This may have been an off-topic topic before but, if so, please humor me….

Can a no top sheet person ever live happily with a top sheeter? 😂

I prefer a blanket or even a comforter to a top sheet on my personal bed. (I try not to think about hotel blankets and comforters….)

I am willing to wash my fairly think blanket or my thin comforter weekly, so no cleanliness concerns there…

Tightly made beds feel confining to me.

Can two such divergent types—the top sheeter and the no top sheeter—coexist in the same shared space 🤣

Thin blanket

Ai 🤖 had a go at changing my words..sorry

Oh nooo, winter hasn't even arrived yet, cabin fever is already lurking around the corner....and you ask this?

I always want a good cotton top sheet, Egyptian cotton, not some cheap polyester chilly thing, or all the heat will go right up through the covers. I understand some Europeans prefer a bed with no top sheet. Cannot recall the name of the German combination comforter with cotton covering, begins with a "B." But not tucked in at the bottom corners, that makes it hard on the toes...

Yes top sheet, but not tucked in - need that foot freedom to be able to temp regulate and just kick around. (Hate sleeping bags for that reason).
I need a top sheet even on the hottest days (no A/C here) . But it must be a really good quality 100% cotton.

Even when I have a duvet with a duvet cover, I use a top sheet. 🤷‍♀️

Oh, I can live happily with someone who is not a top-sheeter as long as they're in their own bed in another room!

Must have a top sheet. Hard stop. 🛑 😬

I was in the hotel biz for 30+ years. The FIRST thing I do in a hotel room or Airbnb is fold down the duvet, comforter, bedspread, etc.

I too could live with someone …. in another bed of the house!

I just moved to Central America. Am adjusting to the climate and my new home that was 95% furnished. 4 bedrooms. NO mattress covers. New ones are in the washer as I type. I’ve stayed in multiple places in the last 4+ months. None of them had them. 😂

AnnieOakley,

Wait! What!? The bedding is not cleaned after every stay in a hotel? And no mattress covers? That is disgusting. I have a short-term rental with 4 bedrooms and every sheet, duvet cover, pillow covers, and comforter is cleaned after every stay. I do it personally. It takes so long. Pillows, mattress covers, and duvets get cleaned frequently, but not every stay.

For my personal bedroom, this time of year we do top sheets and a down duvet with the same material on the duvet cover as the sheets. So I guess technically it wouldn't matter if we didn't have a top sheet. My husband likes to sleep with windows open when it's cold. In summer, we do a top sheet and a lightweight comforter instead of the duvet. I also started bringing a blanket in for my dog to sleep on when she did sleep with us, and that's continued as a habit. We both like nice sheets. My favorite in summer is good cotton. Right now it's Cozy Earth bamboo. I have the stick-a-leg-out habit when I get too hot.

The sheets, pillow cases are changed after every guest. The old style bed spreads…. absolutely not. Too hard to launder. Today… lots of hotels have duvets that have the washable covers.

Don’t even ask me about sitting in ANY chairs without a towel put down-much less touching the remote before it is cleaned with a sanitizer wipe.

I use a top sheet, but my husband doesn't. I just keep the sheet on my side. It's nice to have my own covers. We do share the duvet comforter, but have talked about getting separate blankets. Now that it's freezing out, we both also have a top throw blanket on each side. He actually has 2. I asked if he wants me to turn the heat up at night, but he says it's fine.

Wife's always been a top sheet person. I'm indifferent. We keep the ceiling fans running full bore 24x7. Top sheet in the summer helps keeping us from getting chilled. We run a lighter comforter during the summer, still having the option of top sheet only or top sheet plus comforter allows greater flexibility for adjusting the under cover temps. I even tend to have one leg out the rest of me under at times.

We keep the house just above 60F during the winter. Flannel sheet and top sheet usually comes out in Jan. Right now we have the winter comforter, flannel top sheet, cotton top sheet, and cotton sheet. We had been avoiding the flannel because of them hindering mobility. So far that is working very well for us.

Oh I can not sleep without a top sheet. I do not tuck it in, so my bed is not tight when I get in.

Just put the flannel sheets on a few weeks ago and my only complaint is that it feels like having a blanket on me instead of the crisp feeling of my top sheet. I am also a frequent sheet washer- I do them at least twice a week. It’s more about how they feel than a cleanliness concern. I also like the smell.
