While I've never dealt with a partner who is a bed hog, I do have a friend who is notorious for it.
If you were having a sleepover with her or sharing a bed in a hotel room, there was no chance of a good night's sleep.
While I've never dealt with a partner who is a bed hog, I do have a friend who is notorious for it.
If you were having a sleepover with her or sharing a bed in a hotel room, there was no chance of a good night's sleep.
If you were unlucky, she would somehow steal blankets, pillows, or even knock you off the other side of the bed.
It left me seriously wondering if saving money on the hotel room was worth it.
Eventually, she just became used to sleeping on the hotel room couch.
In fact, there is a growing trend of couples choosing to sleep in separate beds or even rooms, simply for the sake of a good night of sleep.
The trend even has a nickname: The Night Divorce.
It could be conflicting work schedules, disagreements on how much light needs to be in the room, different body temperatures, or the classic loud snorer.
After having the most restful night he'd managed in 30 years, he never went back and my parent's are both happier for it.
Also a big culprit of Night Divorce: the bed hog.
The technology monitors road markings and will automatically nudge a vehicle back into its lane if it begins to stray towards one side or the other.
Sadly, it's a concept, not an actual product.
It's part of Ford's "Interventions" series, which tries using car technology to solve mundane problems that many of us deal with every day.
One of the project's most famous concepts has been the Noise-Canceling Kennel, which lets anxious dogs feel safe during noisy events like fireworks or thunderstorms.
I would love one of these for my shih tzu, who is terrified of both of those things.
When they do, an integrated conveyor belt gently shifts them back to their side of the bed. Basically, the mattress is the conveyor.
Since the person with less space is usually being kept awake by the hogging, a quick rollover seems like a small price to pay.
But I still kind of love the idea. If they ever decide to manufacture a real product, I'd consider it for my next bed purchase.
It's design like this that immediately tells you that car people worked on it, not home decor people.
I mean, it may be cool to some people.
Imagine that jagged behemoth in a small room built in the 1910s. Nope. Also, all those angles would really get confusing with my equally angled ceilings.
Some joked about Ford products needing regular repairs and others smugly tagged their bed-hogging SO as a not-so-subtle dig.
Check out the video below and tell us what you think of this concept.
