In a lot of countries they don't do top sheets but instead a comforter in a cover. I hate hate hate it, because you either are under a comforter and potentially too warm or you have nothing vetween you and the cold air. This was the case both in england and in Israel this last trip.
Interestingly, M, who was raised here but with a mother who had grown up in Germany, tells me that it wasn't until a college girlfriend that he was introduced to the concept of a top sheet under blankets / comforter. To him, this had been an all but life-changing Best Thing Ever.
