I just discovered why i might have had some problems with my sleeping sheet lately. I like sleeping sheets, sheet and blanket in one. But i'm not very handy with these things and last time i put the blanketthingy inside the sleeping sheet some i managed to put it the wrong way.... The long side of the blanket at the short side of the sheet.... I have wondered why the feet seem to have only sheet no blanket all the time but havent even imagined i could do such a blunder. Has gone on for some time too.... In spite of making up the bed i havent thought of looking inside the sleeping sheet. Now i have made a change. Feels a lot better. Perhaps i even sleep better. But how incredible stupid of me.....!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Kurben - after watching the video (in French not Swedish) to me it just looks like a duvet! (with a duvet cover, of course). I have had one of these since my boyfriend [at the time] brought me one back from Germany. I love it in winter as it is full of down and nice and fluffy yet warm.

Eh, it happens :) I have a queen sized bed, and I can never decide which way the comforter is supposed to go. It looks right either way... until I get in and it no longer covers my feet. Then I have to get out of bed and give the stupid thing a quarter turn, so the slightly longer end goes from head to foot instead of side to side. It LOOKS all right either way!

Not a problem Kurben. Evolution has caused men to avoid instructions and rely on our wits, so we’re always allowed a Mulligan. Women think it an odd quirk in men, but it’s a two-part learning experience which helps us to grow and has maintained us as the stronger of the species... because we learn how to do something and how not to do something. Brilliant! Good thing you got it right the second time because if it would have taken you three tries you would be required to wear pumps for a week. :)

I can understand the dimensions might be different then... But my is a single bed and its not so much the original mistake i am irritated at but that it went unnoticed for so long.....
