Duvets

The Backwards Man

I love my duvet. But I couldn't abide anything else in bed, no extra sheets or throwovers for me. An undersheet, a duvet and a pillow, and I'm anybody's.

What do you have in your bed?

Not to go all nerd on you people :pac:

But I was watching a programme on BBC1 years ago and they said a Duvet loses body heat much much faster than a blanket. So here is a tip for the winter: Put your blanket on top of your duvet.

You can thank me when you are baking in the bed :pac:

Baking in the bed is just lazy.

Light fluffy duvet and a pillow, although most of the time I end up pushing it to the side and sleeping without anything over me.

Meangadh

I'm a duvet-only kinda gal. Blankets? Ain't nobody got time for dat.

But strictly duck down & feathers duvet and pillows, none of these crappy synthetic fibres. You need to be able to mould your body around the duvet. I have the cosiest duvet ever. Ugh I've to get up now

There's a furry blanket on top of the duvet and a furry cat on top of the blanket. Is snuggle heaven, my bed. And everything is hypoallergenic, except for the cat.

I still have me continental quilt

Me, my comforter, my 3 pillows ...and a book.

Found a horse's head in it this morning.

Muise...

sometimes books, in winter a hot water bottle, hours of happy dreaming.

I always have a woolly blanket on top of the duvet in the Winter to give it a bit more weight.

I share the bed with a woman so it goes without saying that the bed is covered with a heap of irritating, superfluous shite like fancy cushions and silk throwovers that I spend the whole night booting off the bed in a temper.

Super-Rush

Sometimes i put a duvet between the sheet and the mattress.

put a pea under the mattress on her side of the bed. If she notices it, I'm afraid that means she's a real princess, so you'll just have to put up with the fripperies.

Have to have a sheet between me and the duvet, just feels wrong without it.
Also cannot stand tucked in sheets.

As a side note does anyone know where you can get a duvet that has a higher tog rating on one side?
I'm quite content with a summer tog during the winter while the missus would like to have a duvet thick enough to reach the ceiling. One that has a dual rating (not talking about the ones that you can split in half layers for summer /winter) would be ideal and I doubt I'd be the only one who would like this.

Just use two singles. That way she can't hog it on you either.

I have a duvet (cotton covers only) bottom sheet and many pillows for propping myself up to read/watch tv/browse webs comfortably.

Very important at this time of year is the electric blanket and it's timer. There is nothing nicer than getting into a toasty bed at the end of a long day when it's icy outside.

Herself treats the bed as an extension of her wardrobe. So...as well as the mattress protector, undersheet, duvet & pillows I've got a pair of trousers she wore two days ago, yesterdays top and assorted other discarded items.

She's lucky she's a fox, I tell yer...

Pillows, fleecy blanket and duvet

Depends how insulated the house is. In most, even in coldest winter, a 13 tog duvet will suffice, maybe with the addition of a hottie bottie. (and sometimes a hot water bottle )

But in a cold house, a blanket is required too, mainly to prevent leaking in of cold air.

Dogs, foxes, horses heads??? Beastiality is rife in AH.

Gulp... Electric blanket, sheet to lay on, sheet on top, duvet, throw, four pillows and another patchwork quilt goes on if it is nippy. What can I say I like the weight. Oh and himself.

tmc86

Just put the winter duvet on and now use the summer duvet for under my base sheet. Its like sleeping between two clouds.

Also have a blanket at the end of the bed to keep my feet warm, hate sleeping in socks!

4 pillows but one comes off and I sleep with 3.

DoozerT6

Mattress cover, bottom sheet, duvet (with a duvet cover on!), no top sheet, two pillows, and my fleece blankie on top for when it gets really chilly outside. Don't have an electric blanket, but have a hottie bottie (not the exciting kind ) for the feet when it gets cold enough. I just put the winter duvet back on the bed last week.

And also fleece pyjamas from Dunnes. They are so warm! They kept me as snug as a bug in the leaba during the snow of 2010.

Pretty much up until I moved in with herself, I was strictly a duvet and undersheet only man.

She claimed she couldn't sleep unless she was pinned to the bed under an impossibly tight sheet, so I did what any married man does and I gave in to her quirk.

Then she got pregnant and her once-indispensable oversheet became a nightmarish spiderweb which prevented her from making 3am dashes to the toilet. So it got binned and now with the baby often requiring one to leap out of bed at a moment's notice, she doesn't want it back. Oh yeah.

Though she has brought me around to the wonders of having the extra quilt over the duvet in the winter. Very cosy.

Savoir.Faire

I've always slept stark bollock naked. It's a much more satisfying and unencumbered way to sleep. The eiderdown is a 14 tog during the window, with a 10 being called into action during the summer. This may be dispensed with if I've managed to persuade a lady to visit my humble abode for a good session of the beast with two backs.

That sounds like a brilliant idea! I'm always too warm in bed and the hubby is too cold. Hey, maybe you and I should share a bed instead. No more fighting over the duvet weight

If you are male, I'm revoking your man card with immediate effect for this.

I'm not sure of the orthopedic benefits of sleeping on a cloud to be honest.

As are my flying carpet, sailing boat and train compartment. I can never get to sleep without imagining movement.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I hope mattress and pillow protectors are a given, for everyone, for hygienes sake.

I know people who put the sheet directly on the mattress, as if that's much help in keeping *stuff* off it, long term. Ew.

I haven't been harmed or bothered by *stuff* in my pillows or mattress. And I have the sense of smell of a bloodhound.

I dunno.

You're turning into a bloodhound. I'd be concerned .

I just like the idea of a washable barrier between the sheets and the unwashable mattress or pillows and pillowcases. Maybe it's unnecessary, but it makes me feel better.
