Why People Aren’t Using Top Sheets On Beds Anymore

For someone like me, who could easily bury themselves under a pile of quilts, duvets, and pillows, it’s hard to imagine a bed with just the bare essentials. My husband, on the other hand, seems immune to the cold, which results in our bed consisting only of a fitted sheet, top sheet, a single pillow each, and a light quilt. If this sounds like your bedding arrangement too, then we might just be out of touch with the current trend: many are skipping the top sheet altogether. Let’s dive into the why.
The humble top sheet originally had a hygienic purpose. It served as a barrier between our bodies and heavier bed covers like duvets, quilts, and comforters. This meant that while the sheets and pillowcases required frequent laundering, the heavier, bulkier items did not.

How To Make Spicy Southern Fried Chicken

Southerners weren’t the first in the world to flip their chicken. Almost every country offers some version of fried chicken or fricassee, from the Vietnamese Gà Xaò to the Frito Italia.

Recipes for fried chicken did not appear in popular “Northern” cookbooks until the early 20th century.Considered by many to be one of the best fried chicken recipes in the world,
