To think coverless duvets are pointless?

If you live on your own and have limited mobility it takes a lot longer than that.

I've got 2 lightweight 4.5 coverless duvets. They're warm enough for me unless it's exceptionally cold, in which case I put a blanket on top. They go in the washing machine and dry very quickly.

@Imdunfer sadly, I probably wouldn’t ! I do have a bottle carrier bag made of this stuff, I agree it’s good to recycle it, but that’s the reason they wash and dry so quickly. i was looking at some online earlier they had microfibre cover and recycled bottle filling it sounds ghastly to me as ‘fabric’ for bedding. There must be so much static and it’s not breathable. So not for me, but lots of people others seem to like them though.

I sleep under completely cleaned recycled plastic and many of my clothes are made of the same thing. I think you'd be horrified if you knew what recycled materials you were drinking 😂🤣😂

@helpfulperson so…sleeping under the plastic waste is our only alternative ? No we shouldn’t have to tolerate that. Do you sleep under plastic waste ? It needs to be dealt with

Well it's better than it ending up in landfill or the ocean.

Yes, already said in a PP they’re made from recycled bottles - so sleeping under a load of waste plastic basically, what a con

@twiddleit they certain aren't eiderdowns. They were, of course, called that and used the way you describe because they were full of the down from eider ducks. So they couldn't be washed all the time.

You can use a duvet that way as well, of course, but so many people are using them with animals sleeping on their bed and kids puking on them that most people wouldn't leave them months without washing them.

And their key feature is that they have been designed for regular machine washing and quick drying. So a different name seems quite reasonable to me.

Which one do you have? Size, tog and make?

How is it a con? The selling point is that they easily wash and dry. OP obviously has some combination which doesn’t, but numerous people on here have confirmed that theirs do exactly that.

I got ours due to a child with violent reflux who vomited every night for 3 years. Made a huge difference to the ease of changing the bed. Can be washed, dried and back on the bed within a few hours.

Backs away slowly.....

You aren't me. Your experience is not my experience.

I responded to a poster who said natural fillings never bunch and they DO for at least 2 people, me and my DH.

Some people have no choice.

I'm constantly washing because my son is incontinent and coverless duvets make it that bit easier for me. Also have a dryer for that reason.

We have wool duvets too, love them, ours has never bunched up either.

Agree

We've got a wool duvet, it's never bunched up. It's heavy and flat, I don't think it could bunch up if it tried! I'm a very restless sleeper too.

Yes, it will.

Wool bunches really badly, and down not quite so bad, if you are a restless sleeper even if the sizes are perfect.

A proper natural fibre quilt won’t bunch up in a cover if it’s the correct size. Each to their own but I can’t imagine washing 4 quilts every week and hanging them off my bannisters.

I voted YABU. BUT. I just have ikea washable duvets that live in their covers (I either put little clips when they're in the washer, or one of them I've got around to stitching in)

So basically coverless, but covered and without the whole fashionable aspect.

They fit in my washer (singles no problem, double I often have to pull out an put back in so it'll spin). But only about 4.5 tog not 10 - I use a duvet and a blanket now.

Well we made you feel bad enough to spend time writing this lengthy justification for your discusting behaviour. Your quilt wasn't faulty, you just didn't like it.

Amazon returns aren't shredded they are sold off to secondary sellers. Somebody now is going to sleep under a duvet your dog has puked on.

Ah it's ok if it's frothy bile. Defo wash that and post it back. Puke not ok frothy bile is grand. Wtf.

You can't return puked on items.

This is hilarious.

Agreed. It's absolutely disgusting!

FWIW we are a coverless duvet household. Every bed has them. DH and I have a king sized bed and DDs have singles (all the Night Lark summer weight ones.) I can wash our king sized duvet with the sheet and pillowcases all together in my 9kg machine. DDs two single sets also go in the same wash together as they squish up really small. We just have blankets over the duvets in winter which get washed less frequently.

I originally bought one for our spare bed and to take away camping and we have slowly converted all of the duvets in the house to them. We have two sets each so changing beds is a doddle. They've been a particularly godsend for just chucking on DDs' high sleeper beds and for night-time bed wetting from the children. It also feels much more hygienic to wash the whole duvet every week.

I also hate the sensory feel of duvets bunching up in the covers. I am a very wriggly, restless sleeper so to not have that issue anymore is brilliant.

Isn't a cover less duvet a synthetic eiderdown?

The dogs’ home I volunteer at doesn’t take quilts because the dogs shred them and the fluff is both annoying to clean up and dangerous if they swallow it.
