That is the idea. Do it. Flat sheets are dumb.

Going duvet w duvet-cover, a coverlet (additional top layer), and a quilt (heavier top layer).
My days of wrestling with a faggotty top sheet are over. Can't believe I suffered through it that long.
The quilts are brilliant. When we were in Italy they just add quilts depending on the cold so we started picking up nice ones from thrift stores after moving north.
I love this scene except for the duvet analogy and misrepresentation as a “comforter”. I think they could have been more clever. It’s stood out since I first watched the film. I wonder if the book is the same. I knew what a duvet was at the time because I’d used them abroad and found them superior to flat sheet/blankets. I also knew fancy Americans who bought awful velvet duvet covers and put comforters in them.
In my head, a good duvet/cover is the most humble, homesteady things you can own and look after. Freshly outdoor aired duvets bring you closer to heaven 🙏
