I never use a top sheet but I wash the duvet/duvet cover once a week.

I am iffy on duvets and sleep above a fitted sheet and below a top sheet and light blanket
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
also if the sheet and blanket aren't tucked under the end of the bed I get fussy

If the sheet and blanket ARE tucked in it makes me want to die.

Laurel you must be talking about a comforter that you don't wash, right? Cause I change the fitted sheet and duvet cover once a week making a top sheet just an extra nuisance imo.

I don't mean don't wash ever - just less frequently.
i wish i had dishy stuff about my breakup but it's more like nerd gripes.

My husband conditioned ME into the top sheet - I was a comforter sleeper (would wash it monthly or so. I was gross, but only just so..) I like a good tuck but don't bother all the time. If it's too tight it hurts my toes (I am the most delicate of flowers, clearly)

I literally cannot sleep in a bed with tucked in covers. The first thing I do at a hotel is untuck all the bedding. I need my feet exposed.

top sheet yestucked in alwaysbed made...meh, it's nice when I change the sheets but I don't require it otherwise. I'm really only ever in my bedroom to sleep. If I spent more time in there reading or whatnot I would def make my bed.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
My god you tucked in people are all crazy. It gets so hot and stuffy!! The only thing worse would be if you said you wore socks in addition to tucking. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I hate tucked-in as well, feel like i'm TRAPPED
― kinder, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
I have to start out tucked in and cozy, so that I may throw the sheets about in my sleep when I warm up

yes! i feel this way. i cannot have the end of anything be tucked in anywhere while sleeping and must kick it free before i can even think about relaxing in bed.
― rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
tucked-in is the only way to ensure the blankets will be laying evenly across your body when you pull them tight! savages.

if you don't tuck the top sheet in it will become wrapped around your body as the night progress leading to mummification

― Biff Wellington (WmC), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
Rayuela otm. As mentioned earlier I don't use a top sheet but I'd be OK with it if it did. I usually sort of sleep with them covers wrapped around me 1/2 in 1/2 out anyway.
I am surprised at the number of tuckers. I am also near certain we've had this conversation before and think I may even recall WMC admitting to wearing socks?
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
I like to fold the topsheet over the comforter when I pull it up under my chin, and if the sheet isn't tucked in it slides around and annoys me and I hate having part of me covered with sheet and part of me covered with comforter and there is SCIENCE here, these things must be in place or it's sleep anarchy!

i had no idea that tucking was so popular. i was always mystified by what I had been interpreting as some sort of hotel bedding convention that made no sense and was only in place for appearance sake!
― rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
how do your feet not feel all compressed up in the bottom corner of the bed? this i madness.
― pvmic bellvm (goole), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
x-psot - Me neither! Being tucked in is such an awful feeling to me that I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
i wish i could grow up enough to make my bed in the morning - not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) but i don't see this ever happening.
― john zorn has ruined klezmer for an entire generation (bene_gesserit), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
I do wear socks at night in the coldest winter months. I radiate a crazy amt of body heat everywhere except through my feet.
My feet don't get forced into uncomfortable positions in bed because I sleep on my side and because I leave enough slack in the bedcovers at the foot of the bed to allow my feet to move.
― Biff Wellington (WmC), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
do you guys sleep on your back and have your feet sticking straight up?
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
interesting technique, WmC

i sleep any goddam way i feel like and my covers obey
not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) *high five*
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
The days I manage to lay the duvet cover flat and reposition the pillows are good days. It feels better when I get home. Doesn't happen every day though.
I sleep on my stomach with my arms under my pillow. One leg straight, one bent.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
alternatively you can sleep with your head under the tucked side and your feet hanging out the other
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
I sleep on my stomach with my arms under my pillow
i kinda do this but usually one of my arms will go to sleep before i do
― pvmic bellvm (goole), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
maybe i'm crap at sleeping, idk
I wake up with my hands asleep pretty often. :/
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
I sleep sort of on my stomach with my head turned to the side, and often end up with one or both hands under my chest...often get awoken by 'dead hand' fuzziness
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
I'd get one of those body pillows for spooning but I'd probably end up with one that elbowed me in the face
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
Head to the side, yes. I don't, like, face plant into the pillow.

If there were a way to run elastic under the mattress that would hold my top sheet taut and keep it from ever moving, don't think I wouldn't get some.
