Do you use top sheets?

I've always used top sheets on mine and the kids bed as that's what my mother always did, but I'm considering ditching them. They get all tangled and making beds is a PITA job that I hate. Would be so much easier to just throw the doona on top! Woohoo bed made! Changing the doona cover weekly doesn't bother me as I do anyway, for no other reason than I like to mix it up each week. So do you use top sheets?

DH and I do. The kids don't. It was too hard for them to make their bed with it. I do wash their doona at least fortnightly though.

Never have, probably never will...what a pita lol. Having said that, our guest bed always has a top sheet, coz it's more civilized and all that jazz

DH and I do. Kids use the Gro Stay on Bedding, so there is no top sheet.... The Doona is Zippered onto the bottom sheet.

Yes. I love sliding between fresh sheets. In summer I will often kick off the doona and just have the sheet over me (or have part doona/part sheet over me)

It's usually too hot to have the doona on in summer so I use a top sheet so we have something to put over us. I can't sleep uncovered.

Yes, because I love just having the sheet on rather than the doona. My in laws don't use a top sheet and swear by it though.
