Am I the Only One Who Doesn't Understand the Comforter/Duvet Cover Combo??

<p>So why did we abandon the old standby of sheet-blanket-bedspread??</p>

<p>I’m sitting here under a sheet, blanket and quilt. The quilt is like our bedspread. Not abandoned in this house! And this is what is on all of the beds!</p>

<p>Me too! Sheet and quilt. That’s it. If I need more I have a coverlet folded at the foot of the bed I can pull up.</p>

<p>After reading this thread, I want a serious and resounding CC intervention if I ever so much as LOOK at a duvet.</p>

<p>Me too! I love my sheet-down blanket-coverlet trio, because here in my neck of the woods dressing and sleeping under “layers” is pretty helpful for temperature control. :)</p>

<p>I love my duvet without flat sheet, no moving parts.</p>

<p>Thick rubber bands work really well for holding corners in place.</p>

<p>I’ve had my Swiss down comforter for 25 years and it’s as warm and fluffy as ever. It gets washed in warm water about every 5 years and solarized on the line outside every summer.</p>

<p>Agree with the suggestion of Target for soft cotton covers. Ikea used to carry a nice selection too.</p>
