Bedding

[PineappleBun]

I don't like sharing my bed sheets or duvet / duvet cover with guests. Every time when my in laws came to visit, I would only put the sheets and duvets for guests in the guest bedroom. When my hubby try to put 'my' sheets in the guest bedroom I would stop him. He thinks I am too fussy as they will be washed anyway. Am I ?

Nah, I agree with you.

I got our spare duvet out recently when I was ill and it smelt funny.

If they're washed in between YABU, I wouldn't give guests bed linen I'd slept in and not washed, and I'd strip the bed and wash the linen after guests had left but it doesn't matter which sets you use, unless like me you like things to coordinate and my sheets wouldn't look right in the guest rooms, different colour schemes, but that's another issue

I wouldn't want My sheets used for guests either. We have spare sets only used occasionally for visitor

Not sure why you'd me more concerned with colour??

The guest beds are made up with fresh linen in both our guest rooms all the time, I don't wait for guests to arrive and then make up beds, so I like the linen to coordinate with the room decor. The linen sets I have for our room are the wrong colour and pattern to go in either of the guest rooms (and the wrong size, ours is super king the guests are both doubles) , but I'd have no issue on a hygiene basis, it's only sheets and duvet covers, what do you think happens in hotels? It's laundered and reused. When guests stay they sleep in the already made up guest rooms, when they leave I launder the linens and either put them back on our use the other set and put the just washed set in the airing cupboard, I have two sets for each room.

But why? This doesn’t make sense to me. They’re washed between uses, how is this different to people sitting on sofa cushions (which aren’t washed)?

We just have white cotton everything, not separate ‘guest’ bedding. But it gets washed in between, wouldn’t give a guest slept in bedding or sleep in a guest’s unwashed bedding. And I do boil wash bed linen; it quite often gets breastmilk/baby wee on.

It’s all washed in between people! And these are people that you like enough to have them to stay!

YABU

When we had a spare bed we had separate quilt, pillows and bedding for it. Would not use our own bedding. Don't know why tbh, just wouldn't.
Nevertheless we don't have it anymore as we've moved house, so no longer an issue. (Though we've never used what was the spare bed bedding on our bed either...)

I'm the same

I'm the same. Nice to know I'm not alone!

Recently had to wash all the towels the morning our guests arrived as we were on the B list towel rota and I can't let guests use the A list towels.

I go one step further and don't have guests

I get it, do understand PP about it being washed in between but I wouldn't want to share a t shirt with a guest even if it was washed in between uses..

Now I'm wondering if I'm BU

We have five beds and they're all different sizes bloody Ikea and their bed size U-turn so each bed has its own bedding. But if all the beds were the same size I wouldn't mind mixing and matching. I only buy linen I actually like. Also I only invite overnight guests I actually like. (Was that harsh? I don't mean it to be harsh. Maybe I don't understand the issue.)

Is this for real?
