So I've noticed something on some of my most recent vacation visits. People seem to be foregoing the flat sheet bedding in favor of just a fitted sheet on the bed and the comforter on top. Opinions? Is the flat sheet necessary? [Reply]

Mind blowing if people are making beds this way!!!
We might be arguing the same point here.
In the summertime, you crank down the AC and turn a fan on so you can get under the flat sheet and comforter both, if not an extra blanket. I have a Solaron blanket I use even in the summer because they're so fucking comfy (and plus I read somewhere that people sleep deeper when they have a weighted blanket on them).

Yep! Even if they're not doing that, think of the dead skin cells and mites that get into the comforter which doesn't get washed as often. Both top and bottom sheet gets laundered at least every week or two even at home. But in a hotel once a day or two and always after someone checks out. [Reply]
The hotels I stay at when I travel for business (same ones every time) stopped including a top sheet a few years ago, just a big thick comforter now. I’ve gotten used to it but I’m not a fan, always saw that top sheet as the clean layer between me and the comforter.
Top sheets at home? Of course. After all, we aren’t communists. [Reply]

Agreed. Not having a flat sheet is like not wearing any underwear.:-) [Reply]
You wonder if any of these hotels/motels know this is going on. I mean think about it if you are the maid service, putting a fitted sheet on then just throwing a comforter on is a lot easier than having to deal also with tucking in a flat sheet as well. Sure it might be to cut costs but something tells me that is not going on here. If the customer complains then the front desk just say's "oh we're sorry the maid service must have forgotten the flat sheet, we'll take care of that shortly". And the complaints are not numerous enough to raise any eyebrows with mgmt.
Unspoken practice to make the maid service easier is my point. [Reply]
