Dumb question/poll: Top sheets

[Deleted]

Do you sleep with a top sheet?  We don't and my mom think it's TOTALLY CRAZY!  lol.  She was like "So.. what do you sleep under?"  Um, a blanket?  I don't need an extra layer.  

[zoidberg]

I'm not an animal, so yes.

[Deleted]

Yes, I do. I don't think I would be able to get comfortable with just a blanket.

[jacquie]

I must have a top sheet or it just feels... wrong. Often, I'll get too hot under the blankets, so the top sheet is the only layer by morning.

[Deleted]

Yes.

I'd rather wash sheets regularly than have to wash my blanket, comforter, or duvet all the time.

[annyong]

Yes? I'm with your mom.

[verycontrary247]

Yes.

If you don't sleep with a top sheet, what do you do with it? Don't they come standard with sheet sets?

[spitforspat]

No - it just gets tangled around us when we sleep so I skip it. Sometimes when it's really hot I'll pull it out and use it instead of a blanket. Otherwise, it lives in the closet.

Lurking but thought I'd chime in since I'm with you! Definitely no top sheet!! Only a blanket. And actually DH and I have our own blankets because we fight over it, plus I like to wrap myself up in mine the top sheet is in the linen closet- it's used for picnics and forts!

[Deleted]

Yes. I'm very weird about this. We went camping last year and slept on a blowup mattress. I demanded we bring a bottom and top sheet for it. DH thought I was crazy. I just cannot sleep without one.

Mostly make forts, but sometimes we play ghost and scare each other.

[BlackCanary]

Yes.

 We both have our own blanket, too!  H just likes this light blanket that I think is scratchy and I like my big comfy down comforter. 

[rageragerage]

We don't use one either. My mom is horrified by this.

[Deleted]

I also must have a blanket. Even if it's hot, there must be some sort of blanket over the sheet. I'm so super weird about this.

[nursewife]

I use a quilt and sheet. I wash all my bedding at least weekly and it's not much trouble.

How often do you sheet shunners wash your blankets?

Read more carefully.

[jayded]

Yes, I get too warm under a blanket.

[ndolehan]

Not normally, but when we do I feel fancy!

The only reason we don't is because I'm too lazy to pick up the sheet/fix it all the time.

[annyong]

This is really surprising to me.

We have good intentions and start out with a top sheet every weekend when I put new sheets on the bed, but by like Tuesday its tossed aside and we just have the down comforter and a light blanket on top of thatl

I posted above about the sheet. I was just elaborating on how strongly I feel about proper bedding.

[lsea0323]

I hate them. I am a light sleeper and flop around all night so i get tangled up in them. It's making me anxious just thinking about it.

I wash my duvet cover on Sundays, when I switch/wash all the sheets in the house. It takes about 5 extra minutes to unbutton and then rebutton it back on. I don't know why it's on Sunday, it's just when I do it. Creature of habit I suppose.

[sparrow]

We alway put one on, but inevitably it ends up in a tangled mess at the bottom of the bed. So, we mostly just using the blanket. I wash/ change the duvet cover every time I change the sheets.

Sorry.  I need to read more carefully.

You are very nice.

[jennifertx]

Yes, we always have a top sheet on our bed.

[sonrisa]

Yes. I also change/wash my duvet cover every time I change the sheets.

[agnes]

I must have a sheet. With some of our sets, H will usually to wad up his side of sheet so then we have this weird, uncomfortable barrier which makes spooning awkward.

Ha! Mine is down too and he thinks it's too hot! Plus it's lined with silk which I like to rub- thanks to my "rubby" (blankie) growing up!
