How many duvet covers?

[FannyCradocksDoughnut]

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

I have about 10 AIBU?

I have 4 for my bed and many single ones and 2 doubles for guest bed

I have two I like and actually use, then I have 5 quite washed out ones that match the colour scheme of the bedroom from previous houses I've lived in. These exist solely to take up cupboard space because I'd feel guilty getting rid of something that is still usable.

3 - similar principle to ‘wash, wear and spare’. The spare bed has its own 3 sets.

Quite surprised by the number of people with loads! Where do you keep it all?!

We just have two sets for our bed - one 100% linen and one 100% cotton. Ideally I’d like another 100% linen set but they’re so expensive, I’m waiting for a good sale.

Three, although one of them is kind of an understudy

Far too many. I love seasonal bedding so I have spring/summer/autumn/winter ones in seasonal colours and then festive ones for Easter/Halloween/Christmas. I've probably got over 20 sets. The Dunelm sale gets me every time.

Note to self: don't buy any more.

I have 3

I also buy far too many duvet sets. Currently we are alternating 3 summer ones, 2 brushed cotton ones for winter either side of Christmas and 2 festive ones for Christmas time.

I also have random ones that I should probably get rid of that aren’t really used anymore

Same for my kids beds. Christmas ones get stored with the Christmas tree etc. and the others are stored in bedding bags under the beds when they aren’t being used. Don’t have a linen cupboard anymore. We had to convert our loft and lost it to make the stairs up there. I don’t think they really take up much space

I only have the one

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

Where do you store them all?!

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.

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

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.

5 between two beds the same size

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

Two. One on, one in the wash

Each bed has 2 sets.

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).

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.

Same here.
