- Duvets.... the greatest invention since sliced bread for us working couples
- , let me tell you. I got introduced to them when I worked and lived in the
- UK, by the native I eventually married and brought back to the "colonies".
- The system there is basically as described for Scandinavia, with the duvet
- and cover replacing the topsheet plus blanket. Reduces the morning
- bedmaking to a good flick of the wrist and looks very cosy, too.
-
- Here in Newfoundland, we use ours year-round; combined with an electric
- blanket to warm the bed in winter (turned off once we get in), and cool
- even on warm summer nights (yes, we DO get them in Canada, and even in
- Newfie). I'm one of these folks who hates tons of covers and getting
- tangled up in multiple layers of sheets, so the duvet suits me fine.
-
- Our 4 year old daughter was most dissatisfied with her own bed until she
- got her own little duvet, by the way...
