Sheets and blankets or duvets?

I don't think I've ever owned a duvet, but I love the concept. I use sheets and a comforter and am quite cozy with that. I can't sleep with just a sheet, no matter how hot it is. I have to have some sort of weight on me or it just feels strange. I think it may be due to growing up in New England where it was very cold in winter and we had a poor (sometimes NO) heating system, so we bundled up under at least two blankets and a bedspread. I guess it's just a comforting feeling to me.

I have always slept under duvets for as long as I can remember, in fact I'm in my bed under my duvet right at this moment! I like to be warm in my bed, even in the summer (although i live in Britain, it's hardly a huge change in weather!) And I do just love snugling under my duvet. And I also have a habit of spending whole days just infront of my laptop or the TV wrapped up in my duvet. Talk about being lazy but I love it! :P

I prefer my duvet. I can wrap it around me like a sleeping bag if I'm not warm enough, and feel snug as a bug in a rug. In fact, a lot of hotels in England, use duvets now. It seems to be becoming the national trend. I far prefer them to the old starched sheets and multiple blankets. (They seem to have eliminated the starch now). They do, however, put a sheet beneath the duvet, which I don't do at home. I just have a fitted sheet on the mattress, and the duvet on top. That way, I can easily shift it and wrap it around me to my heart's content. Brightest Blessings.

We don't even own top sheets! When I buy sheets I only buy the fitted one that covers the mattress. I hate the feeling of the sheets on my skin. I have a couple of extra soft blankets that I sleep with. My husband sleeps with the big bulky comforter. I don't see how he does that, it is SO hot under that thing! We sleep with seperate blankets. I don't know when we started doing this. I think it was when our daughter was born almost 2 years ago. She sleeps in the middle. She hates to be covered at all; so she sleeps with no blankets at all. If she is awake and you try to cover her she will yell at you. If you try to be sneaky and cover her when she is asleep she kicks the blanket off in a matter of seconds. Obviously we don't have the problem of one of us having more covers than the other.

Why can't you call them comforters? Ok, duvet it is. I sleep with 2 of them on my bed because it is inevitable that I end up with one of them rolled and cocooned around me and my SO is holding on to the other one for dear life by the time morning comes. I've literally sat up in bed and punched him (in my sleep, of course) to get more blanket then I had. I don't mind being too warm but I HATE being cold.

Oh yes I remember as a child having sheets blankets and bedspreads, but I far rather the convienence of a duvet these days, if it is extra cold I still have snuggle blankets which I will put on top of the bed for extra warmth. The blankets I used to love were the cellular crocheted type ones, for some reason the wholes made thenm warmer, I suppose thats why they still have these type in hospitals and for small babies. Ellie :D

I prefer duvets (or quilts as I prefer to call them - is there a difference? Or just a different word?) I'm sure we've always had duvets, well except when I was little and we had proper summers where we just had sheets and maybe a thin blanket. I don't find it any harder or easier whatever we have on the bed. I like the heaviness of a duvet. But my partner and I still fight over it even though we have a double bed and a King size duvet to ensure we are both covered but he still manages to lie right in the middle of the bed on top of whatever covers are there!

I have a comforter, no sheets. But i would love to have a duvet.. i almost got one at xmas time from my mother inlaw.. but she said that the baby would probably puke all over it as soon as i put it on the bed. Hm. i thought that was rather rude. . but she gave me a gift card to purchase what i want anyways. . which wasn't rude afterall! however.. there was not enough to buy the duvet lol. So i got a new comforter, some fitted sheets, and a new lepord skin throw. I think they provide you with sheets and a small blanket in the hotel because they DO NOT wash the duvet or comforters.. isn't that nasty?!!

I have to have my blankets, because then I can add and subtract as I need. Plus then my hubby and I can be under separate blankets, which is a must for us because I will not only pull them off him, but then wind up tossing them off the other side of the bed in my sleep, so we BOTH wind up uncovered. Poor guy. So I have to go with sheets and blankets. Depending on the temperature and my mood, I want drastically different amounts of covering over me. Not that they're going to stay on all night anyway with my restless sleeping habits, but I can't go to sleep without them!

I'm a duvet kinda gal LOL much easier to put throw them on the bed and take them off.

I only use a sheet rather than a duvet when the weather is very warm and the windows are open. I would have to say I think my DOG ends up with most of the covers by the end of the morning! My boyfriend and I always struggle for enough blanket as well as enough room in bed with my dog taking up most of each!

Well I think im a little bit greedy!!..I use sheets..soft brushed cotton ones..plus a duvet!!!...lol..the duvet clings to the sheets therefore ensuring a better sharing of the bedding!!!!!!!A minus point comes on wash day!!!!
