The study split 2,000 respondents into groups of bed-makers and non-bed-makers to see how this simple morning chore affects people in other aspects of their life.

According to the poll, nearly 4 in 10 Americans say an unmade bed is a total turn-off. However, the survey showed that non-bed-makers were mostly unbothered by other untidy folks. While 55 percent of bed-makers found an unmade bed to be a turn-off, only 9 percent of non-bed-makers said they would be troubled by an unmade bed.
