Page 2 | How many duvet covers?

Bananalanacake · 18/10/2025 09:05

I have over 20 single duvet covers, but then I live in Germany where double duvets are rare. I sleep with a single duvet and DH prefers a large blanket. These 20 are used regularly also for my 2 DDS and our guest room. I don't have seasonal ones. I like a variety, I'd get very bored with a cover less duvet.

I love bedding as well. I have about 6/7 sets 😀

@soupyspoon It was a double set and it was reduced, but it was exactly what I've been looking for for months. I knew I'd spot a bargain event! By the way, I think Ikea have changed their sizes now. I know they used to have weird bedding sizes but now conform to UK sizes here.

Unless I went to look , not sure , like clothes you have your favourites , and others that don't much get used . Between 6 - 10 but more likely 7/8 ish .

I only buy pure cotton but I wouldn't pay more than £30 for a double set. My last set was from Tesco, cost £20 and is absolutely gorgeous. The set I had to throw away when it got too worn was one I bought from a supermarket nearly 20 years ago.

20 quid for pure cotton for a king size?

Thats very good

I think Ive had other stuff from Aldi over the years and that is dirt cheap too

Also I think I might have had Ikea but its not quite the right shape or size for UK duvets and I got the hump with it not quite going into the corners.

I saw one the other day in Dunelm, that was just over 100, its lovely. I keep thinking about it

I had no idea some people bought bed linen like I buy jumpers, and switch it around all the time. The things you learn on MN.
We just buy new when the current set’s getting old and tatty (or in the case of the last one, had shrunk, making the duvet too small for DH’s feet). Pick nice design in comfortable cotton that goes reasonably well with the curtains, buy two sets and that’s job done for as long as it lasts. I hope the ones we’ve just bought last a long time as I really like them.

I have 2 cotton for summer
2 brushed cotton for now
2 teddy fleece style for winter

Just changed my 7 tog duvet to my 13.5 yesterday as it’s definitely gone colder this week here in East Midlands .

MyOliveStork · 18/10/2025 07:46

I have 3 but really just alternate between 2 as not so keen on one of them. Wouldn’t have the storage for 10 and isn’t that just a waste of money??? Why do you need so many?

LillyPJ · 18/10/2025 07:43

I'm astonished at how many people have said they have a Christmas or festive set! I've never heard of such a thing before and certainly won't be getting one. It sounds really wasteful and unnecessary to me.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 18/10/2025 06:44

Three, four if you include the Christmas one

I was going to say three, but yes we do have a Christmas one too.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 18/10/2025 07:37

Two. I have two throws that go on top - a lightweight one for summer, heavy one for winter, so I just have plain white duvet covers that get replaced when they need to.

It is, because most of mine were Laura Ashley, Dorma, other brands which are a bit pricey. Usually around £150 for my king size and now I only have 5 sets for that as Ive got rid of quite a lot.

We have 3 sets for the single bed that my OH uses in the week, most of those were dirt cheap and I would like to replace them

We have 2 sets for the spare double that doenst get used a lot. One I bought the other day from Aldi for 15 quid!! Pure brushed cotton. The other was more expensive and I dont like it now so thats going.

I keep buying bedding though, I constantly see new sets I like.

I only buy cotton or linen and that puts the price up

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 18/10/2025 07:34

Had a massive clear out a few years ago though.

PersephoneParlormaid · 18/10/2025 07:34

One. Washed and put back on same day.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/10/2025 07:33

3 Wash wear spare

Two. DC have 3, mainly because I was stuck on gifts one year and saw character ones they'd like. They're all beginning to look rather tired though, apart from the character ones which they've had for 4 or 5 years now, they're over ten years in use and showing it!

Two! Super king in cotton is so expensive, I faint at the thought of multiple sets!

Agree, I was horrified last time I had to buy a new one . I would love to try a linen set of bedding but I am very sensitive to the feel of fabric and don't dare spend the money only to find I hate it!

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 18/10/2025 06:44

Moresparecashplease · 18/10/2025 01:37

I've got at least 10 .
I like buying new ones but resist the temptation as much as possible because I really don't have any more storage space for bedding - I keep it in underbed storage boxes.

One for each bed in our house
