You gentlemen will find this boring but it is a legitimate question for people who make beds.
Does the open end of the pillowcase go towards the outside edge of the bed or towards the middle of the bed? I never questioned this as anyone can see that it should go to the outside edge, then I heard a difference of opinion. I guess there are some uninformed people out there that don't know which way to turn their pillows. What do you think?
Sounds like this question is on par with the old observation as to which way to hang toilet paper from the dispenser.
When it is my turn to make the bed, I just throw 'em up there. ;D Never give it a thought.
Oh, the open end goes to the inside.
It's biblical ... or Republican ... or something.
But it's gotta be that way, for sure.
This is a toughie. Maybe we should ask Martha Stewart. Actually, I place the open edge to the outside as it is generally enclosed in a lacy or otherwise decorative manner and should be where it can be noticed. Which begs the question-----------if there is a coverlet or bedspread covering the pillow, what difference does it make?

Anyway you want to. It is your right! ;D ;D ;D Mine go to the outside 'cause Mama said so and I didn't have any rights when she taught me how to make the bed. Seriously, the main thing is to get it made.
Why bother, you just to mess it up again that night. :laugh: :laugh:
The wife just said that Martha Stewart (who likes to sell shares most anytime she can) says the pillowcase opening end should go on the outside.
If Mama and Martha say it, it must be so! ;)
I put the ends to the out so that the other end of the other persons pillow doesn't flap me in the face if I choose to turn over and sleep with my face to the inside of the bed where the edge of the pillow of the other person is. *whew*..................
Toilet paper has to have the edge over the top so you don't set there clawing at the paper trying to find the end to get the roll started so you can tear off some. *another whew*........................
;D
I learned out side and over the top, but next time I think I'll do it the other way just to stay in the middle. ;D ;D ;D ;D really, who cares?
I guess it would depend on if you are married or not. If you are married, then it goes however your wife puts it on. If you are not married then it depends on how attractive the woman sharing your bed is. If she really is attractive then it goes to the outside so as not to cover her face. If she is just "beer pretty" then it goes to the inside, so you can cover your mistake the next morning. ;D
Now there's a plan! :laugh:
Wouldn't you need two pillow cases for "beer pretty"?

Uhmm red blooded american guys do not have lacy pillow cases! Camouflage yes, lacy no!
What are these pillow cases that you speak of anyway? Coverlet? This sounds like that folded clothes myth that I have been told about.
Dresser - 2 hours = Clothes Basket. Clothes Basket - spouse = pile of clean clothes on floor.
How often do you have to change said Coverlet? Pillowcase?
These "pillow cases" cover your pillow to keep it from getting dirty from the dirt in your unwashed hair when you go to bed. They can be plain or fancy. Women, in their superior intelligence, find it nice to dress up their beds by placing the pilllows in pretty cases. Then to make the bed even tidier, they place the pillows at the head of the bed, either with the open end of the pillow case to the outside edge of the bed or with the open end of the pillow case to the middle of the bed. Does that answer your question?
Just to be ornery, what do you do when you have three pillows, such as a king-size bed. Or what about when you have just one pillow, like on a twin. :angel:

No!
You change them when you change the sheets or in the case of you bachelor types, whenever they are so dirty that even you can't stand them.
in the daytime my pillows are in shams, so don't make a difference. At night I use a memory foam molded pillow and I sleep alone, so what difference does it make? My pillow cases really don't fit that pillow anyhow, so I just fold the edge under. Problem solved!
I am about to enter into the forum confessional booth!
I am so weird about the toilet paper.. that if I am anywhere and the paper doesn't roll off the top.. I change it.

In nursing school we were taught that the open end of the pillow case should be turned toward the door. Usually this is the outside of the bed
OK, my wife just scolded me. Pillow cases in our house go open-end to the outside.
As for the toilet paper quandary, heck I'm just glad to hear that all you conservative Republicans still use the stuff. I figured you used corn cobs and gun barrels.
OK! OK! Take it easy on me. I'm a senior citizen!
That was funny Rudy.
I read the other day that the reason the pillowcases are placed so the open edges are to the outside, was to keep germs from getting in. this was before weekly (or in some cases semi annually........washing of said item....At the hospital we were taught to place the edge away from the door, so bad germs couldn't get into it.
Then again, we all do what we were taught by our mothers and "That is the way she did it!!!!" is always a good reply.
then I read that sometimes arms or noses get caught on the opening of the pillowslips and cause problems.
I say, To each their own!
You know what? We could change the subject to belly buttons, and not have to change the thread title! LOL! ;D ;D

Is the Federal bed inspector a political appointment?
Sure, that's who does most of the royal screwing!
So, that's why the organization in Kansas City that calls itself a Major League Baseball team is so bad. I thought it was because they just suck. ;D
