Do you or don't you use a top sheet on your bed/ mattress?

A sheet and light quilt in the summer. As it gets cooler, it’s sheet, wool blanket and the quilt.

I’m rethinking what I’ll use this winter. I’m already adding a throw in the middle of the night.

Years ago we used my MIL’s homemade quilts in a homemade comforter. Sound like what Murrmurr does. I couldn’t put them on myself. They were also very hot and heavy.
 
Top sheet, and a light weight but warm blanket for me. DH prefers neither, or once in a while he will roll up in the top sheet leaving me with just the blanket.

I remember my grandmother's heavy old cotton stuffed quilts and was really disappointed when they started stuffing them with fiber fill. Guess now I will have to get a weighted blanket too. :sneaky:

My grandmother and great-grandmother used to make quilts for everyone and used that heavy, heavy cotton batting. I loved laying under all that weight on cold nights; it was like someone was hugging me. I still have one of them but it's pretty fragile.

My great-grandmother had a featherbed. I remember one time jumping onto her bed and sinking down into that mattress. I couldn't see over the sides.
 
Top sheet and comforter and if it is really cold we put a blanket on top of bottom sheet so it won't be cold.We cut our heat back at night and live in South.

What a cute story, how old were you?
 
I like crisp, cotton sheets in the summer and add a duvet in the colder weather.
