  Agreed, fitted sheet on the mattress then straight duvet (with cover), top sheets are bullshit.
context: The top sheet is perfect for when it's too warm for a comforter or blanket but you still need a little something to cover you. Also, you're buying cheap sheets, my top sheet is soft and silky. >
  
  I have this big throw blanket.  It keeps everything at the perfect temp all the time.  Its not as heavy and suffocating as a comforter but not super light either. >
  
  They’re not soft because you’re buying cheap sheets. >
  
  Hell I buy mine from Walmart not even the expensive ones and they feel soft.. >
  
  Sheets are easier to clean. You sweat all night, and the sheet is barrior that keeps the blanket from smelling. You have wash blankets, but not as much as sheets. If you don't use sheets, all kinds stuff gets on blankets. If you start while you sleep, it's easier to wash the blood of the sheet. >
  
  For some reason my period never starts when I sleep. It only happens once I go to the bathroom for the first time. >
  
  The top sheet keeps the duvet cover cleaner so I don't have to wash it every week. Changing a kingsize duvet cover is a pain in the hole. >
  
  Can confirm >
  
  The top sheet is annoyingly thin. Whenever I try to use it I just end up thinking, "get this POS off me." It straddles the line between doing absolutely nothing and doing barely something. It's pointless. (for me) I live in the Northeast and sleep with a comforter and duvet cover year round. If I get hot I vent by hanging my feet out or positioning myself or the blanket so there's less of it touching me. 
  The pros of washing your duvet cover less vs constantly having a thin, twisted up useless sheet is no contest. It's going in the trash 🗑️ >
  
  Yep, the sensation of having a sheet on me drives me nuts. It’s comforter or nothing at all. >
  
  I like to use them as really thin blankets. >
  
  I use fleece sheets so they are nice and comfortable, I also tend to sleep hot so it's nice to use without the comforter. >
  
  Viscose bamboo - you will never go back
  Edit: that’s my summer sheets, stone washed linen for winter. >
  
  Linen =game changer >
  
  I just need my blanket. If it is cold I will use 2 blankets. I hate Sheets and comforters for the reasons you mentioned. They stay right and are never comfortable. >
  
  Dirty and uncivilized. >
  
  I love my top sheet, can’t sleep without it. I know several people that don’t use one though. >
  
  I also hate those things. >
  
  Agreed. They always end up on the floor even when I tuck them in so I did away with them years and years ago >
  
  what's a top sheet? >
  
  ...buy some better topsheets lmao >
  
  Unpopular because wrong >
  
  What on earth is a top sheet >
  
  It's the sheet that's....on top 
  Like you make a human sandwich between the fitted sheet and the top sheet and the comforter goes on top of the top sheet. >
  
  That is so strange, so I’m going to go ahead and completely agree with your post because it sounds like a really, really pointless piece of fabric ahah
  Why would ANYONE want a random loose sheet between them and their duvet?? >
  
  So you just wash the top sheet, not having to take the duvet cover off every week. Or don't you wash the duvet? >
  
  We don’t have top sheets in the uk, I just wash the duvet cover, the fabric that’s there to cover the duvet. 
  It might just be me but if a top sheet is being used to avoid washing the duvet cover every week, isn’t it just doing what pyjamas are already inadvertently doing? Creating a barrier between you and the duvet cover? >
  
  Maybe you call them flat sheets, like I do. >
  
  Holy shit, I had never heard of that before but I just googled it and you’re right they are over here. How maddening >
  
  Agreed! The top sheet is not a valid way to cover yourself when cold. Embrace letting the dogs peek out the blanket, the only way to sleep properly.
