I was reading a “house making” guide from the 50s once. It suggested that you leave the bed unmade for a while and open the windows. The airflow makes sure the inner sheets completely dry before making the bed. If instead you make the bed immediately, all that sweat from the night before will stay trapped and be less sanitary the next time you use it.
I choose to just let stay unmade and air out all day.

Very true. And as much as I don’t like forced gender roles from that era, being able to afford having 1 person taking care of the home allows a lot of extra care into these things.
