Give wife to sort or if you don't have a wife, screw it up and throw it in the back of the cupboard/wardrobe.

Luxury! When I were a lad we used to dream of having a blanket. We had to make do with worn out sacks.

Mattress - Protector - Sheet - Sheet

 

[Semple]

dust mite allergy, so:

mattress -> zip up dust mite case -> fitted sheet
pillow -> zip up dust mite case -> pillow case
duvet -> zip up dust mite case -> duvet cover

don't need a protector coz I don't pee the bed or have periods, not sure why that's even a question.

toppers are for peasants who can't afford good mattresses.

I wash bedding weekly at 60c to kill dust mites, so it gets worn out and replaced quite a lot.

You still sweat though (unless you're Prince Andrew) which would potentially leak through onto the mattress. Dribble is the other one - if you roll off the pillow and head is directly on the mattress.

You have a duvet or sheet+blanket on top of course... the blanket is just like a mattress protector function....

And given it was how my mum did it (and dad) and a large boarding school of 400+ boys I suspect its not as weird as you suggest

Must be one massive blanket, all the ones we have only cover maybe half the bed.

I'm sure these things were made to be unfoldable - especially if they have elastic on the edge. It's just not physically possible to make a square with them.

Let's throw in a hand grenade here...

Anyone else use those little elastic suspender type things that grip the sheet to stop it from coming away from under the mattress?

 

[ristac]

Interesting... I'll have to have a look at toppers... any recommended types/thicknesses?

People underestimate the health benefits of sleep and choosing the right bed and mattress. I swear by this one.

Fitted sheet

Duvet

Sleep between fitted sheet and over sheet. i find that way you can get away without changing the duvet cover a lot longer, and just wash the two sheets.

Love the discussion about how to fold the fitted sheets, I haven't a clue, I fold them a few times in such a way that the funny corner bits are hidden, but still ends up as a mess I'm not happy with. Thought it was just me.
