A duvet that never has a cover on

Is this weird?

Buying a duvet from Primark etc and not buying a duvet cover, just using this duvet as it is?

Anyone do this?

Just got DS a coverless duvet and the whole thing goes in the wash. So if the duvet would fit in your washing machine and you can dry it easily I dont see the difference really.

The material on a duvet normally
Isn't very comfy unless you buy a nice cotton one

However, my son has cover list. Davies one is a PlayStation one and one is a Minecraft one, but I've seen other ones too. They just got in and out a wash no problem as they are sort of "stitched like quilted

Depends. I've seen a few cover less duvets so if it's one of those then it's supposed to be like that.

Depends. Eiderdowns didn't have covers. A sheet went underneath.

A light duvet could be washed.

It isn't standard but does it matter? Not hugely, unless never washed.

I don't know anyone who'd do this unless they were in very severe financial hardship. But having said that it's not really gross, as long as it fits easily enough into the washing machine and gets cleaned regularly. But surely washing a cover is less laborious than a whole duvet?

You can buy coverless duvets where the whole thing can be washed, that would be better than using an ordinary duvet without a cover on it.

Ugh no.

And I say that as someone with fairly low standards!!

Well, it's not usual no. What are the circumstances. Student bedsit, struggling elderly person, someone totally skint?
