On Christmas morning, many adult children wake up in makeshift beds in their parents’ homes.
To show off these charming makeshift beds, people take part in an annual tradition on Twitter called Duvet Know It’s Christmas, aka #duvetknowitschristmas.
Now happening for the 12th time, user rhodri called for submissions of the ‘eyepopping variety of impromptu sleeping arrangements’.
The tradition was started to raise money for Centrepoint, a charity supporting young homeless people.

Fans of the social media trend have raised over £30k so far.
The sleeping arrangements range from an improved airbed to a desk turned bunk.
One user wrote: ‘I’m in my 9yo nephew’s bed (he’s in my other nephew’s bottom bunk).
‘Phil is in a new and improved airbed (last year he woke up on the floor, some kind of slow puncture).
The room features two twin beds set apart by a night table, as well as all walls covered in patterned wallpaper
The charming trend saw one user having to climb up to their bed in the loft, which they quickly clarified was not a loft conversion, but rather a bed in the loft. Merry sleeping!
’We are all warm and comfy and excited about tomorrow. Have donated to Shelter.’
While another found themselves between a rocking horse, lots of books and cats occupying the mattress and said: ‘Merry Christmas to all my single, childless, adult friends wedged between 14,000 football/murder books, 2 cats, a litter tray, and a creepy old horse tonight (or similar). We got this.’

Some users shared their beds for the night in joking horror.
‘#DuvetKnowItsChristmas regulars will be please to see we are once again in the peach room of doom.
’21 years of marriage haven’t stopped us being issued with the formica stool of chastity.
‘Flannelette sheets and candlewick eiderdowns. Classic #XmasAtTheInlaws’

Sometimes it wasn’t so much about the bed or the location of it, but rather about the bedding on it. One user had a duvet featuring the Twister mat on it, ready to be played at nighttime
Sometimes it wasn’t so much about the bed or the location of it, but rather about the bedding on it.
One user had a duvet featuring the Twister mat on it, ready to be played at nighttime, while another slept right next to Nicholas Cage.
Dr Alice Marples found herself on a camp bed in her brother’s study, right next to a pillow with Nicholas Cage’s face on it.
The pillow she referred to as ‘inexplicable’ reads ‘See You In My Dreams’.
Some just enjoy the comfort of seeing others lovingly made beds, no matter where in the friends’ or families’ homes.
One user said: ‘The thing I find comforting about #duvetknowitschristmas is that the prevalence of houses filled with clutter, lumber and chaos is almost universal.
‘Nobody lives in the houses we see rich people living, where the furniture sits strategically placed in the middle of the room.’
