I’m an uncultured slob that doesn’t put my blankets in giant pillowcases. I am happy in my ignorance.
Just so you know. This is unhygienic as fuck if you sleep in the regularly. It’s basically how you get bed bugs.
You get bed bugs by bringing infested items/animals/people into your home, not by sleeping in a bed with no duvet cover
They’re called comforters and very common in many places. I rarely see duvets where I live. You just wash them periodically like anything else.
Bed bugs need to be introduced to the home from a source somewhere and a duvet cover won’t help if they are.
You mean dust mites? You get them regardless, but I agree that it’s nicer to reduce how often you need to wash the duvet, better for the environment as well.
Omfg yes. I am under this duvet so that I have a heavy warm blanket over me. Not some shit ass excuse for a fitted sheet.
I’m 41 and I still don’t know what a duvet is or why it needs covered.
Come sleep over with me.
Since I’m not a native speaker, I had to Google… It’s just a blanket. I put a cover around my blankets regardless of type personally - it’s easier to wash the cover than the blanket.
and you don’t seem to understand…
Duvets are a pain in the ass and both the duvet and cover need to be washed anyway. Why not just stick with comforters with sheets and save yourself the trouble?
At least with down, the duvet cover can be washed more often than the duvet. Plus you can change the color or design without wasting as much material buying a whole new duvet/comforter.
… There are ties to connect the corners so this doesn’t happen on every duvet+cover I’ve owned. Just buy one like that.
Right? And even on ones that don’t, it’s easy to sew on some strips of fabric at the corners
Mine has no straps. I just use big safety pins.
Hell that might be even easier lol
It’s the bed cover that pops off the mattress every morning that shits me
Fortunately, got a new bed cover and seems fine now. Best investment ever
For future reference, these exist:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MZPR43JSo at one point I needed these for a king size fitted sheet that would not stay comfortable, I knew they existed but didn’t know what they were called. What do I look up that gets me exactly what I wanted? Bed suspenders…
I thought I was the only one.
Just use blankets and/or comforters and wash them regularly?
Duvet covers are from olden times when you had to wash your bedding on a rock down by the river.
No. Because then I would have to settle for some subpar sleeping materials like synthetics or cottons. Unlike my breathable warm and cool and cozy alpaca and wool.
Look at this lucky person who’s not cursed with a 7kg “efficient wash and dry” machine that you can barely force a duvet into, and the program takes 7+ hours.
Oh man, high-efficiency washing machines is a whole other post. I want my $200 washing machine from the 90s back.
Sometimea you have to think outside the box. Just cut the comforter in half so you only have to put half in at a time
Laundromats exist
I wish. Maybe that’s true in your country… it’s the law that landlords provide laundry facilities, and so there’s no real demand. There’s only one laundromat in the entire country, and it’s hours away - in Stockholm. And I’m not crazy enough to dryclean my duvet.
In theory. I can never remember to go haha. I have a bunch of stuff in a pile but it’s just not part of my routine so it never happens
We tie and clip the corners
It’s why I abandoned the duvet lifestyle
Yeah I don’t agree with that lifestyle at all.
I need weight on me to sleep. I also have a weighted blanket. For the last winter because it was so cold I slept under two duvets and the blanket.
I think I could make a fortune going around teaching people how to do their bed, cause I never had huge existential problems like these. It’s crazy.
Duvet makes no sense to me.
That’s what they make these things for:
I have learned to just accept that and live with it. Works about 60% of the time
I’m so picky about my blankets.
That’s why you tie them in at the corners…
Wait. Does your cover have laces in the inside corners? Or do you make knots externally? If so how are those knots not the size of fists?
Mine does. They work alright, but the duvet still slips a bit.
