    Again? I assume again we come to the conclusion that this is everything but comfortable because of the constant hair pinching? Or smell of metal?

      I guess a thin linen sheet between the two would alleviate the pinching without negating the cooling effects

      I imagine any smell would disappear after a short while, cutlery doesn’t smell of metal

        Metal doesn’t smell. That smell comes from oils in your skin reacting with metal oxides. And cutlery is usually made from stainless steel which is resistant to oxidation.

        Where I’m from, people call a duvet a comforter. I grew up thinking this is what they were called into my 20s. People think this name for it is funny. It is.

          A comforter is one piece acting as both a heavy blanket and a bedspread. A duvet cover goes over a comforter or similar for decoration. In theory you can save money with a cheap plain comforter covered by a decorative duvet cover. You can also wash a duvet cover easier and more frequently than a comforter

              Eh, duvet covers are functional though, they protect the comforter underneath from stains and excess wear and things. The fact that it’s decorative is basically just a bonus. Agree on decorative pillows though, if I can’t put my head on it I don’t want it

              I do love having a silk duvet. Yeah it is expensive, don’t care right now. The point I will actually make is you can put different inserts on the inside and have the same outside. It isn’t meant to go on top of a stereotypical comforter. The insert has loops on the corners and there are strings inside the duvet that ties to them. Otherwise, the insert looks like a very plain comforter without any decorative top. What is nice is you can get heavier or lighter inserts. I have even seen weighted blankets that have the loops on them.

          In Australia a Duvet is called a “Doona” (Du-Nah) and is different from an American comforter.

          We also have “American comforters” but they don’t need a cover, the whole thing can frequently and easily go in the wash, but a doona/duvet requires a huge process to launder, so you always put a cover on it.

        Ackshu-u-ually you can’t smell stuff on your skin, what you smell are vapors or particles getting to your nose.
