Who has time for seasonal bedsheets

[TY78910]

Absolutely not here to cause offence butttttt

Shops are filled with seasonal decor - I understand maybe a Christmas cushion or even a Halloween door mat but who has the time for seasonal bedsheets? Do you use them all year round? Who looks at your bed? I've seen Halloween ones, Xmas, even Easter. I just don't get it!

My summer bedding is a floral white quilt.

Not sure why you think people only use the bedding two weeks of the year?

Also who irons their bedding??? Sounds like you have too much time on your hands.

I'm kidding. See how that works though? People have different priorities. These things don't make you better than anyone else.

I do. I'm a single mom.

I make the time and the money.

I want a Christmas duvet set that's not brushed cotton. It doesn't seem to exist though.

How is this any different from your entire premise?

You take the time and money to decorate the outside of your house. I don't see how that is any different?

I don't do 'seasonal' as such but all winter long my teddy bear fleece bedding is on which is also wrong under MN law

More stuff to store

I actually do both as a single mom.

Maybe you're just lazy?

Obviously that's sarcasm but can people really not see how smug they sound over not having seasonal bedding? Lol

@allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld

you still take a set off & then make it up fresh. It's less time consuming than getting one set off, washed & dried in one day. & you're likely using a drier why I don't do, I line dry.

its used more than 2 weeks a year & my bedding probably lasts longer than yours, because its interspersed with other sets & not tumble dried weekly.

people aren't skint because they've bought duvet covers in Christmas print instead of beige 😂😂😂

No some of us are just more organised than others

it takes me no longer to change my bed whatever is on the cover.

i put offensive comments firmly in the category of written by nasty people'

Is anyone else amused by the fact that in Similar Threads there are two about bedding plants rather than sheets and duvet covers?

FWIW we only use white sheets.

Yes it does. Plenty of it.

Love it, and find I sleep better with it on. Soft and cosy.

I’ve found most of them are polycotton which I didn’t think I’d particularly like but I actually enjoy having ours on. We normally have thick, white, cotton the rest of the year which I don’t tumble dry and is a faff to dry in the winter. Using the autumn and Christmas polycotton stuff is a treat because it goes in the dryer and doesn’t crease!

Catherine Lansfield is quite a popular brand.

I have autumn and Christmas/winter(brushed cotton).
I’m using autumn now brushed cotton again. I use with my plain cotton bedding for 6 months of the year.
I also have autumn and Christmas pjs. Which again I wear for 6 months of the year.
I can’t see why anyone else would care! Nobody but DH and children see the upstairs of my house.
But my home is full of my stuff (clutter) but it makes me happy. Especially as winter is so long and miserable.

I would love to use white bedding but my DH (showers everyday) has a greasy head and I can’t keep the pillow cases white!

We have two pillows but only use the bottom ones to sleep on so they’re always hidden by the top one. My husband drools so sometimes it marks them and looks grubby. I find vanish for whites stuff is good. But you could also try rubbing some washing up liquid in the patches before washing as that’s good for grease.

Seasonal Bedding just means we put something warmer or cooler on!!

I have Christmas bedding that is on the beds from around about 18th December until 2nd/3rd Jan. Then it gets washed, ironed and put back in it's box under the bed.

I hear you, OP! I was in the Range on Sunday (DH was looking for waterproof spray for his favourite dog walking shoes) and I was amazed at how much stuff you could get for Christmas. Crazy!

I put brushed cotton sheets on the bed at the weekend, I hate cold sheets. Seasonal ones would not be something I did, although I do think some of the duvet covers are more summer than winter.

I do. I also have minimal bedding tho.
We have 2 normal sets that get rotated. They're pure white and I've had them at least 10 years and they're still like new. Then we have a Christmas set for December that goes on on 1st dec.

The kids also have 2 sets each for use through the year, plus a Xmas set that the elf "brings" on 1st dec. when they go to bed on 30th, I wait till they're asleep and then change it so they wake up to it in the morning 😁

It takes no effort and very little storage

People have them because of capitalism. The purpose is for corporations to sell more stuff, which can only be done by convincing people that something random like special Halloween bedding is necessary. Along the way they screw up your wallet and the planet.

In related news, I saw a carrot sharpener advertised today (like a pencil sharpener but larger and for vegetables).

I use my Halloween bedding all year. I have 2 sets. I use my Christmas bedding November and December

Orrrrr... crazy thought... people have them because they like and want them

I have seasonal bedding. Four for spring, four for summer, four for autumn and four for winter with three Christmas sets for that period. They're all stored seasonally in vacuum bags and once one season is over, they go away and the next bag comes out. It doesn't take any longer to change the bed because there are different patterns on the sheets. It makes me happy, so that's what I'll do.
