No, I sleep on normal sheet like normal people.
Does it have elastic bands in it that hold it to the mattress or is it just like, a loose sheet draped over everything?

Big sheet that you just wrap around mattress. My earlier post has pic of the sheet I meant.
Really easy just grab and take for cleaning. Idea of a sheet between me and my blanket feels so wrong.
This is almost 100% correct. The only thing I would change is that I would consider the blanket optional for winter, not the duvet. My duvet stays on the bed all year.
Ah, so it's just a larger sheet then. A fitted sheet is the same thing but it just has elastic bands that keep it tucked under the mattress. Hardly devilry.
No need for a sheet between you and your blanket, it's the comforter that you're trying to protect. Blankets can fit in a regular washer, a comforter cannot. If you don't use one, for whatever reason, then enjoy your blanket sans sheet.
This is what I do. Not sure why people are freaking out about it. You never take off the mattress cover. Just take off your fitted sheet and top sheet when you have to wash your sheets. It takes like a minute.
The only downside is that it makes getting out of bed harder. It's so difficult to leave all that comfort behind.
All this seems like the result of marketing.

Those are even worse than the ones you put mattress all in. Those I have met few times in my life unfortunately. Duvet/comforter/blanket all the same to me. I have duvet in duvet cover.
Edit: Edit2: (fitted sheets) They never actually fit my mattress too well or keep their place during night.
Should have been the first post
See, I think just a loose sheet tucked underneath would be just as, if not more likely to not stay on.
At least I think we can all agree, people who sleep on just a bare mattress are heathens, right? Can GAF at least come together on that one?

Same, don't get the per pose of the flat sheet.
Not the first time. We don't have the flat sheet on our bed, but I grew up using the flat sheet. Our sleeping arrangements are much more normal these days then when we first moved in together. She grew up differently in a different country with different sleeping customs.
Today the conversation came up when I was setting up the guest bedroom for my parents. She was like don't put the flat sheet on the bed. I was like, but if it gets too hot and they don't want to cover with the comforter then they can use the sheet. She was like, that is not a cover, so we disagreed and decided to Gaf it.

I use my flat sheet as a barrier between my girlfriends ass and my ass. No ass to ass touching while i'm sleeping.

Flat sheets are uncomfortable. They're too thin.

Because usually it isn't cold enough to be entirely under a comforter.
You put the comforter over your upper body so your arms and chest can feel the comfort, but you put the flat sheet over your lower body to stay cool. You can leave your feet hanging out if it is still too warm.
Yeah, I mean... I don't see how this is even a question. When you have a fitted sheet and a flat sheet, the point is to put the fitted sheet on the mattress and the flat sheet between you and the blanket/comforter/whatever.
If some places use a flat sheet in place of the fitted sheet, that's fine, whatever. But why on earth would you use two sheets and then sleep on top of both of them?

For me:
Mattress > Fitted Sheet > Blanket. Sheet & blanket are deliciously soft microfleece :3

This is what I grew up with.
Blanket and Comforter usually got removed in hot seasons though.

Correct.
Also, etiquette is to always sleep on the wet spot. Get a towel if you must.
I still do not believe you sleep with no sheets.
I am currently in bed browsing gaf sheetless.

I stayed over at a friend's house and there were so many sheets that I didn't know where to sleep. Mattress-FittedSheet-Duvet-DuvetCover for me. As for your question, I would sleep under the flat sheet, which I do at hotels, where they often don't wash the comforters.

I sleep on top of however many sheets are involved in the bed I'm in. Mostly because I like sticking my feet out of the blankets, and I don't wanna kick like a madman (more so than I already do) to deal with getting it out of a sheet as well.
I know it's trikki, but I have dikki.
You should have asked for more sheets.

fitted sheet

if it's hot, slide the comforter down.
anything else and I may as well put an apple in my mouth and season myself. can't stand overly layered hotel beds.

Because where else would I store it? I don't have a linen cabinet. Might as well throw it on the bed and use it when I need it.

fitted sheet is that bastard that keeps bouncing back to the middle of the bed when you pull on the opposite side to put it on
Fitted sheets have elastic so they can stay on the mattress. Flat sheet does not.
Use your legs and feet to guide the sheet. Thats how I do it.
Ahhh, I never knew they had a name but the use is pretty self explanatory. I dont even use comforters on hot nights. Just the flat sheets.
I thought I was the only one that did this.
Well except the comforter. but I sleep with a sweater sometimes so maybe it evens out

I personally don't use one, but when I did it was common sense to go under. Hell is the purpose of having a sheet and sleeping on top of another?
..no, the fitted sheet is wrapped around five (and edges of the sixth) sides of the mattress using the (usually) elastic bands sewn to the edges.
Seen here:
The flat sheet goes on top of the fitted sheet. The occupant is supposed to lie on top of the fitted sheet, but underneath the flat sheet; so that it can protect the duvet/comforter from the oils excreted from the person's skin.
See how there is no elastic band:
