How many duvet covers do you have for the bed you sleep in?

I have about 10 AIBU?

2 or 3 full sets. (I'm actually about to sort the ottoman after turfing everything out looking for my Halloween costume).

One duvet cover that I use as a sheet in the hight of summer, and a few spare pillow cases for when I'm sick and don't want to lay my head in last night's gross-ness.

Two!

Agreed, 2. No storage space for any more even if I wanted them, which I don't.

Three. One on the bed, one in the wash and one spare in case of leaks, hot flushes etc.

Three.

RedRiverShore5 · 17/10/2025 20:14

1 summery that gets washed and dried then back on
2 wintery that are used alternately.

MustTryHarderAndHarder · 17/10/2025 20:14

Two and one spare just in case I have an emergency and I need the spare one while the other is not washed.

3 but one is very faded and on my bed currently. I like to have 3 on rotation, so will replace it at some point in the next year.

B0D · 17/10/2025 20:12

3 for me, all plain and off/ white

3, same as above, my festive one is brushed cotton amd more wintery than only Christmas.

Edited

Same here.

BeretRaspberry · 17/10/2025 20:06

8 currently. 2 white Dorma. 2 summer pattern. 2 autumn pattern and 2 Christmas sets. 2 of each because I like to have one ready to put back on straightaway.

mondaytosunday · 17/10/2025 20:05

Three but I only use one now. I bought a coverless duvet for summer and just put a very cosy plush duvet cover on it in winter. My DD has four, two for summer, one autumnal one and a winter themed one (she has two single ones at uni). My son has two possibly more as they seem to get buried under his mountain of laundry (he doesn’t live with me).

Thehop · 17/10/2025 20:03

Each bed has 2 sets.

scaredfriend · 17/10/2025 20:03

Two. One on, one in the wash

Kitchenbattle · 17/10/2025 20:02

2 for myself and dps bed
3 each for the DCs beds

Dliplop · 17/10/2025 20:01

5 between two beds the same size

DysonLover1 · 17/10/2025 20:01

Had 4 duvet covers, all the same classic white M&S Autograph with 2 pillowcases each. Thrown one out, one is still new in the packet and 2 are being used. Wash one, and put the other on. Don’t need anymore than 2 on the go at one time.

Happyher · 17/10/2025 19:55

3 - 1 to use, 1 to wash and 1 spare

soupyspoon · 17/10/2025 19:55

I just chucked a load out so now Ive only got about 5 and I was eyeing up some new ones in Dunelm the other day. Had to walk away swiftly.

Apocketfilledwithposies · 17/10/2025 19:55

I have three sets, one of those is a Xmas set.

Where do you store them all?!

LuffyMe · 17/10/2025 19:54

Just the 2 here. One of which is lyocell which is lovely in the summer but a bit chilly initially in the colder weather.

For those of you who have brushed cotton ones do they feel nice and warm and cosy in the winter? I could definitely do with more of that (I do have a teddy bear topper which is good but I always feel cold)🥶

Yes, it does make a bit of a difference but get an electric blanket if you don't have one already, it will change your life (well, it'll change bedtime). And also get a duvet size up from your mattress size, we have a king size duvet on an ordinary double bed and it's delightful to have so much duvet!

I have a couple of duvet sets for spring/summer/autumn and a nice Christmassy one for winter.

teacupzs · 17/10/2025 19:53

About 5, all White Company. All plain white with a trim, edge etc.

Mokel · 17/10/2025 19:51

4 covers
Each cover set I have there are a pair of base pillowcases, another set of pillowcases of a contrasting colour and two sheets. Change the bedding weekly with the matching pillowcases used the first week. Duvet cover and base pillowcases are changed fortnightly

MonsterMunched · 17/10/2025 19:47

Loads. About eight normal and three Christmas?! Too many! Two of the kids use their tartan “festive” ones all year round. Three or four is plenty surely?

Belladog1 · 17/10/2025 19:46

I only have the one
