I used to be on team no flat sheet. But then I got annoyed at changing the cover on my king size quilt and annoyed at fitted sheets that were cut too small to actually fit the mattress, and I am currently on team ‘three flat sheets and a doona’ and I use a flat sheet on the mattress and on top & bottom of the uncovered doona. It would be a perfect system if Mr Woof didn’t insist on pulling everything apart and piling it into the middle of the bed, but there is nothing I have been able to find so far that is able to resist that.
It works pretty well (if you ignore dog sabotage). I have found the doona tends to move around in the cover a lot anyway and sheets are actually easier to straighten out than trying to reposition a doona in the cover.

I’ve wanted to try this, very hotel coded. It seems pretty smart.
