Does anyone have a washable/easy dry bedspread they use instead of a duvet and duvet cover in summer?

[Stiffasaboard]

We have a super king and wash the duvet cover every third night

It’s a total PITA remaking it at the best of times but now we have a really thin duvet for summer it’s worse- getting the duvet in the cover is like the Krypton factor!

Was just thinking if there was such a thing as a nice lightweight bedspread that didn’t need a cover and I could wash and dry in a day it would be ideal.

Anyone got one?

We just have a flat sheet for really warm nights, it's perfect.

Hmm yes I have one of them we could try but not sure it’s quite that warm yet

I’d just use the duvet without a cover but it won’t fit in the my washer unfortunately

Use the duvet cover without the duvet inside?

Yes, just use the duvet cover, that's what we do too.

Every third night?!

We have two of these but it’s out of stock at the moment. One on and one off/in the wash.

No cover needed and they wash easily and dry quickly.

I bought one as a student from Primark 10+ years ago and it's still going strong! It's the size of a double duvet so fits inside a duvet cover nicely, at the moment we use it like that and then when it gets a bit warmer use it without the cover.
Dunelm often have nice ones in which aren't too unreasonable, i do keep meaning to buy another as it's been so handy for us!

Why on earth are you having to wash every 3rd night? What a faff.

Don't wash it so much?! Jeez, does it really need washing every 3 days?

I just use a duvet cover

I just put a duvet cover inside a duvet cover.

Good ideas here thank you!

I wash it every third or fourth night as I get night sweats (thank you menopause)

I bought an ethical feather duvet and the night swears stopped. So did the sweats.

Flat 'top' sheet underneath duvet, wash that every 3 days?

Know what you mean though, just one thing that's light enough to give some warmth and thin enough to fit in a washing machine. Gap in the market!

I use a flat sheet between the duvet and me. I also have some really nice woollen blankets to use if it's really cold (on top of the duvet) or warm (on top of just the sheet.)

Google quilted bedspread. I have one that is over 20 years old (either Debenhams or John Lewis, can't remember which) that comes out every summer. Don't even have to iron it

I use a flat sheet and a fleece or cotton throw on top. A cellular blanket is also good underneath the throw in case of a cooler night.

I find a flat sheet really fiddly underneath a duvet- always gets all tangled up and the duvet would still need washing when I get a
Night sweat.

I’m really after a sort of thin washable duvet I think that looks ok without a cover on it.

The super king size is a problem tho.

Maybe two singles would be better?

We have 2 singles on a super king as I like a thin duvet and dh likes a thicker one.

I like the look of the M and S ones up thread but not the colours.

I've got one of the Night Owl ones, but my God is it hot! I've got the 4.5 tog one, and I sweat buckets under it!

yes to 2 singles.
that way you can just change the sweaty side if needed more often.
when it's really hot we use just the duvet covers.

The UK is a bit behind the US with this sort of bedding!

We have a couple of washable quilted cotton spreads from somewhere like John Lewis or Muji, reckon around 3 tog?

Love Dunlem Mill!
