So I was surprised to find out yesterday that apparently like half of the world doesn't put a top sheet on their bed. I thought that was just the STANDARD bed dressing, fitted sheet, top sheet, then bedspread. I couldn't imagine NOT using one, as the bedspread gets too hot, but without it, it gets too cold often, the top sheet provides that perfect in-between a lot of the time.

Do you all use one or not?

Yes, I must have a top sheet.

No, I never use them.

Yup I think we do...

My dad makes my bed,I dont know how to do it/cant get it on really........ There is a sheet underneath.......

who cares about top sheets, and I've always used one.

Apparently a lot of people, as it's being debated, and since this is pretty much a free-for-all chatter/topic forum, I was just curious, so I just WENT FOR IT and posted it

So it seems pretty divided here as well lol, I couldn't imagine not using one

I have always used one. Like you, I thought that was the standard.

Using sheets in 2024 lol

Yes! I must have a top sheet !

Using sheets in 2024 lol

Or using BEDS for that matter in 2024, or even LIVING IN HOUSES!!! Can't you just get an app and do all that on your phone now days!? I hear SOME people even still use actual CHAIRS!!!:O I couldn't believe it!

Bed frame, box spring, mattress, sheet, blanket, pillows (with an s, do need 2). All I ever needed. Never heard of a top sheet.

The top sheet would go between you and the bedspread/blanket or whatever you call it depending on your region

The sheet is more comfortable against your skin. Why would you want the scratchy comforter to touch your skin? I don't get it. I don't care what other people do, but why would you not want a soft sheet next to your body?

I agree. Also sheets get washed way more than blankets. They are cleaner on your skin too not just softer. ;)

I didn't know this was a thing. I always thought I was weird because I didn't use one. It's too restrictive for me.

Yes. Exactly.

Same here. I hate having anything tucked into the bed. I just use a quilt and wrap myself in it. In fact, we both have our own quilts. The first thing I do in a hotel is pull the sheets and blankets out from under the mattress.

What a silly thread!

Maybe it’s the tryptophan talking, but I still don’t get the whole top sheet thinking.

I think I have a t0p sheet Opus..

Yes, Your Bed Absolutely Needs a Top Sheet—Here's Why

I was brought up to use 2 sheets. One underneath you and one over you. In my time I remember when there was no such thing as a fitted sheet. At the store you purchased 2 flat sheets, (1 now only use for the top sheet) and with 2 identical sheets you could use either one for the bottom or top. As for the fitted sheet, it does seem to stay on the mattress better but try to fold one. I am no Martha Stewart. I need a table that fold parachutes. I end up somewhat wobbling it up.

Sometimes if I want to sleep on my couch, that's how I sleep, one sheet under me and one over me
