Single beds double duvets

I personally prefer a fitted sheet because I think that a flat sheet "moves".

When renting just after we were married, there were two single beds and each had a double duvet. We pushed the beds together but they were different heights! I liked the extra material to wrap around me during the night but leaving it tidy next day was impossible because there was so much hanging over that I felt that it looked untidy.

On my own, I now have a double bed with a king sized duvet. After my knee replacement I tried putting a double sheet under the duvet to save me changing the duvet cover weekly as I could not physically manage to change it for a few weeks. It did not work for me, I was getting my feet tangled in the sheet which easily came adrift.

Re the fitted bottom sheet, a lot depends on the depth of your mattress. I have a slight problem also but it is easier to correct than faff around with a flat sheet.

I use double duvets on our single beds, need a nice bit over you in the winter. Mine don't touch the floor. I use single sheets, have fitted and flat. The only ones I found too small were some cheap ones, bought better quality and they have been fine.

I have a single bed and a double duvet which hangs about an inch from the floor. My bed has drawers underneath which might make it a bit higher.

I use a single flat sheet over the mattress.

I use dd on single beds, they just touch floor, use double sheet secured with nappy pin !!!
