My niece has one which she loves but I'm not sure how often she washes it!

I have no drier, except the wind and sun, so how do these things get dry even if it fits in your machine?

Also because of my allergies wash my bedding every week so it would be a pain I think- you still have to wash the thing so I'm not sure of the advantages?

I have a nightowl from the fine bedding company . It's a 4.5 tog double and it fits in my washing machine easily, if it was a heavier tog not sure I could wash it though.
I can use this for most of the year with an added throw if needed. Just use my 10.5 normal duvet for the 2-3 coldest months.
They are lovely to use and much easier than changing covers.

Sounds like when we had sheets and blankets with a bedspread on top. Does anyone still do that?

I don’t fancy taking it to the launderette every 2/3 weeks. We have king sizes

when I used a double duvet. I put it nside out, got the corners of the duvet and held the cover, reveresed the cover over my arms - then shook the whole thing over the bannisters. Job done, no problems.

I thought a coverless duvet was what we used to call a quilt! grin

Glenfinnan. If you put ‘Coverless Duvets’ into Search, the thread ran in August ‘24 under House and Home. My sister bought hers from The Fine Bedding Company.

Yes, there has been an informed thread on GN previously. My sister was struggling with changing duvet covers and now has the coverless ones - she is delighted. When I stayed with her I found it to be warm and very comfortable.

I have them! I have various makes, all discovered on Mr Amazon.

I love them a lot, no bunching, no annoying duvet cover. We use a flat top sheet (changed weekly) and wash our duvet every 2-3 weeks.

We have king size beds so does not quite fit in our washing machine so we use a local laundry services.

I love the thought of this, as long as it is easy to wash and dry 🧐

Ive thought about these too Glenfinnan. I haven’t heard of anyone who has them and it would be interesting to know what they think
