Just thought I would say "hello" to everyone on the forum, having just joined. smile

Now, I've just bought a new pair of flat sheets for our bed and after mentioning I like have a top and bottom sheet for our bed I get strange looks!

When I was a child we always had a top and bottom sheet. Is it me?

Yes Mermaid6 I do iron my sheets and pillowcases, as well as the duvet cover.

I iron pillow cases and duvet covers. Not sheets - just fold them.
Ive never had fitted sheets voming off - i find they stay on much better than the old flat sheets. Funny how we have different experiences!

You can buy duvets with different tog ratings on either side which might suit those with different heat requirements.

As for ironing sheets of any description......life is too short!!

Not too pricey.

I wouldn't be able to sleep without the top sheet tucking me in but I did find difficulty buying top sheets recently. It seems that it is now the 'norm' not to have a top sheet and so not all shops sell them now. I went and stocked up. Thinking ahead, eh?
