Coverless duvets and washing in the machine.....question!

[Dave7]

I am only thinking of swapping to coverless duvet (thanks to @Mo ).
My washing machine has a 8 Kg capacity.
Google tells me i need at least 8-10 km so mine is borderline.
I won't get them if it means going to the launderette every 2 weeks.
So........anyone have coverless and if so does anyone manage with an 8 Kg machine?

We have a super dooper 'big load' machine and you've still got to be careful with a soaked duvet, it's mainly the weight being un-balanced. Our machine will refuse to spin if it detects the load is too 'heavy'.

I suppose it all depends upon how much moisture the duvet holds, you may be OK.

The only merit I can see in a Coverless Duvet, its it eliminates the need to wrangle a duvet cover on and off it, which is a job i relish using the inside out flip technique, but I know some find it (literally) a pain, especially in advancing years.

It does however throw different challenges in the washing & drying department

My duvet hates me !! It even gives me the evil eye.
I'm 79 and although I the change cover virtually every week I find it a real pain.
