Coverless duvets - life changing

[Bodicea]

Just discovered coverless duvets (John Lewis).
They have changed my life. No more faffing about stripping them and fighting to put them back on. Just stick the lot in the washing machine and then hang over the bannister and it’s dry in an hour. Have bought for all my kids. Especially good for my son that regularly wets the bed. Just washing the duvet cover wasn’t enough as it often soaked though to the duvet.

I hope these become more common as there is little choice at the mo in terms of colours pattern. And so far not found anything for my superkingsize bed.

WTAF would you choose to wash that much bulk each week rather than just the cover, which takes seconds to remove and a minute to replace?

The OP explains this. Read the OP.

Aren't they called 'comforters' in the US?

I really don't see how putting a duvet cover on is so inconvenient you'd rather release microplastics into the water by washing these synthetic duvets on a weekly basis.

in op's case i understand but why would anyone waste an entire wash on a duvet, assuming it can move properly in the machine and not remain scrunched up - urgh - i launder double cover fitted sheet and four pillow cases in one load weekly, saves water and electric, job done.

It's certainly not a quilt or an eiderdown - there is no way they would ever have gone in a washing machine. Sounds a great idea for kids.

@Bodicea M&S have a much better range of coverless duvets, and they all go up to super king. This one is very pretty, although super king is out of stock atm!

This is a comforter - they are the norm in the US. You might get them in Tkmaxx.

Lots available on Amazon

Interesting for a house that has one or two children peeing on their duvet most nights.

Including Super King size

Ooo sounds good.

I also use a sheet, duvet without cover and a bedspread. I like to be able to push layers off in the night if I get too hot.

However, in the winter I put a cover on the duvet, and an extra throw on top, usually a fleece throw but I couldn't sleep under a synthetic cover or one of those duvets with the synthetic cover, although I do use a fibre filled duvet. Those covers are revolting and sweat inducing.

We have some of these I think they were from jysk? I only use them for the kids beds so that I can quickly give them all fresh beds (we have spares) we have purple orange and blue. They were quite cheap I think.

Bedspread people - where do you buy bedspreads??

Hi OP. How much were these? I have duvet covers from JL that were £70 each but if I can buy these coverless duvets for the same price, I totally would!

Me and DH have a king size bed and DS has a toddler bed. Do they do those sizes? Do they do the same with pillows?

They are just patterned duvets. You could just as well use a normal white duvet without a duvet cover. Or am I missing something?

I never knew these existed and will definitely look into getting some for my bedwetters. I agree they sound life changing.

Also if anyone would like to link to a waterproof duvet cover that doesn't shed microplastics I'd love to know.

I hope all the sanctimonious people here who are castigating the op for using synthetic fabric are themselves adhering to an entirely eco friendly way of living.

Someone has started a thread about a perfectly reasonable thing that has improved her family's life and is being sneered at left, right and centre. Nice. Miserable bunch of scratchy cats that you are.

I don't think it;s to do with being "sanctimonious"
I am quite a sweaty sleeper. and would not be comfortable sleeping with polyester next to my skin.
Cotton is absorbent, keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.

I only wear cotton pyjamas for the same reason.

Agree OP. Just bought my son one for university to make his room look nicer and make it easier to change covers!!

Can the superking fit in a large domestic drum though?

OP I bought a kingside one and a single
One today from Lewis's.

They feel super soft and light. Can't wait to see what they are like to sleep with

Wow. I posted as a bit of a public service announcement this morn and then got on with my day ( yes i do have a life, no need to be so facetious). Didn’t think is would cause such controversy.
In answer to people’s questions: They were the fine bedding company and start at £36 and think are designed to fit in the washing machine - I haven’t tried the king size version mind.
My son has multiple allergies and eczema so would never have anything but synthetic anyway. He wears full length cotton pjs even in the summer as he itches otherwise so it won’t touch his skin.
I grew up with quilts. Its nothing like that. It has that nice squishy duvet feeling and is very light yet surprisingly warm. But has a nice cool feel to it initially. I hated the heavyness of quilts. And they aren’t easy to wash. I don’t like the way sheets move about or you have to be trapped in them.
No idea about comforters. Anyway if you like the look of them you can try and if you don’t then no harm done.
