to put 2 single duvets on a double bed?

[BouleSheet]

It'll be in a holiday rental house which is why I am asking - I would be quite pleased with this arrangement but would it be too strange to turn up to your double bedroom to find two single duvets??
They would be so much easier to launder too....

[Babetti]

I've encountered this in hotels in Austria. They always folded the duvets and towels beautifully so I was distracted by how nice it looked rather than thinking "ugh, two duvets". I find the two beds pushed together far more annoying.

[chrome100]

Oh but ours are double duvets which I guess is different.

[chrome100]

We do this. It works well. I have mine and half of DP's (I am very cold) and he has the rest of his.

[Theas18]

Doesn't matter in the slightest. we've had it in european rentals. Actually it's quite nice !

[CheeseBuster]

I would be disappointed with two single duvets on a double.

[Brummiegirl15]

I love a good snuggle with DP at bedtime. Sometimes it's just a cuddle before sleep other times who knows what.

I'd be most pissed off if I'd paid money for a holiday rental and there was 2 single duvets on a double bed.

I wouldn't think you were doing it for convenience I'd think you were being cheap and tight to be honest. Sorry!

If you are in the UK and most of your guests are British, it would be mostly seen as weird and offputting.

I holiday mostly in Spain, and the norm there appears to be two single beds pushed together with any sized duvets - sometimes single, sometimes double/king sized (or sheets and blankets - shudder).

So if a couple try to cuddle or have sex they have to negotiate the gap and lump in the middle - not great and I always wonder if Spanish couples generally live like this at home.

It is obviously unpopular amongst Brits, because in areas with a large British expat commuity, there are shops that boast about selling 'English beds'.

I'd be miffed if there was a double duvet on a double bed. Either the sharing duvet needs to be a size bigger than the bed or we need a duvet each.

[ghostyslovesheep]

Wouldn't bother me at all . I lived in Germany where is was the norm at home and in hotels/ guest houses

[BathshebaDarkstone]

YABU. I'd expect a double duvet on the double bed in my holiday house.

[monkeytroubles]

I would be a bit miffed if I encountered this in a holiday rental as it's obviously done for the owner's convenience and not the guests comfort.

[waitingfor3]

Yes, in Northern Europe it is quite normal at home. But I've not encountered it in hotels.
My kingsize duvet fits in my washing machine, it is a do-able ratio with the right combination.

[FinallyHere]

After trying out lots of different ways of doing this, we have settled on a double duvet each on a king sized bed. Easy enough to share when you like, pick up your own when necessary. Bliss.

[BaronessBomburst]

Depends on who you're going to have staying. If your advertising in the UK, go with a double. If you're planning on letting to Europeans, use two singles.
We sleep with two singles now and it's easier, more comfortable, and more flexible in term of playing musical beds with DS. And it's still easy enough to wriggle my cold feet under the other duvet to stick them on DH.

[HiImBarryScott]

Any German visitors would find it very normal. I quite like it as there is no tussling over the covers, but I would prefer a super super kingsize duvet so there is plenty of duvet to go around.

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

I would expect a double or king tbh but if money no object you could offer the choice in advance as some clearly would like it, as standard then sorry nope.

[dustyovaries]

I would think it was bonkers, especially as I would be planning to do DH if we were on holiday and enjoy an under duvet rendezvous.

[OstentatiousBreastfeeder]

Me and DH do this, and would be very happy to find two duvets. Don't think many other people would though.

[LoblollyBoy]

I'm against it. However, on the bright side I can tell you that the only hotel I have stayed in that had this arrangement was the one and only Gleneagles . (I won't be going back...)

[noitsbecky]

I would be gutted if there wasn't one 'whole' bed with a double duvet for DH and I. We sleep snuggled up together.

[Notso]

I wouldn't like it. DH and I sleep spooned mostly, it doesn't work with two duvets, there is always a cold gap.

[Hoppinggreen]

In Germany they always have 2 duvets on a double bed but I think it would be considered a bit unusual here. I wouldn't mind though

[BouleSheet]

No it's washing the duvet covers that I mean for convenience - I have stayed in houses in France where there were two duvets and I thought it was a great idea but obviously don't want to alienate any potential customers.

So far the consensus is for sticking to convention with a double.

[Contraryish]

I'd prefer it personally. It's the norm in Europe. I hate sleeping under a double duvet, two singles is much more flexible.

[LadyLuck10]

It's not very welcoming.
