Sleeping in the laundry room? Or even under a piano? It must mean one thing: You’re home for Christmas.
Protest as you like, there just isn’t enough room for you to be sleeping in the luxury of a bedroom with an actual bed and adequate space.
Those aggrieved with makeshift accommodation have been taking to Twitter for years to show off their uncomfortable sleeping arrangements over the festive period.
#DuvetKnowItsChristmas is the relatable hashtag revealing the plight of those who have to sleep on the floor, sofa, and other weird places in their childhood home.
The tradition surfaces every year after it was started by Rhodri Marsden years ago, when he asked for people to submit the terrible sleeping setups they endured when they went home for Christmas.
Without realising it would become a tradition, Rhodri tweeted about staying in his childhood bedroom, that had been turned into an office.
He ended up sleeping in his sister’s bedroom and wondered if anybody else had a similar fate.
While Rhodri won’t be revealing his fave bedding situations until 9pm tonight (probably from his sister’s room again), we’ve selected our own fave submissions for this year’s edition.
From cartoon bedding to no bedding, to office-side mattresses and one poor guest forced to sleep in the bathroom (yes, really), this year’s bedding is a hoot.
So if you’re planning to sleep in the garage next to your parents’ barely-used gym or in a kiddy bed you’re far too big for, remember you’re not alone.
Here is the best of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas 2019:

Back in the bedroom I grew up in for Christmas.
