r/Bedding

Trying to figure out our bedding situation and the more I research, the more overwhelmed I feel.

My husband is a terrible sleeper, and I can sleep through basically anything, so I’m trying to build everything around what will make him comfortable. Anything I prefer is just a bonus if we can make it work.

I thought I had at least decided on sheets (Frette), but now I’m second guessing that too… but the main thing I’m stuck on is the duvet/comforter situation.

More details below. Would love any thoughts or recommendations!

Husband:

• Sleeps hot.
• Has been trying different layered situations but can’t get it right. Either always too hot or too cold.
• Top sheet hater
• Is worried about bedding being noisy or feeling clumpy

Me:

• Overwhelmed
• Loves fluffy beds, billions of pillows, etc
• Prefers low maintenance situations (prefers one bedding setup vs switching out seasonally, if I have to sew in my own duvet tie/loop I will perish, etc)

Us:

• Would like to sleep under the same bedding
• Budget isn’t a primary concern, and we are willing to spend more for something that’s supremely comfortable and well-made
• Not sure if it’s relevant to selecting bedding but we are sleeping on a king Purple RejuvenatePlus Mattress with a Purple Waterproof Mattress Protector.

So I recently I purchased a platform bed to replace my old traditional bedframe (30+ years old) and am now facing a bit of a dilemma. I never use a box spring, the creaking kept me from sleeping. So now I have to decide which mattress to keep until I can save up for a new one. I have a really old traditional fully innerspring mattress, and a slightly less old pillow top mattress. This is topped off with a foam mattress topper. I am keeping the topper for now, but which mattress should I pair it with until I can replace it all?

Edit to add that I am fighting a flea problem atm.

Basically what the title says. I have a duvet insert (Quince) where bits of feathers keep coming out ever so slightly and end up on my mattress, floor, ceiling fan, everywhere.

What are some good duvet cover recs that would he good at holding those feathers within the duvet cover instead of letting them loose? Alternatively, are there any other ideas or suggestions to combat this feather problem?

getting a new mattress next week and I'd like a solution to keep my sheets from pulling up and ruffling so much. I've heard about sheet suspenders/straps and I guess there are sheet clips as well. what would be the best option? I'm looking for something that wouldn't require me to lift up the entire mattress to change the sheets. I have very deep pocketed sheets and am getting a 12" mattress.

Personally i like wool duvet. It’s quite good for sleeping climate.

I found a B-grade summer duvet from a well-known brand at a good price. It has wool filling and a cotton cover. I’m thinking about turning it into a mattress protector by adding elastic straps to the corners.

Someone on Reddit mention Making a mattress pad out of a wool blanket, so I’m wondering if a wool-filled duvet could work the same way.

Does this sound like a good idea, or am I overlooking something?

I have a bad dust allergy and my mattress is too firm. A memory foam topper worked for a while, but I have had to remove it because I suspect it has gotten too dusty. I have been trying to find washable covers because throwing out a memory foam pad every few months is pretty environmentally horrible. I've searched the internet and Reddit for solution, and these are my remaining issues:

- The fabric/quilted washable toppers have terrible reviews, people say they aren't soft and the only one with good reviews (Sonive brand) is giving off serious e-commerce red flags.

- The memory foam toppers with washable covers seem like a huge pain, and I can't find any reviews that talk about actual ease of washing.

Any topper recommendations? Anybody who actually takes off the topper cover and washes it?

Hello! Ive got a Cali king bed and our dogs tent to hop on the bed while we sleep. Unfortunately the quilt i have isnt quiiiiiiite long enough to cover the full bed length down to the skirt, and cover my pillows to reduce dog hair exposure to our eyes and mouths. I used to work in a hotel as a house keeper and they had these dense, thick, quilted toppers on all the beds that hung super low off the foot end and were able to be pulled fully over and "tucked in" in the front making the pillows look like one huge pillow crossing the bed I've never been able to find cali king comforters that have had that amount of over-hang does anyone know where to find that style or what its called?

"Hotel style" yields no real results other than googles terrible attempts to foist cheap ai-gen-image-crap from temu and Amazon <$400 budget hopefully much less

I’m looking into a silk duvet and would love your recommendations. No budget constraints, what’s the best of the best?

How do you all lean against the bed and also to your side. I keep getting hyper with my pillow. Also try to put my hands on chin when I turn around to look at my phone or book. My hands hurt, neck hurt, chin hurt and spectacles fall down😭

Does anybody have any experience with Piacule’s sheet set? It looks intriguing to me but the only place i heard about it was from this one Tiktok.
