To ask for the ultimate vote on separate duvets vs shared on a super-king bed

Just that really. We're about to buy a super-king zip and link, and we'll need new bedding so I need to know for once and all whether to take the risk on two separate duvets!

Context: I'm really struggling with sleep right now, so minimising any disruption from my partner moving about sounds good. However, I sleep with a top sheet so this would mean changing my preferred bedding set up to duvet only (no top sheet).

If I went for separate duvets I'd go for doubles. I already know single would feel too drafty for me.

YANBU: separate duvets are the way to go
YABU: stick with the shared duvet - you'll have plenty of space on a super king.

Best decision we ever made was to have separate duvets. I have a low tog feather and DH prefers a higher tog synthetic, so everyone is happy and sleeps so much better as a consequence.
