A California TikToker had the internet ready to take to the mattresses after revealing she and her husband choose to sleep on different sides of the bed every night.
Angelina Murphy — posting as @renovatingourhome — dropped her boudoir bombshell in a video that has racked up roughly 1 million views.
“Okay I really need to know if we are alone in this— do you randomly pick which side of the bed you are going to,” Murphy queried.
The Los Angeles resident frequently uploads tutorials on revamping one’s domicile. However, things quickly went from soft to extra firm on her feed after followers saw Murphy divulge in her recent post that she and hubby Skyler switch positions on the regular.
“We do not have a regular side of the bed that we sleep on,” admits the residential makeover maven in the clip, which shows her sitting on the couple’s bed. “It’s never discussed, we just randomly pick a side where we sleep.”
Murphy proceeds to explain how she slept on the right of the mattress for a night, before transitioning to the left for several nights in a row.
She says that whenever she broaches the subject, people label her seemingly sacrilegious slumber habit the “craziest thing they’ve ever heard.”
Apparently hoping for validation online, Murphy shared the bed, bath and beyond crazy arrangement on TikTok, where viewers bellowed in protest over her flagrant bothsidesism.
“This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard,” exclaimed one viewer.
“I think I’m even more surprised that you found each other and are both okay with this,” said another.
A third quipped, “I’m single, and I have a side of my bed.”
“Slept on my wife’s side once … felt like I was in someone else’s home entirely,” said one flabbergasted commenter.
Meanwhile, others wondered how the couple arranged their nightstands with all the switching around.
One traditionalist explained, “I have things. My things. On my side. Chapstick. Water cup. Lotion. Hair ties. My things.”
Murphy addressed this concern in a followup video, explaining that she and her beau get by by having interchangeable phone chargers and “glorified junk drawers.”
Beauty products, meanwhile, reside in the bathroom and not the bedside table, per the clip.
“We definitely didn’t expect this video to go viral at all, but we are finding all of the comments and the general response super funny!” Murphy told The Independent.
Meanwhile, research has revealed that unusual slumber patterns can reportedly ruin relationships.
A recent survey found that annoying nocturnal habits such as incessant alarms and thunderous snoring have prompted a third of couples to file for sleep divorce, in which partners sleep in separate rooms.
