What kind of duvet cover do you have And who bought it?

Also, what is the lighting like in your bedroom?

This a Portsmouth university research question.

Thanks in advance

You would be 100% correct (no duvets, sheets and blankets, and the corners have to be tucked just so. Ailsa doesn’t ‘do’ duvets)

Hahaha love this post.

When I was new to online dating I learned a lesson - a guy lied to me about being married when we were chatting. Something about his pictures made me suspect it but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Afterwards when he owned up I realised it was the white bedding with little pillows on the bed! No way a single man would have that hahaha

It’s grey on one side and white on the other it has a pattern on it but I can’t remember what it is and can’t be bothered to go upstairs and look. My mother bought it for me and put it on my bed while I was in hospital last year so it was nice for coming home after two weeks sleeping like shit on uncomfortable hospital beds. I have others but like this one as it has a zip rather than buttons

Lighting is standard have the main Light and matching lamps on the bedside tables but like most blokes I can’t be bothered to use lamps just use main light

I have a few. Mainly checked or striped, but also a plain white/grey and this blue/white patterned thing. Thread count: high. Also a very special Christmas dog one (which was a gift)! No cushions - I'm not a woman, despite appearances to the contrary above.

Bedside lamps, not the main light.

I'm always amazed when women are surprised by this sort of thing. We weren't all raised in barns!

We tend to think of function over form, both create light but it’s generally easier to just use the light switch

Here's where I sound like a right ponce. I have in the past made my own duvet covers but i tend to just buy them now, always plain white and always decent quality, usually Egyptian cotton, I have a fairly high end embroidery machine so i add my own designs on the plain white cotton, at the min I have "my Everton one" on, plain white Egyptian cotton with the club badge embroidered on each bottom corner, the old club badge in the middle with UTFT in 5x3 inch letters next to it.

King size bed with a home made mattress protector on as I find the store bought ones not up to scratch, home made fitted sheet on top, home made pillow protectors, all white. I know I sound like a quilt myself.

Got rid of my bedside lamps as they were taking up space on my bedside cabinet, just use the main light or the light from my bedroom telly

All Bamboo bedding, all bought by myself. Doesn't match because I'm not that organised with buying bedding.

Lights I have a few.

Main light is a smart bulb with any-shade, usually purple.

Under the bed is an LED strip on a motion sensor, usually on red.

The bedlamp is made from driftwood and brass, a one off.

The other bedlam is made from a carburettor and a racing air filter, also a one off.

Lighting is one large smart light. I adjust colour & brightness for ambience. No bedside lights as the one smart light covers all functions.
