That's called cheating, the 'lectric blanky...
But we do allow lots of that sort of cheating, here at SF!

I so wanted to ditch the top sheet, and just use a comforter. But my wife(the avid quilter) decided to make us a quilt for the bed, and it is beautiful. But....it's difficult to clean a quilt(colors running) so I begrudgingly continued using the top sheet to protect the quilt.Use a top sheet on your bed/ mattress?...
or something else
A comforter
blanket...
or...
Personal preference!

A top sheet? Of course. Plus all the blanket and comforter layers.
I did housekeeping in a guesthouse. The duvet covers were to keep dust off the comforters and/or freshen old comforters. They were changed and washed every few weeks.
But people from a certain country would just get under the comforter instead of under the top sheet. One woman, on a warm night, even took the duvet cover off and used it as a sheet -- instead of using the actual top sheet.
I soon learned to make the bed in such a way that the sleeper would naturally (hopefully) get under the top sheet.

Top sheet, fleece blanket, light quilted comforter.
Rarely use the comforter, it gets folded at the bottom of the bed.

Yuo are right. That quilt is gorgeous and wonderful, and worth doing whatever else you need to do. For the quilt, andfor your wife.

No top sheet, but our blankets are made out of 2 or 3 sheets that I sewed together (really warm & ez to wash).
At first, Michelle thought it was weird that I don't use a top sheet. In fact, she thought it was unsanitary. But the blankets get laundered every week, and - her favorite perk - making the bed is a snap.

Right now, I'm sleeping between two quilt-like covers with a foam mattress topper underneath.
I believe a duvet is a French term for a regular old comforter. They probably got to charge more once it was given a French name. The cover for it came around later.
I have a top sheet, velour blanket, cotton knit blanket and then a duvet with cover. I will keep that top sheet because I hate changing that duvet cover.
