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

I have about 10 AIBU?

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)🥶

2 and they are both white. Very boring but I love white bedding.

Three, which is an odd accident - only meant to buy two, but then realised that a king sized duvet cover that I purchased for the king sized duvet in the spare room is actually too big and only fits our super king duvet.

I kind of want to buy a fourth with a cheerful pattern. All my other bedding is white.

Between 4 beds that are all the same size we have 7 sets so 1 set on each bed, and 3 folded up ready to go, or actively being washed.

The guest bed gets changed after a guest has stayed so my least favourite set just stays on that one (it's just quite plain, I'm not being mean to the guests I swear). That set is rarely in wider circulation as it just gets washed and put straight back on.

I think I have 6-10.

2 light cotton summer ones
2 dark winter ones
4 in between ones for spring/autumn

Or something along those lines!

None, life is too short for duvet covers. I have a double coverless duvet I can shove in the washing machine and it's dry over the banister in 2 hours.
I stick a thick blanket over the top if its cold.

Homegrownberries · 17/10/2025 19:04

Just one. It's washed and back on the bed in the same day. I hate clutter.

Two!

Same, one on the bed and one washed for the next change.

I used to have more but had a big clear out of anything a bit tatty and actually it’s loads easier and less to store with just two sets per bed.

One on
One off
One in the wash
DM told me & I’ve stuck with it

Luckily I have a massive airing cupboard, since the hot water tank was removed and replaced with a combi boiler!

4

Between three beds the same size, five sets and a few extra pillowcases. It would never occur to me to have festive or Halloween bedding.

Ilovemyshed · 17/10/2025 18:56

3 and all the same

Buxusmortus · 17/10/2025 18:56

I have 7, I mostly use 4 of them because I like the designs the most and the quality of the cotton.
@Foronenightonlytonight I keep them in my airing cupboard, I've got lots of other duvet covers, about 20 sheets, about 20 hand towels, tea towels and bath towels in there too as well as about 10 duvets.

I've spotted a few halloween themed ones. So tempted but mustn't...

ShrimpyMcNeat · 17/10/2025 18:54

Three. But I really dislike 2 of them so we only use one 😂

The whole bedding set comes off, gets washed and tumbled then put back on within a few hours.

1 - a Christmas one.

I have cover-less duvets the rest of the year, or just a sheet in the summer.

Alittlefrustrated · 17/10/2025 18:53
  1. One has sat in the packet for about 6 year. Currently alternating 2 of them.

2 normal and 1 festive

Same here.

Cleanthecoffeemachine · 17/10/2025 18:53

4 : 2 thick brushed cotton ones for winter and 2 lighter ones for summer.

Bluevelvetsofa · 17/10/2025 18:52

I have six, plus a festive one. I usually stick to two or three though.

Nubbled · 17/10/2025 18:51

2, why would you need more?

Foronenightonlytonight · 17/10/2025 18:51

Two. Where the chuff would you keep more??(unless your kunen cupboard is ginormous!?)

TheDandyLion · 17/10/2025 18:51

2

newusernamex1000 · 17/10/2025 18:51

I think I have about 6?
