    Dont use them either
    We bought a pack from target last week- 1000 count fitted sheet and two pillow cases- no fitted sheet WHOOT! $69 - CHEAP!

    They are out there- just hard to find- i reckon i have enough flat sheets that i have never even used to bed a 3rd world country- every now and again go and give them to a charirty anayway!

    $69 for 1000 thread count! I just paid $300 for 1000 thread count sheet set

    I don't like to use a top sheet, but dh does. So to compromise, he gets a top sheet, and I get to use any quilt cover I like He doesn't like the girly ones, so they're the ones that go on the bed!

    I use them for guests I think it's nice to stay somewhere and slip into a fresh bed with a nice comfy sheet set
    For my own bed though, nope. It ended up folded along the head of the bed, under my top half so that Ashtons spew and milk everywhere could be cleaned with removing one sheet, and not having to unmake the whole bed before the end of the fortnight when I usually do a sheet change lol

    I dont use them either. Just makes the bed more difficult to make. When i change the fitted sheet I change the doona cover. I also like this as thaen I have a change in doona cover.

    Like Mel, I do put them on guest beds though

    I use them - I like to have something over me and there's no way I could sleep under a doona in summer. Also You can't get a doona nice and tight like a top sheet.

    The only time I use a top sheet is when its a hot night, other than that top sheets really annoy me cause I always get tangled up in them.

    If we have guests I give them the option of having a top sheet but very few people we know use top sheets

    We don't have one on the bed, I get tangled in it and hubby just doesn't like them. I also have the Target 1000 count sets which were just fitted sheet and 2 pillow cases.

    Ugh, I can't stand top sheets!! I'm so glad to finally discover I'm not the only one who simply doesn't bother with them! My mum always thought I was a complete freak for ripping off topsheets as soon as she put fresh linen on my bed.

    DH isn't a big fan of them either, when we got together I was flat-out convincing him he needed a fitted sheet and a pillowcase, he was so used to the bachelor life of sleeping on a bare mattress with a stained pillow!! But he soon came around (he has a big streak of clean-freak in him, just couldn't be bothered keeping a nice bed when he had nobody to share it with), although he doesn't care much for top sheets.

    I still sleep under a winter-weight doona even in the hottest days of summer, and I live in Queensland where by rights I should be sleeping in a bathtub filled with ice! I just need something to cover me and a sheet or light blanket is far too light and flimsy, I end up getting tangled and feel like I'm still naked (even though I sleep fully clothed).

    We bought VUE sheets recently from Myer. They were very high thread count so just beautiful to sleep on Of course the top sheet is folded up in the cupboard because we don't use a top sheet. We both can't stand top sheets. It annoys me too!! I don't want that one in the packet, just the bottom one!

    DD has a top sheet on her bed always, but the only time I put 1 on my bed is during winter..
    The thread count doesn't bother me..

    I love top sheets. My DH is Polish and his entire family don't use top sheets and neither do any of the my Polish friends.It is a Polish thing apparently.

    If you have heaps of top sheets around you could use them on your kids beds or have them made into single bed fitted sheets.

    We use a top sheet. I like having it there. In summer when its too hot to have the doona on but you still want something to cover you.. and in winter makes you that little bit warmer.
