Thanks for the explanation! TBH it sounds like something that I would hate and find a bunch of extra work, but I can see why other people would like it and find it useful.

    If your not from a cold weather climate you probably also don't have a down douve that can only be dry-cleaned.

    Where I'm from we generally sleep with the window open to some degree all year round. So in the winter the bedroom gets pretty cold sometimes.

    Honestly in canada I’ve never heard of them either lol. Typically my familly have always used 1-2 thin bedsheets, then what we call a “catalogne”, which I can’t seem to be able to translate. It’s basically a hand tressed bedsheet that’s impossible to wash without it breaking apart. Then some cover that’s usually pretty thin, just for the looks I suppose. If you’re cold, you just add layers. Once a season, you take that catalogne and the top sheet and soak them in water, then let them dry outside.

    Or you can do like my sister and not give a fuck about that. She just sleeps under 10+ loose blankets and a furnace of a dog.
