OZnewbie Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Can someone please explain to me how the bedding works in Australia? I'm confused, should I be buying a 'quilt cover' a.k.a duvet cover as is in Europe or should I be buying a 'sheet set' and basically have a flat sheet under the duvet as is the bedding in North America? ..

Peachy Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I am sure that this is down to personal choice!! I am a duvet type of person and there are plenty on offer here. I really don't think you need to worry about choice of bedding when considering your big move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Personal preference. I never use a sheet set, have always used a quilt/duvet and fitted sheet on the mattress. They sell plenty of options here, sheet set, fitted sheet, quilt covers, so not sure what your dilemma is. Just get what suits your needs.

VERYSTORMY Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You are also better buying there as bed sizes are slightly different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to personal preference but the terminology and sizing is slightly different here. A duvet is normally called a dyna (or doona) or quilt in Australia. The American style cover is usually called a comforter or coverlet here. A guide to bedding sizes here: https://www.sheetsontheline.com.au/pages/bed-linen-size-chart Note that Queen and King sizing are different in Australia to the UK.

calNgary Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I use sheet sets in the summer months, but in winter when using a duvet (doona in Aus) i don;t put on the top sheet. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very strange comment: a bed with a duvet cover still requires a bottom sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I always have a bottom sheet and a top sheet but then have either a coverlet in summer, or a duvet (with duvet cover on) throughout the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
