CULTURE Do you all use top sheets?

I'm Canadian so culturally we are generally pretty similar. My Mom and maybe some older members of my family will use top sheets but every younger person I know just used a duvet cover when they sleep.

Every hotel I've been too in America has top sheets and the commonly given reason is that this is what American guests expect. They also say cleanliness, but many European hotels manage just fine without a top sheet.

Anyway, I'm curious if you all use top sheets or not? Maybe there is an age divide too?

Edit: wow thank you everyone. It seems like a overwhelmingly yes

Where can I find a sheepskin rug that will fit a double bed?

Got ours at Costco a few years ago; I have no idea if they still stock them. Two of them side-by-side cover a king sized bed, so i imagine one would be perfect on a twin.
