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?

[–] 9point6 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] too_high_for_this 39 points 4 days ago

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.

A duvet cover would solve both of those issues.

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

Interesting. Fuck a decorative anything related to sleep or leisure though. Decorative pillows, eat my entire ass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

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

Man I hate decorative bed shit. If it's on there, it's for sleeping. Keep the decorations on walls and shelfs

Ok, eating an entire ass is a milestone.

From my understanding, it's the tastiest cut of long pig.

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.

I use a doona cover without a doona in it as a top sheet in summer. Lifehack

Ackshually you can't smell metal you just smell the chemicals metals make when they react with your skin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLH-nTZEOc

[–] Eheran 7 points 4 days ago

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