The Flat sheet issue - what say CoJ?

Never realized this was such a burning issue. I'll be monitoring this thread closely for unruly behavior so keep the discussion civil.

I recently stayed in a (brand new) hotel that did not have top/flat sheets on the beds. It REALLY disturbed a few of my co-workers because of the common knowledge that hotel chains do not launder bedspreads/duvets regularly - the perception is only a few times a year but you'd have to ask someone in the industry. They requested top sheets and made a mild stink over it. They did find out that for hotels that do not put top sheets on as a standard practice are required to launder the bedspreads at a much higher rate. Something like once a week but don't quote me on that. 

At home I have never gone without. It comes with the sheet set and makes a nice light cover in the summertime. I tuck the foot-end in, but it always sees to work it's way out after a few days. 

Same.  I grew up with them, and as soon as I left home I only slept with a comforter, no flat sheet.  My chicldren have never known a flat sheet.......I agree with those who think it's part of the complete moral breakdown of our society, and my mother would be appalled......I just don't care.

All top sheet, all the time.

I can't STAND feeling a draft, so on hot nights, I need something to cover up that's not a cover, per say.

Oh, and since my feet are basically always off the end of anything but a cal king?  I can NOT have them tucked.

Yep, it's definitely a cleanliness issue to me. Our bodies sweat, shed skins cells, etc while we're in bed. That's why we wash the sheets. EWWW on not using a top sheet.
