I've never once used a duvet cover. There are plenty of comforters that look great all by themselves. Sometimes the best solution is to remove the problem entirely.
- ghaff 3y agoI'm not sure it's so much about looks as such as that, if something does get spilled, it's a lot easier to wash and cheaper to replace a cover than it is an entire comforter.
- koolba 3y ago> … if something does get spilled, it's a lot easier to wash … Not eating in bed solves this and some unrelated health problems.
- ghaff 3y agoScabs can also come off etc. Various ways to get bed linens stained. (I don't eat or drink--other than water--in bed. A cover just seems a reasonable precaution.)
- ninkendo 3y agoAnd not peeing on your hands is good too, but I still wash my hands after going to the bathroom.
- seszett 3y agoHave you read the article? Children don't need to be eating in bed in order to soil sheets.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoThe commenter probably uses two sheets, one above and one below the body, so their uncovered comforter is protected from body soiling processes.
- stanleydrew 3y agoAh yes, "you're holding it wrong."
- throwup238 3y agoDon't shit where you eat. Don't eat where you sleep.
- xp84 3y agoAnd don’t sleep where you shit!
- kaikai 3y agoI’m sorry that you can’t think of anything messy happening in bed other than eating food.
- Cacti 3y agoI hope you don’t give that one to your guests.
- metadat 3y agoThat's a rather gross way to live (not trying to dunk on you, this is my attempt at raising the level of awareness). I wash my duvet cover every other week. Clean bedding and sheets are one of the simple joys in life. It isn't much work, great ROI.
- mrj 3y agoSimple, you just wash the whole comforter and live happy and clean without ever having to deal with a duvet. I wish I had done it sooner.
- metadat 3y agoTotally, that works as long as it isn't filled with down feathers. Cheers.
- Symbiote 3y agoWhether this is practical presumably depends on the typical room temperature — a thick/heavy duvet suitable for a cold climate would be inconvenient to wash that regularly.
- mrj 3y agoAh.. yes, true. I live in SoCal. :)
- andrewl 3y agoThere are different ways of setting up a bed with a duvet. In the United States a bed would most commonly have a fitted sheet on the mattress, then a flat sheet on top of the fitted sheet, tucked under the mattress at the foot of the bed. You sleep on top of the fitted sheet and under the flat sheet. The duvet goes on top of the flat sheet, so it basically doesn’t touch anybody in the bed. The other way is to eliminate the flat sheet, and have the duvet inside a regularly-changed cover, because, without the flat sheet, the duvet is in direct contact with the people in the bed.
