!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A while back, I stayed at a friend’s house and slept over on their guest bed. The sheet on it was like a double-layered sheet. It was super comfortable. It had an enveloping feel to it similar to a comforter, yet it was as thin as a sheet. I’m a hot sleeper so it was perfect for me.

Does anyone know what kind of sheet this is? I’d like to buy one for myself.

I mean, it might have just been an empty liner / cover for a comforter - those are essentially sheets that are sewn together so you can fit a comforter between them, so you can take the comforter out and wash the sheet cover occasionally and keep the comforter clean.

So maybe google "duvet cover" or "quilt cover" and see if that matches?

I think what you're describing is a "duvet cover". A "duvet" is a two part comforter with a bulky padded insert and a thin washable outer shell. There are a variety of types of duvet covers available in all kinds of different materials and many of them would essentially match your description of "two sheets sewn together" but they can also be significantly thicker and heavier weight materials, they still would be thin and won't have the padding of a comforter though as that would be what the insert is normally for. The giveaway would be that there's usually a zipper or button flap somewhere to insert the comforter insert into, and there are usually buttons or ties on the inside as well to keep the insert from bunching up.

You could just get one of those and skip the insert. I often sleep with just a duvet cover during the summer.

Did you try asking the friend?

[–] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Not friends anymore, hence why I posted here

Tried to steal a sheet and it escalated badly.

Was a dickhead (that was his personality I suppose but he took it too far) and he got sucked into a pyramid scheme

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Was the pyramid scheme selling the sheets?

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Clearly not. If it had been, they would still be friends.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe because you made his single-layer sheet into a double-layer sheet?

[–] bigpEE@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you not just talking about a fitted sheet and top sheet? I.e. the standard bedsheet setup?

[–] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Nope, a single “sheet” but it was kind of built like a blanket. Imagine two sheets sewn together, and that’s practically what it was.

[–] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Maybe a jersey knit sheet?
