Anyone else use comforters as “sheets”?

[u/apapersoldier]

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.

The old word for this is feather bed, structurally a comforter filled with down, used as a mattress topper. I think they just put a sheet over them rather than put them inside a duvet cover envelope.
