So we just finished hosting our Pro cycling team for the week. What is it about males age 14-24 where they won't use the top sheet? I am including DS in this because I nag him about this all the time too! So I am washing every blanket and comforter that they used while they were here for a week. FWIW I had 9 different beds set up for their use so I am in the midst of a laundry mountain range! Load 6 is in the washer. Kind of knew this would be the case so I used stuff that could be washed, and waited to wash some things until after the event.
When we visited some friends of DH a few year ago and stayed in their home they didn't have top sheets on the bed.

I've never seen anyone make a bed without a top sheet but at the same time, since I always end up kicking off the sheet (but not the quilt), I guess I can't blame them.

It would be weird to have no top sheet. Never heard of that before.

Dh and I as well as dd use the top sheet. Ds on the other hand likes to use on of his fleece blankets or comforter (that stays cool).
Ds is 8 and it has been this way since he was in a toddler bed. For him its out of habit as he was 4 when he had a toddler bed (before that he couldn't have anything on him due to tpn and or oxygen) and a sensory thing. He has autism and prefers soft to the feeling of sheets. He also likes the weight the blankets give.

Sheets tangle and annoy, is what I'm told by my teen boys. They simply don't want to hassle with the two layers when they only need one.

Teenage boys are lazy in these details.

I'm 35 (and female) and have never used a top sheet. DH and I don't use a top sheet and we never make our bed.

I never used a top sheet growing up. Duvet with cover only. So my DH and I clashed about bedding when we first got together. We had an agreement that would use a top sheet for six months and then no top sheet for the rest of the year. I got used to the top sheet and now we always have one on the bed. My children, however, sleep on top of their beds to avoid making them and/or doing laundry.

Everyone in my family uses top sheets and I make guest beds and DDs beds with them as well. But, DH and I toss and turn too much and they just get kicked to the bottom. Plus he likes to stick his feet out, so it would never stay tucked at the bottom. I gave up on using them for our bed years ago. DD has a top sheet, a blanket, and her quilt. She also has several fleece throws. She will sleep under some layers and on top of others depending on how cold it is. I think she just sleeps on top of some rather than strip a layer because its less work to make the next day.

My teen boys never use a top sheet, just a comforter. Top sheets just ended up getting tangled at the foot of the bed.

Teenage boys are lazy in these details. Call us lazy then. I gave up making our bed with a top sheet - we don't use them. I make guest beds with them, but our own bed doesn't use one. It always ended up at the bottom of the bed so what was the purpose of pulling it up to remake the bed?

I didn't use one when my DH and I first moved in together but my DH insisted that I would be warmer if we used one. 18 year later...we use a top sheet. I like to be warm!

I always have to have something cover me when I sleep. When I get warm it's usually the top sheet that covers me with our comforter rolled down to the bottom of the bed. All the beds in our house are made with a top sheet.

I think sleeping without a top sheet is completely and totally insane.

For some unknown reason DSO put a top sheet on our bed last week after a lifetime of NOT using a top sheet. I HATE it! It gets all tangled up and is an extra step when making the bed in the morning. The only time I use a top sheet is in summer when it is too hot for a doona. Then we use a sheet instead of the doona. But never both. Well, until last week anyway.

I use a top sheet for mine and dh's bed, but I don't for the kids. They just kick them off. They never make their beds and I can't get them in the habit of doing it, although I make mine every day. It's just simpler to make the bed with a comforter, especially since I have to deal with twin beds.

I have to have a top sheet if I don't have it I feel cold (in the winter) or too hot (in the summer) I know it's all in my head but it just makes me feel more cozy. SO on the other hand kicks it off and uses just the blanket.

I sleep with a top sheet and all my kids have top sheets but they NEVER use it. They either sleep on top of the sheet or push it all the way down to the bottom. Drives me crazy!

I get an anxiety attack if i use a top sheet. It gets wound around my feet and stuff and I get terrified I won't be able to get out of bed. Never use one...

The duvet (which I think you call a comforter) is always in a cover (like a big pillowcase) so why would you need a top sheet? I would if I was making up the bed with blankets though.

DH and I have a top sheet and comforter on our bed April to October. The rest of the year we add a plush blanket. The boys have a top sheet, cotton blanket and quilt on their beds.

I have a duvet in a cover and no top sheet. I don't know why you'd need one. If I was using blankets I would definitely have a top sheet though.

We have them on every bed and everyone makes beds daily. My DSS's top sheets end up at the end of the bed and they are less than stellar at making them up properly. But I recognize the bumps under the comforter and have them remake them! And my 8yr old son is a thrasher who's bedding ends up on the floor (and sometimes he's in the piles on the floor too...) most mornings so it's always a full bed make with him. I was always raised to make a bed and then not to mess with the bed, lie in it etc....unless you were napping. Thanks Nana! My sister does not use top sheets, and it's weird to me. What do you do with them? Lol!

We just use a bottom sheet and a duvet with a cover ... no top sheet needed For 21 years of marriage...this is us too. Super easy in the morning to straighten the duvet and the bed is made.

A question for you duvet users: Don't you get too warm sleeping under the duvet? I use a top sheet because I like to be covered but I usually get too warm under a blanket. The top sheet is comfortable for me. I think I would sweat to death under a duvet. Please enlighten me
