Ironing bedding?

[Jadefeather7]

Do you iron your bedding, get it ironed or do you have crinkled sheets on your bed?
I have some pollycotton stuff which doesn’t crinkle too much. Thinking about getting pure cottonNow but I hate creased material!!

I never iron bedding. I don't care about creases

Life is too short to spend it flattening your sheets

I iron duvet covers and pillow cases because I like to. I don’t iron fitted sheets.

When I had pnd I was obsessed with cleaning and having everything in my house perfect, I would iron the bedding on the beds! I felt like it was the only thing I had control over. Now I couldn't give a shiney shite if my bedding has creases. I don't even make the beds anymore, just shake them out and fold the sheets down. Life is too short.

Never ironed it. I don't buy fancy stuff, but I've found drying it on the line or in the tumble dryer gets rid of any creases anyway.

Anything other than fleece bedding goes to the ironing lady

I never iron bedding. I deliberately buy poly cotton bedding so it's not really creased. I alsp hang it up immediately after the spin cycle finishes so it is even less creased.

Tumble dry and whip it out as soon as it's done, no need to iron. I've got a superking size bed, I don't even know where I'd start, it's hard enough changing the bloody thing.

I iron the duvet cover and pillow cases but not the sheets

I always iron bedding. I just don't want crumpled up sheets in the same way as I wouldn't wear unironed trousers, blouse, dress etc.

I love ironing so quilty I iron beddings everything towels, my knickers as well.

I too have an ironing lady, she comes to collect ironing and drops it back the next day. I only send out sheets and shirts, everything else doesn't get ironed.

I buy 100% cotton . 1 king size, 2 doubles and a cot. I change the beds weekly and iron it all. I have a steam generator iron which makes an immense difference but sometimes they do need a bit of starch too. I never tumble dry as apart from my environmental objections it makes them unmanageable.
I iron 6 large flat sheets weekly, 13 pillow cases, 3 large duvet covers and the cot sheets and duvet. Fortunately I quite like ironing!
I do have extra sets as the heavy cotton takes a long time to dry in the winter so it have spares.
I find The White Company is by far the best quality and lasts years longer than all the other brands I have ever tried.

I send mine to the ironing lady.
Superking size bed, also send DH's shirts.

What's an iron?

YABU to iron bedding. Pointless waste of time.

Yep, I iron my duvet cover and pillowcases. I rotate sets usually, but I wouldn’t bother to change the bed if I wasn’t putting fresh ironed sheets on the bed, I wouldn’t feel the benefit of getting into a crisp bed if it’s already crumpled.

Nope.

Tried it once, it was really hard. Never done it again.

No ironing here (though that will change when the kids go to juniors and wear shirts!).

God no!! Decrinkles as soon as on

Nah. I don't see the point - the fitted sheets don't have any creases once they're on, and even if the duvet cover and pillowcases were wrinkle free when I put them on, they wouldn't be once we'd been in bed 30 seconds!

They still feel nice and fresh when they're clean, regardless.

We never used to but then I realised how much I loved ironed sheets in hotels/when I stayed with friends who iron theirs. So now I send them out to be ironed (the only items we do). About 20 quid every couple of weeks and so worth it. Although DH doesn't care either way so I suppose it's down to personal preference how much it bothers you...

I would never have time to iron bedding, where do people get the time?

It definitely feels nicer if you iron it but does that warrant the effort?
Depends on how you dry it and how much time you have on your hands. At the very least I iron the pillow slips

I iron duvet covers and pillow cases as I think it looks neat. I wouldn't bother with a fitted sheet. I wash bedding once a week though and if am busy will iron the kids bedding and leave my own.
