Do I need to wash DS's duvet every day when night training?

DS is 4.5, starting school in Sept. Never been dry at night. Day time potty training was a long drawn-out process but he's fine. I thought about starting night training as per the Oh Crap book when he was about 3.5 but everyone said to just wait for the hormone...

So he's been in pull-ups every night, never ever been dry. He's a heavy sleeper.

However I'm starting to suspect his sodden nappy pants are partly down to weeing at night/in the morning in bed because he can't be bothered to get up. He's just come down at 9.30pm still awake and admitted he's wet the bed as his nappy's leaked. So I'm washing the sheets and duvet, and we don't have a spare (it's v warm so he can sleep under the empty duvet cover tonight!) - he often stays awake until quite late despite our best efforts (light off etc).

I had been thinking about night training properly once he'd settled in at school but honestly I can't face washing a duvet every day. Sheets- ok. I don't have a tumble dryer (or really any space for one). Do I need to shell out for spare duvets and a tumble dryer just to stop him wetting the bed? How on earth do people do it? Most of my friends just seemed to wait until the dc had dry nappies at night. We have those towelling training pants but they don't really contain anything.

We're reinstating this as we've had a chat with the OP off the boards, and we've no reason to believe that this isn't genuine (though we never can tell for sure)... Sorry, OP!
