As i washed and then made the bed with the fresh clean sun-dried sheets this afternoon, I wondered how to make things easier and more comfortable.
I believe that in Scandinavia, beds are made up with just lower sheets and a duvet on top. Both items get washed routinely. Sounds easy and comfy. What do they do in the warm summery temps?

In summer, I have both cotton bottom and top sheets and a light cotton blanket to pull over my shoulders in the early morning hours. I have a lightweight down duvet for fall and spring and a warm wool duvet for winter. I am considering getting rid of the top sheet which is a pain to keep in place. I lift the mattress each time and fold it under. Would a washable duvet better? What do you do for bedding?
