Unless you live without heat I don't know why you'd need more than two, top sheet and blanket.

What the hell are all these fancy bed terms? I have a bed and it has a blanket on it. That's it.

Flannel sheet, blanket, comforter.
The blanket and comforter get folded over so the sheet is the only thing covering me.

I have the heat turned off in my bedroom just because I'd rather sleep under a heavy blanket and get too hot otherwise (especially when there's someone else in the bed with me).

mattress pad
fitted sheet
me
top sheet
comforter
duvet cover

I've got an extra blanket that occasionally gets thrown on top when it's really cold, and I ditch the comforter during the warmer months until it's hot enough for me to turn my AC on (at which point it comes back because my bedroom is small and turns into an ice box)

We turn the heat down at night to save $$$ (that's just an excuse, I'm a wussy who likes a ton of blankets), so: fitted bottom sheet, two top sheets, two blankets and two comforters.

Holy shit, I'd be sweating my ass off all night with that!

I typically have a fitted sheet and a comforter, or a fitted sheet and a flat sheet.

It's winter time. In the summertime, it's usually just the two sheets & one comforter which is seldom pulled over us. I prefer the air to be cold in our bedroom.

I've never understood the concept of multiple layers of bedding. I get so freaking lost when I'm in hotels...

I have a mattress, a mattress cover, and one comforter that goes inside a cover.

I envy some of you guys. My wife loves heavy bedding (i admit i like the feel) but I overheat bad with this setup:

bottom sheet
top sheet
electric blanket (my side is off)
thick ass comforter
knitted thick ass blanket
she has an extra john deere blanket at her feet just in case


I always toss my half of the knitted one over her. I have woken up in bed before thinking I was back in the Caribbean.

I keep house at 65F. Feather comforter with sleeve. I'm told I'm a space heather anyway. Summer nothing but I keep house ~82-84 saves money and burns calories.

Fitted sheet and one of those Vellux blankets. Tried one out a few years ago and promptly tossed the comforter in the back of the closet.
