Only 1 In 3 People Strictly Forbid Eating In Bed Study Says

Two thirds of adults allow food to be eaten in bed – but some foods are just off limits; like soup, pasta and a stir fry. But 34% simply do not allow food to be consumed while under the covers.

Before you say you NEVER eat in bed; consider this. A study of 2,000 people found 47% have eaten snacks or meals in their own bed, and 85% are either planning for, or hoping for breakfast in bed this Valentine’s Day. Who doesn’t love the idea of being woken up with a nice breakfast in bed? This Valentine’s Day, 69% plan to make breakfast in bed for a loved one, while 16% hope to be the recipient of it.

Commissioned by bakery brand St Pierre and conducted by OnePoll, the study finds 52% admitted they can’t fully enjoy eating in bed because they’re too worried about the mess. And while 26% believe it’s lazy, 44% argue that food in bed is romantic.

Other than Valentine’s Day, some situations in which people are most likely to eat in bed are:

• 66% when watching TV
• 54% generally on weekends
• 52% on a date

It’s true that the mess is a concern, and it might mean you have to change the sheets more often. In order to avoid messes, people try:

• 70% a napkin
• 63% a tray
• 52% a towel

Almost half of those polled opted for lounging under the duvet if eating (47%), while 46% prefer to sit on top of it.  And 74% admitted they’re more laid back about eating in bed if it’s someone else’s rather than their own.
