>>In my house, we have sheets, blankets and comforters. The comforters stay on the beds most of the time (unlike a bedspread) and serve as the extra blanket in winter.

>We don't have that expression - comforter - some sort of bedspread? Ever tried a duvet? Difficult to go back afterwards. As I say, the vast maj. of Brits have duvets. And they've been around since the 7os.
A comforter is somewhere between a quilt and a bedspread. In my experience, a bedspread is meant to be a decorative covering only and is supposed to be entirely removed before you go to sleep. A comforter is decorative, but is typically quilted and adds a layer of warmth.
I've had a duvet in a hotel or two. The big issue for me is that I like something to be tucked in at the foot of the bed.

As I said <g>, I like something tucked in at the bottom, but if the bed is made up properly in the first place (good hospital corners), the sheet and blanket stay tucked, so making up the bed in the morning is just a matter of pulling the covers up neatly.
