No--
I use a fitted bottom sheet (an electric mattress pad beneath) and a
quilt with a cover. No blanket, its easier that way.

I like the idea of using a duvet cover as a sleeping pouch. I'd only
have to rip out one side part-way down to allow for easily crawling in.

It would also be neater on the bed.

I don't make my bed anymore since reading more about mites than I wanted
to. I just fold sheet/blanket down to the bottom of the bed so bedding
can dry.

If I used a sleeping pouch it could be neatly folded in the same way;
just have to get an attractive fitted sheet to serve as cover when not a
bed. Maybe even put pillows loosely into folded duvet and put at the top
of the bed to make it look more finished.

This would eliminate trying to shove everything back after you've raised
the mattress to get something under the bed. Our RV always looks as if
WE live in it '-(

In the past year we brought something into the house which produced an
allergic reaction in both of us. My partner was more affected than me
because I live on allergy pills anyway and didn't know I was reacting to
something different.

He did INTENSE research, saw several specialists, government disease
agencies (they don't care about only 2 people) etc. trying to find the
source and how to get rid of it. He looked into bed mites as a possible
factor, can't remember where we came across that information. But it
did remove the guilt of never making up the bed. Now there is a reason!
I just the blankets (neatly) to the foot of the bed.

Never found the source and doctors don't care. Their response is "don't
know" and they leave it at that.

and I've seen it in other places that I can't find now - probably a
newspaper or magazine. There was something about the quantity of sweat that
we produce every night - several pints, IIRC - that made me start to fold
the duvet down in the morning instead of fluffing it right over the
mattress.

But I do fold it back neatly. Honest.

Mostly.
