I was very interested to find that my MIL uses a bottom sheet, top sheet and then a duvet. As she said she only has to change the sheets each week and she has trouble changing double duvet covers anyway. Thinking back my Mum also had a sheet on under the duvet. |

We do that on the spare bed - it saves fighting with the duvet after an overnight guest has left. |

I also have 2 sheets and a king size duvet (on a double bed - it hides the junk underneath :-( ) |

Same here, I've always had a top sheet and duvet with a fitted bottom sheet. We never have more than a 4.5 tog duvet all year round and in the summer you can push the duvet down and have just a thin sheet over you. The duvet cover gets washed every couple of months which means it keeps it's new look longer which is good when you have matching curtains. |

Yes we have two sheets plus duvet. All for less washing. |

same for us, bottom & top sheets & duvet/doona. I find it difficult to get the doona cover on and off., and wouldn't want to do it every week. |

Just a duvet cover (king-size) and bottom sheet for us - I don't mind changing the cover and, if OH helps, it's easy. I do Mum's too as she can't manage it now. Was hoping she might get a single bed when she moved into her flat but she prefers the double, again with a king-size duvet. I wash all her bedding too so have 2 lots to iron, though I don't iron fitted sheets... |

I heard (a long time ago) about a man who was "batching" for a couple of weeks while his wife went to visit relatives. |

Of course you could always go the hotel route ..................... the 3 sheet or triple sheet system |

Always use fitted bottom sheet, plain top sheet tucked in well at the bottom, then kingsize duvet (on double bed as no room in bedroom for kingsize bed which is longer and my preference) then on top if it's really cold, and because we have no central heating, a large woollen blanket which falls to the floor, preventing draughts. |

That sounds like a good idea Sylvia. |
