Toddler bed wetting - duvet or blankets?

Toddler DS has up until last week been sleeping in grobags in his cot bed (side still on as he's never tried to climb out so haven't changed it.) As it's been hot we've been covering him with just a thin blanket and he's still slept well, although he does kick it off. We're therefore going to ditch the sleeping bags and move to bedding. I was going to buy a duvet set but then wondered if it would be better to just buy more blankets. He currently still sleeps in a nappy but at some point won't and I wondered if it's easier to have multiple blankets for when he wets the bed for washing, drying and having spares than trying to launder a duvet. What does everyone else do?

You might want to try the potty training board for more responses to this?

DD has never wet her duvet. Mostly if you are night training when they are ready for it, they only have quite small accidents as they wake up as they start to do it, so it’s pjs and sheet only that get wet. The exception to this is if they are ill, Ive heard that can lead to major bed wetting (we haven’t had this yet, but DD has only been nappy free at night for 4 months)

More importantly make the bed doubled up at the bottom so waterproof sheet, plain sheet, waterproof sheet, plain sheet. Then you just whip off the top 2 layers in the middle of the night if they get wet.
