I would never use one but think the purpose could be to warm the feet in a cold climate, or to protect the quilt top if anyone in the household is in the habit of sitting on the bed to remove shoes and socks.

Great to keep my hubby's feet warm. His are always cold, but adding another full size quilt makes me too hot. Sure fills good in the winder when even my toes are cold.

there was a picture of one posted by Mucky in S. Texas a while ago that was beautiful.But if you go to search and punch in Bed Runner there are some pretty ones to look at. They are nice foot warmers or just decor.

Hi, No don't think you shouldn't make it for them in the winter it gets pretty cold some times. Last yr we used our heat more than all the 20 yrs we've lived down here. It's not like being up N with snow but your blood thins down here so if you've been here awhile I'm sure they would appreciate anything warm for those days. I know I have afghans and fluffy blankies people have giving us for gifts and really appreciate it. We will be in the living room with the blankie up to our nose. Hope they enjoy them. Sue

All of these ideas, especially the pockets, make bed runners definitely useful and worth making. I'm going to try one for myself.

We have also run in to them while traviling, on a cruse all guest are asked to use them when taking a afternoon rest as it protects the spreads.And some people do not like to remove foot ware.

I keep an old quilt on my bed. Its white side up as the otherside is pretty sad and faded. I use it mainly as I have a little dog that likes to take naps on my bed during the day or if I amy laying down. He does have his own little bed for sleeping .lol. Any way I have thought about makeing a bed runner for the bed but I am wondering what the proper size would it be for a queensize?

Never heard of them that way, but sounds good to me. I think it is a really nice touch.

bed runner for warmth. Bet
