sheet on the bed? With the pattern towards the ceiling? Or towards the mattress - so you are sleeping ''between'' the sheets? |

Well if I had patterned top sheet (which I don't) I would put it on pattern facing mattress, then fold the top 12 inch over the top of the quilt. With nurses' set-square corners, and a crease -in -the -sheet -for -the -feet. Hope that helps, Joan |

Poor Claire......I usually sleep with my eyes closed, so the pattern doesn't bother me!! |

Claire - ignore them love - I know what you mean. I had to once request that if anyone was buying me sheets/covers etc for the bed that they were unpatterened as the patterened ones always feel heavier when you're trying to sleep. Makes me feel like i'm getting crushed. |

I have plain sheets top and bottom, which fold over top duvet cover when I am in bed. always use sheets,then I dont have to change duvet cover so often,keeping it from fading by washing every week. and I aint washing the matching curtains every week lol If I had patterned I would have it on top so when you fold it over.. you see the pattern.

I also have a blanket on top of (my side of) the duvet - annoys my husband all to heck. I'm always cold. Except in the summer when I only have a sheet - and he is still under the duvet. |

What about your pillow cases then? Mine usually match my top sheet. |

Mine match the bottom sheet and duvet cover but contrast with the coverlet, I have 3 on each side and then 2 big square ones which we flop about on to watch tv, |
