Coverless duvets - opinions, please?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm still thinking it over. Incidentally Teacheranne, where do you find a maiden who will stand still long enough to let your duvet dry?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm still thinking it over. Incidentally Teacheranne, where do you find a maiden who will stand still long enough to let your duvet dry?

Ha, ha! Did I spell “ maiden” wrong or were you just being amusing? Either way, you made me laugh! I could not think of the more common name, which I have now, clothes horse - which actually seems just as funny!

I’ve actually just bought a Brabantia rotary dryer which can be used at a very low position to dry things such as pillows, flat so I guess I’ll be drying my new Night Owl duvet on it. I’ve had it installed on an area of my patio which I never use so no excuse not to dry my washing outdoors!

We are in USA at the moment and our bed in the hotel has a top sheet, duvet without a cover then a thin cotton bedspread

Now this is weird I haven’t even commented on here ( I don’t think) and I m now getting nightowl ads on my Facebook newsfeed
Is £100 really possible for a duvet?
So we re going to go full circle and end up with eiderdowns with a new name and a new price tag ???

Is this it nottooold?

It's not cotton.
I can't see how a cotton one would be light enough for the average domestic washer.
I may not be looking at the right thing.
I like the idea but we have a king size bed and a super-king...

My Night owl is the pink one and it is 100% polyester, the material is smooth as silk and light as a feather.
It washes really well and dries quickly outside.
It tents well over you for a cool sleep and also wraps close for more warmth and a snuggle.
I love mine.

Has anyone got a super-king one with a non-polyester cover please?
Does it really fit in a domestic washer and actually wash clean?

I’m surprised these haven’t caught on, nobody seems to have ever heard of them. I’ve had mine for about 4 years and I love it. Light, snow white and no bloody cover to struggle with.

If you find it difficult, I noticed in some hotels that they just use two flat sheets, one over and one under the duvet, plus the fitted sheet. Just do a nice fold-over at the top, and your duvet stays covered. Less faffing about.
