And not forgetting the hospital way of tucking the corners under
It's no bother changing the quilt cover, don't know what all the fuss is about - easy peasy DingaLong
I used to love making the bed when it was sheets and blankets. The corners just HAD to be right and getting in bed at night was a masterpiece by me. I snuck and wriggled down so as not to disturb the tightness of the bedding. I could never throw the bedding back....it had to stay tightly made. My sister used to make fun of me for doing it
Quilts are ok. I'd love to be able to get into a messy quilt, with it all over the place and squashy, but I can't - it has to be neat and straight and moulded around me.
Oh the little foibles in life

Likewise for me never use sheets and blankets, apart from anything else it is so much easier to make the bed. I have a king size single bed but I use a double doona.
Having said that; in summer I might just have a sheet on the bed as even a doona is too hot.
Can't stand tucked in sheets/blankets. When I stay at a motel the first job is to pull the tucked in sides and end out from under the mattress. Hate the 'tied down' feeling

Re: Duvets
I too hate that tucked in feeling and I pull them out! I bet the people cleaning my rooms must despair of me, lol!I have a synthetic duvet (the new double) but I feel I bought it too quickly. Within seconds of getting in bed it's hot on me so it's just the duvet cover for me while the weather is warm. Every night I chuck the duvet off: I haven't put the two together for a long time...while it's so hot each day/night.

I like to be bound up like an Egyptian mummy with a sheet pulled firmly around me, one reason I have a sheet on top as well as a duvet .
