Re: How many sets of bedsheets do you have?

[(Anonymous)]

So we have a fitted undersheet too and then a duvet that goes on top, with a cover for the duvet. Don't know if what we call a duvet is different to what you call a duvet- it's like a much thicker version of a quilt I guess? The cover is kind of like a giant pillowcase for it that gets changed weekly with the rest of the bedding.

So my wash load is pillowcases, duvet cover and undersheet.

ayrt

Well, technically we (I and most people I know) call it a comforter, but I know duvet is a different word for the same thing (at least here, maybe it's different there?). But yeah, it's heavier/thicker. Quilts don't necessarily have a set thickness, though, at least not where I'm from. Also, here (and this might be regional, not necessarily all of the US) "quilt" refers to a certain style, with squares of different fabric sewn together, especially handmade (not sure if that's what you're talking about). Other types (like thinner/lighter ones with one continuous type of fabric) are just blankets. And we have duvet covers here too, but I think they're probably not as common as they are there. I use the flat sheet for pretty much the same purpose, though, it goes between the duvet/comforter and me. So when I wash, I do the fitted sheet, the flat sheet and pillowcases.

Anyway, it's interesting to know how things are done in different places!

It is really interesting! Thanks for explaining a bit more what you use there.

Oddly enough I think the UK used to have the same set up as standard- my Nan and her generation have the same type of sheets/quilts and not duvets. Then for some reason between their generation and my parent's there was a huge nationwide cultural shift to duvets. No idea why and never really thought about it much until today.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. :)

In the US, in my experience, we call a duvet a comforter. We use covers for them, too, because it's easier to wask a cover than the whole thing.

Weirdly, the covers are usually called "duvet covers" even though what they cover is still called a comforter. That's actually how they are labeled in stores: comforters and duvet covers to cover the comforters. (As a kid, we called them comforter covers in my family, but that might have just been what my parents called them.)

Quilts are a different animal. You wouldn't call a comforter/duvet a "quilt."

No it's not really a quilt here either, I just couldn't think of a better description. :) Sounds like comforter is the analogy I wanted?

This is weirdly fascinating. Just day to day stuff that you never think about but is so dependent on what you grew up with.
