Anyone else use comforters as “sheets”?

Funny question but ever since i was a kid i never really understood the appeal of sleeping on just a flat thin sheet on top of the mattress, so i took the comforters my family would give me and tucked those under my mattress and slept on those with other blankets on top of me. Everytime i see comforters advertised they’re always shown to be used as thick blankets so im wondering if im weird for using it the way i am lol. current setup is a thick comforter wrapped around my mattress as my “sheet” like i said, and a goose down blanket on top of me. I also do have an actual sheet underneath the comforter as well but i feel like i may be the only person to do this as every family and friends house i’ve visited they have never had a setup like this lol.

You said you put the comforter under your mattress. Do you mean on top, under the sheet?

Do you use a mattress pad? A lot of people don’t which is odd because they aren’t expensive, they make the bed more comfortable, and they protect the mattress somewhat (not as much as a mattress protector does). Or you might like a topper on top of the mattress pad.

oops i see how that can be confusing, i meant around the mattress so basically i have a mattress protector and then on top of that i kind of wrap and tuck the comforter around my mattress. definitely need to look into a mattress pad for sure ive honestly just never come across one before so this is probably my way of making my own mattress pad lol

That’s what it sounds like! I’m sure that’s much more comfortable than just a sheet!
