No bed spreads for youuuuuuu!!!

[gdrj]

This is exactly my situation. I am accustomed to sleeping with the weight of a comforter and is difficult to sleep without it. I just learned this last week when the AC went out and even I was hot. I tried sleeping without any covering and after 2 hours opted for a sheet, sweat and still a restless sleep.

If you watch a TV show that shows the germs on a bed spread in a typical hotel, you really won't sleep!

Most hotels are getting away from bed spreads.

No matter where we stay the spread gets removed, folded and put somewhere. We just don't trust it is clean. Triple sheet blanket is our comfort zone.

After working with a bedbug expert, I steer away from any shows that may make me even more freaked out about sleeping in a hotel!

Not only do we not clean the jetted tub before using it, we also sleep with the bedspread on. We're not dead yet.

We are just back from a split stay--AKV (Jambo House), BLT, OKW and VB (all in a 1 bedroom) and I think the only place that still had the bed spread was AKV. I like the idea of the triple sheets as it has a very clean feel to it, but it does detract a bit from from the decor. At night I have always folded the comforter at the bottom of the bed and then would use it in the morning when I would make the bed. With the triple sheeting I had trouble getting the bed to look as nice as they did!

Members complained about the bedspreads and now they will complain about the triple sheets, there is no pleasing everyone, and honestly I don't at times know how they manage to please the majority.

Taking the bedspreads off and putting them away was an easier solution than traveling with your own blankets and like towels and such, I am sure the blankets will be limited to a certain number per room as they should be.

They do realize there's something called air conditioning, don't they? I actually get quite cold in the night, since I have different temperature needs than DH and DS do, and it defaults to them b/c they can only take so much off while I can use the comforter. So this will end up...interesting...for me. (I also have a weird thing where I need the weight of a comforter for easy sleeping, no matter how hot it is (and in western WA not a lot of people have AC, and that need was put to the test this last month of heat wave without AC!))

Great. Can I fit my own comforter in my Owners Locker?

You may be ok - personally I find triple sheeting to be almost as heavy as many comforters although I do like more lightweight comforters than what they had for DVC.

Years ago when we took the kids, we would fold up the bedspreads, put them on the floor and have the kids sleep on them. They're in their 20s and survived the germs.

Now when I stay anywhere I check for bedbugs, ugh!

If I remember to check for bedbugs, it's usually about day three or so.

I heard moving away from bedspreads is a hotel industry trend. Not sure if this is truly the main reason, but I was told it had to do with customers' fears of them being less than super clean.

Yeah, us too.

and that is why it is now an industry trend........Laura

I have worked in housekeeping in the past and I will say on that side the bedspreads are a pain. They don't get washed often and are more often on the floor than anything else.

Triple sheeting is actually easier than dealing with bedspreads and is more cleanly and all of it washes easier than bedspreads when need be.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong...but I swear that BLT had triple sheeting last October. If that's the "model" they're moving to, fine by me! It was a very comfortable bed to sleep in.

Frankly, I'd be happy if Disney housekeepers would learn HOW to make a bed properly! Tucking all the layers in at once is NOT the way it should be done. When you try to get in and turn down the bedding, the bottom sheet comes out with it because it was tucked in at the same time! I always end up remaking a Disney bed BEFORE I use it. I take everything on top back so I can properly make mitered corners on the bottom sheet and then do the same on the top coverings without including them with the bottom. If I don't do this, the bottom sheet always comes off during the night, and I'm sleeping on the bare mattress. That is NOT where I want to be!!!

No, it was a duvet. A very lumpy duvet that did not stay in the cover very well and it was a nightmare to make the bed.

I thought I was the only one who had troubles with that darn bottom sheet! We, too, always remake the bed. My husband laughs at me, but I can't sleep knowing that sheet will creep up on me in the middle of the night!

On a related note - does anyone have links to the pictures of these new comforter-less beds? I'd love to see what the scarf at the end of the bed looks like. Which resorts are done?

There was a picture posted on one of my DVC Facebook groups yesterday of a BCV villa with the triple sheeting. There was no runner and no throw pillows but it still had the dust ruffle (with a white Mickey head towel arrangement on the bed).

I didn't like it at all. It looked like a white sheeted, unmade bed.
They need something with color--at least a runner. Definitely didn't look like a deluxe resort. Looked like housekeeping had forgotten to finish making the bed. I hope DVC fixes this soon.

I'm getting ready to post something really embarrassing. I hate the way they make the bed, too, and I especially hate it when hotels use flat sheets rather than fitted sheets because they NEVER stay in place for me. Solution - I take a fitted sheet with me and one of the first things I do when I get to the room is remake my bed with my fitted sheet.
