In recent months I have read several times in UK papers that it is a ‘Scandinavian thing’ for couples to have separate duvets/comforters on a bed. I am not sure if that is an accurate observation, but I can say that it really works for us.
Our bed is very wide – 230cm – so it is hard to find duvets and covers in that size. We also have three cats who sleep with us, and different sleeping patterns. I lie very still when I sleep, which attracts the cats to cuddle up next to me. That makes me hot so I tend to either fling the cover off during the night, or stick one leg out so I can cool down. I also hog the covers because I like to roll myself up in them. My husband, on the other hand, is like a windmill in bed. He also grabs a lot of the covers to put between his knees because he hates his knees touching. I have a thick fluffy heavyweight duvet, and he has a light summer one, so separate covers are perfect for us.
Does anyone else use separate covers?
