Coverless Duvets

Who's washing sheets every day? Really???

I am another person who uses a top sheet. I prefer to.
Saves washing the duvet cover on my super king wool duvet every week. I like to be covered when I sleep and sometimes even a light duvet is too hot.

No idea. Certainly not me. I wouldn’t wash my Coverless duvet every day either.

That might be my fault. I said I didn’t wash sheets (or duvets) every day in response to freya’s comment above, where she says that using a top sheet allows you just to wash the sheet and not the duvet all the time. The whole point of a coverless duvet is to simplify the use of bedding. Having to wash the duvet after every use defeats the object.

I don’t know anyone who washes a duvet after every use, or a sheet for that matter.

I have a king sized one which is a bit of a fight to get into the washing machine, however, I always win! In summer I choose a decent day to wash so it can go on the line, and then maybe 10 -20 mins in the dryer, or draped in the garden room for a while. In winter I use it with a cover so that drying isn't a problem. I try to use the dryer only as a last resort, mainly for ethical reasons.
p.s. I'm surprised at how often some people seem to wash their covers!

I have used coverless duvets for years because I like ti wash duvets and my machine will do a single summer weight duvet . It dries very easily over the banister.

In this cold weather I can have as many thin washable duvets on my bed as I want.

I too have Night Owl (double) duvets. They are light as a feather and easy to wash in the machine, dry quickly on the line or, if inclement, over an airer or the banister. I have 10.5 tog which are surprisingly warm despite being so light. If it’s really cold I have a fleecy throw for extra warmth. So much easier than struggling with duvet covers. Best purchases I’ve made ever in the bedding department!

I don't generally wash our duvets at all but do use both a reasonable quality patterned duvet cover and a cheaper plain one underneath. The top one gets washed fortnightly, the inner one less often.

Yes, I struggle a bit to get the cover on but have managed so far.

People who sleep with dogs on the bed do need to be able to wash their duvets.

After another struggle with my double duvet cover!!! and a lumpy looking bed! has anyone here tried a coverless duvet? Are they any good … and do they fit in a normal washing machine? if so what brand did you buy please x

I stopped using duvets years ago. I now only have the quilted throws, which I think you are referring to. If they fit in your washing machine OK, I have a 10lb weight machine takes a king-size throw, then you can wash at 30c. I paid £55 each set 12 years ago, and they are still going strong.

Not if you chuck a throw over the top of the duvet.

I don't have a specific coverless duvet but, since the arthritus in my arms has become so painful, my duvet is put on over the sheet and the duvet cover spread over the top. Doesn't look different!

Good idea 👍🏻
