I have at times gotten rid of both fitted and flat sheets, and slept between two quilts. Totally comfy. Who said the only way to make a bed was with those sheets, anyway?
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I think, Omnis, you might just want to make the bed when company is coming. Duvets and throw pillows make it easy.
Du-whah? ::snerk:: I dunno. As a guy, won't I loose a lot of 'man-points' having a duvet? ::/snerk::
Erin, what is this Apartment Therapy you speak of?

omnis, just don't call it a duvet. Refer to it as a "that thick blanket-thing" and your Man-Cred will remain intact.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVE just having a duvet, but my DH is totally old school when it comes to the bed--sheets, hospital corners, the top sheet folded over just so. He makes it every day, so it isn't a big deal, but I miss my old duvet days..
Omnis-- a duvet is GREAT, Something like this: [link] Then, you have just a bottom sheet and you straighten the duvet over it and you're done! Tidy-looking and comfy bed, and no fuss.

What's the difference between a duvet and a quilt and a comforter?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
There are plenty of non-girly comforters out there.

To add: well, I know what quilts are, of course, but am still baffled at the difference between a duvet and a comforter.

Duvets are thicker?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of duvet with cover, and no flat sheet. It's a little hassle when you wash the cover to put it back on, but that's less than the daily hassle of straightening sheets. Then all you have to do is flop the duvet on the bed and it's more or less made.
This is totally me.
Once I gave up the top sheet, I felt completely liberated. Now, I can almost make the bed while I'm still in it.

AFAIK, a quilt is a thinnish cover which is meant to be put directly on the bed on top of the sheets. A duvet is a thicker item which is meant to be put on a the bed inside of a washable cover, and serving as quilt, blanket, bedspread and top sheet all in one. A comforter is thicker, like a duvet, but has no cover and is also meant to go over the sheets.
