The thing on the bed that looks like a marshmallow is a duvet. If you
unfold it you can sleep under it.

And it's wrapped in the "top sheet" 8-)

What kind of hotels do YOU stay in? It's true that, in winter, I've
encountered down comforters (with changeable covers), in which case they
may not use a top sheet, but aside from that..... (Out of curiosity, if
you find European customs so far inferior to those in the U.S., why do you
bother to travel there?)

You sleep under the duvet which has a cover on it.

At home we have a top sheet on top of us under the duvet.

Top sheets go back to the days when in UK we had blanket(s).

Just be thankful she didn't ask why they don't have a bottom sheet in
Europe.

I lived in the US for 11 years and never possessed a top sheet. Was I
missing out on something?

Must have been your own doing...I have lived in the US 75+ years and always
had a top and bottom sheet for my bed, even during the depression years.
In fact, sets of sheets always come with a top and fitted sheet plus two
pillow cases.
