smell out of them. *sigh*

Well, I figured if she was going to just dry them with a dryer sheet
which now come in some nice Frebreez (?) scents it would be
preferable to (ahem) sweat?

Joking aside, the smell of Febreeze actually makes me feel
physically ill and the new trend of having laundry detergents
and fabric softeners that contain "Febreeze style" chemicals
"to keep your clothing *fresher* for longer" is highly
unpleasant. It doesn't seem to be an allergy, per se - the
smell - which I can detect from several yards away - makes
me feel sick.

I know what you mean, I feel the same way about a perfume that makes
me verrrry sick if I even get a whiff of it. The name is Chantilly,
its an old brand and I have felt this way about it since I was a kid.
I don't know why because I love perfume....all kinds, except that one.

Different people like or dislike different things...right?

Must be! Back in NineteenNevermind (actually probably 1970 or so)
Cosmopolitan Magazine (just what every 16 yr old needs to read)
told me that 'Joy' by Patou was my signature scent. On investigating,
i found it was, like, *only* the most expensive perfume in the world -
or just about. I wondered for the next 36 years, just how it smelled
and just how magical/wonderful/indescribable it surely had to be.

Last year it occurred to me to try ebay, and somebody had the eau
de toilette for 29.95. I decided to indulge myself and try it.

YUCK. I absolutely hate it. To me it smells harsh and sour and just
awful. I must be the only person on earth with this reaction. Just
my particular olfactories i guess!

No, you're not. Those magazines never get my favorite scent right,
either. I'm constantly told that as a brunette or Sag or adult woman or
someone who wears dark clothes (where do they come up with this stuff?),
I should go for heavy, oriental perfumes.

I hate those. When "Opium" was all the rage, I found myself gagging on a
regular basis. My perfumes of choice have always been light and citrusy
and flowery. Back in the 80's, I liked Anais Anais.

When I was a teen I wore Estee Lauder Youth Dew. If you have ever
smelled it you won't forget it, and probably won't like it. It's VERY
strong, it lingers in the air when you walk pass, it clings to your
clothes, it is like a force unto its self. Well, I finally got away
from that and went on to Beautiful, still Estee Lauder. I like her
perfumes. I get compliments all the time about how good I smell.

8~) This leads me to my next perfume peeve -- ALL you can get
anymore is pressurized spray bottles. You canNOT just touch a
drop or two onto yourself, you have to squirt the way-too-much
amount they dictate that you squirt.

I spray my Jontue onto a Q-tip over the bathroom sink, then dab
tiny amounts with the Q-tip. But that:
A.wastes the stuff (yeah, so you'll buy more sooner) and
B. smells up the bathroom even if i rinse the sink. The whole point of
using very little is that scents give DH headaches unless they are
used VERY sparingly.

Of course i can put the scented Q-tip into a ziplock bag and use it
for a couple more days.
