How many duvet covers do you have for the bed you sleep in? I have about 10 AIBU?

LibertyLily · 18/10/2025 01:08

Two that are rotated (plus a third that we bought when we'd just completed on this house last year and hadn't decided what colour our bedroom would be).

The two we use are a plain navy 100% cotton and a plain olive 100% linen. We have interesting patterned pillowcases from Society of Wanderers and Sage & Clare, as well as a block printed throw from Doing Goods which mix things up a bit.

The third one is a ditsy Joules floral, but despite being lovely, doesn't go with the style of the room so doesn't get used. It will be charity shopped when I get round to it.

I can't get over how many some people have!

Eight or nine.
I love bedding .

Frillysweetpea · 18/10/2025 00:05

Two that we alternate all the time and a spare one from the previous house (doesn't really 'go'), just in case of illness with vomiting etc. The duvet is the main decorative feature in the room; it's a William Morris design (both the same) in 100% cotton so couldn't imagine having more without breaking the bank!

I've just put the teddy bear fleece bedding on. It's so soft and warm, I love it.

CountryChristmas · 17/10/2025 23:50

For our bed, we have 10.

2 are autumn themed, 2 are Christmas themed and then 6 others. Kids have a similar amount each.

IsThisLifeNow · 17/10/2025 23:49

Way too many! I'm going through a rough patch and trying to cheer myself up with small things that make me smile that aren't food based, but also not roo hideously expensive either.

I am going to stop now and enjoy the ones I have though!

Enko · 17/10/2025 23:48

3 sets now neatly stored on the bedsheet organisers I boight. 4 for the single bed and 5 for the double (that rarely gets use) all nealtly folded makes me feel oddly satisfied

RollerSkateLikePeggy · 17/10/2025 21:14

One here too. I would like to know how big some of your linen cupboards are, I'm picturing some Mitford Hons style cupboard!

We don't have one but I purchased a single wardrobe and shelved it which fits in a weird alcove on dcs room perfectly.

AlwaysADramaHadEnough · 17/10/2025 23:42

Recently cleared out after decorating our room and dcs wanting to clear some out they dont use. So we only have 3 for our bed
Ds1 has 3
Dd1 has 3
Dd2 has 5
Ds2 has 5

3 dcs have Xmas ones. Eldest hates festive ones.

I love each week having a different one on the beds

Sub2Mumma · 17/10/2025 23:41

3 normal summer
3 normal winter
2 festive
2 pairs of curtains for the bedroom too that get swapped over at autumn and spring

lazyarse123 · 17/10/2025 23:38

3 . 2 summer and 1 winter. One of each set has Highland cows on. Love a Highland cow.

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 17/10/2025 23:23

Three. All pretty ancient.
One of them is currently covering my winter duvet all ready in the Attic (loft? 🤔) for a quick winter change.
Had brought it out a few weeks ago for a night, realised it wasn't cold enough yet and stuffed it back up there till Winter proper. ❄️

PleaseStopEatingMyStuff · 17/10/2025 23:07

We have hardly any storage space. I wash, dry and put back on on the same day.

I'd LOVE a big linen cupboard tho!

My spare room has storage shelves all along one wall, I live alone so that gets used for stuff I buy on offer (toilet rolls, bleach, toothpaste, soap etc) plus towels and bedding

LillyPJ · 17/10/2025 23:03

Three, but one of them doesn't really go with the colour on the walls so I don't use that one much.

Greentreesx · 17/10/2025 23:02

2 one on one off.

applemangoo · 17/10/2025 23:01

3/4

PickledOnionOverdose · 17/10/2025 23:01

None - don't have any duvets, just blankets.

same! I don’t even have a linen cupboard tbh. It all goes in a chest of drawers in the spare room.

sweetpickle2 · 17/10/2025 22:45

2- so we can put a new one on when we wash the other. Spare rooms each have 2 sets as well.

10 is unhinged. So is 1- I need to put a new set on as soon as I take off the old, otherwise I forget until it’s bedtime and then the bed isn’t made (worst feeling ever).

Lovemycat2023 · 17/10/2025 22:41

We’ve got king sized duvets on both beds, even though the spare is a double bed, so there are 5 sets I think which can be used in either room. I do now regret not getting a king for the spare room too as finding the right fitted sheet is a pain.

No tumble dryer so we need at least some spares. I am now very tempted to buy a brushed cotton set, and have found a lovely one at Dunelm!

Denim4ever · 17/10/2025 22:36

I'm perplexed by the idea that some have only one set of bedding. So basically, it means never changing your bedding as in one set off and another on.

Denim4ever · 17/10/2025 22:31

Household owns about 12 double duvet covers and 4 single ones. DS has single bed at home and 3/4 bed in uni halls. He has 2 covers with him at uni. We have 3 bed house with 2 double bedrooms. All bedding stores neatly in Ottoman in spare bedroom

I have nine in total 5 of one style and two each of the other two styles they are all ikea Discontinued styles so if I see more of them on Vinted etc I try to buy them . I also have about a dozen fitted sheets as there're a European King size which IKEA no longer stock i have stock piled as I love my bigger than average bed.

I’ve got that size Ikea bed that Ikea no longer stock the linens for. Really annoying!!
