A duvet that never has a cover on

[Ohjustbuggeroff]

Is this weird?

Buying a duvet from Primark etc and not buying a duvet cover, just using this duvet as it is?

Anyone do this?

This is unfortunately true.

Worse when its a childs bed, smacks of neglect, even if neglect is not part of the child's experience, but Ive seen too many children living without proper bedding (and food and shelter is usually part of it too) but thats what my mind shoots straight to

OP do you (or whoever you’re talking about) throw away a perfectly good duvet every few weeks? Does that not seem wasteful to you?

If you are not using a duvet cover and washing it on a weekly basis, I’d bin the duvet after 2 weeks.
You are being utterly disgusting and the duvet even worse.
I’m not a clean freak but your approach is most definitely not normal!

The poster is referring to the fact that the OP or whoever it is, doesnt have a cover, thats the point. Hotels have a cover over their duvets so of course they dont replace them like that.

No cover, not washed weekly, but thrown away when its too dirty? Terribly wasteful or if its not thrown away then filthy dirty?

Madness

I can’t see where they’ve said that they’re short and that stops them from changing the duvet cover.

Soooo off topic but this thread piqued my interest in coverless duvets which led me to this little beauty. It's not coverless. It's a down duvet.

😶

Especially if, like me, you have a back with crumbling vertebrae as well.

We have coverless duvets for kids, I bung them in washing machine every month. Perfect for kids as they wear full PJs and they hate covers and use to take them off

@halava , have you got issues with reading comprehension? I'm asking if she replaces the duvet if not using covers. I've never seen a hotel where the duvet is presented without a cover

What? Duvet cover inside out, grab and shake. Shake it over bannister for even less exertion
I'm 5 foot 0. Never had any issues with my short arms
A normal duvet with no cover on is gross and seems like a sensory nightmare. Buy a coverless and raise your bedding standards lol

OP are you the poster who was on here a while ago saying their house was a complete state, no bedding, hardly any furniture, only your DC’s room was ‘normal’? Because no, having a duvet with no cover and replacing it (however regularly) is not normal, and as PP have said is very wasteful. Most people would have a sheet on bed and covers on pillows and duvet, and wash the covers.

This isn’t ideal, OP. For several reasons.
I’m wondering whether you didn’t have a particularly straightforward childhood? Ignore me if I’m totally off here.
You’re not being grim or any of the other names some people have used, but it would be cleaner and less wasteful to get a cover and wash it every week/every other week. It would be cheaper as well.

If this is true, it's grim. The amount of sweat and skin your body sheds each night will just build up on the actual duvet, yuck.
Duvet covers are cheap and easy to find in charity shops.

OK, OK, cool the jets and ease the tone!

my husband never puts a duvet cover on the duvet when he makes up the guest bed. he changes all the other duvet covers in the house (there are 5 of us). I discovered that its because he said the "guest" duvet looks like a blanket. It has a sort of embroidered pattern on it so he assumed it wouldn't have a cover as its pretty.

What a waste. Ridiculous

It's wasteful and unhygienic. Why exactly can't you have a normal quilt with a cover on it?

Gross. I lived in a shared uni house with a bloke who slept inside his duvet cover. The actual duvet was brown and stank. He was quite the ladies man. I wish I'd asked him if they both slept inside the duvet cover.

Unless you replace is weekly then it's pure gross

I actually saw that advice televised many years before that. It was Nerys Hughes who demonstrated it. I’ve followed it ever since.

i remember back in the 1980s when duvets first became popular in UK they had lovely nylon covers on them you just bunged the whole thing in the washing machine i hope todays coverless duvets have better material than they did then

So gross and so wasteful.

Buy a duvet cover.

If you or whoever this post is about doesn’t want a duvet cover or a cover less duvet, why don’t they buy two of these Primark duvets or even three? Then you can wash them every week and they can dry over the bannister over the week.

I have a coverless duvet from the above people. I have cancer related chronic fatigue and pain in my hands (also probably caused by one of my cancer drugs - Avastin). The combination make it difficult for me to change a duvet cover. The coverless duvet is easier for me. I don't wash it every week but I wash it more often than I washed the duvet cover I used to have!
