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)🥶

Personally I think they're nicer to get into in the winter. id say they're 'less cold' rather than 'warmer' especially if you move around at night.

i thought teddy bear sheets/duvet would feel minging. But actually they're lovely & dry really quickly

I think I have about 8 sets for my bed. All get used.

Other beds all have their own. I don't 'share' between beds of the same size

Wallywobbles · 17/10/2025 21:53

3 really good quality ones.

I'm a bedding fiend and probably have twenty sets for my bed.

Same

I have nine in total 5 of one style and two each of the other two styles they are all ikea Discontinued styles so if I see more of them on Vinted etc I try to buy them . I also have about a dozen fitted sheets as there're a European King size which IKEA no longer stock i have stock piled as I love my bigger than average bed.

I’ve got that size Ikea bed that Ikea no longer stock the linens for. Really annoying!!

Household owns about 12 double duvet covers and 4 single ones. DS has single bed at home and 3/4 bed in uni halls. He has 2 covers with him at uni. We have 3 bed house with 2 double bedrooms. All bedding stores neatly in Ottoman in spare bedroom

Denim4ever · 17/10/2025 22:36

I'm perplexed by the idea that some have only one set of bedding. So basically, it means never changing your bedding as in one set off and another on.

Lovemycat2023 · 17/10/2025 22:41

We’ve got king sized duvets on both beds, even though the spare is a double bed, so there are 5 sets I think which can be used in either room. I do now regret not getting a king for the spare room too as finding the right fitted sheet is a pain.

No tumble dryer so we need at least some spares. I am now very tempted to buy a brushed cotton set, and have found a lovely one at Dunelm!

sweetpickle2 · 17/10/2025 22:45

2- so we can put a new one on when we wash the other. Spare rooms each have 2 sets as well.

10 is unhinged. So is 1- I need to put a new set on as soon as I take off the old, otherwise I forget until it’s bedtime and then the bed isn’t made (worst feeling ever).

RollerSkateLikePeggy · 17/10/2025 21:14

One here too. I would like to know how big some of your linen cupboards are, I'm picturing some Mitford Hons style cupboard!

same! I don’t even have a linen cupboard tbh. It all goes in a chest of drawers in the spare room.

PickledOnionOverdose · 17/10/2025 23:01

None - don't have any duvets, just blankets.

applemangoo · 17/10/2025 23:01

3/4

Greentreesx · 17/10/2025 23:02

2 one on one off.

LillyPJ · 17/10/2025 23:03

Three, but one of them doesn't really go with the colour on the walls so I don't use that one much.

My spare room has storage shelves all along one wall, I live alone so that gets used for stuff I buy on offer (toilet rolls, bleach, toothpaste, soap etc) plus towels and bedding

PleaseStopEatingMyStuff · 17/10/2025 23:07
  1. We have hardly any storage space. I wash, dry and put back on on the same day.
I'd LOVE a big linen cupboard tho!
nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 17/10/2025 23:23

Three. All pretty ancient.
One of them is currently covering my winter duvet all ready in the Attic (loft? 🤔) for a quick winter change.
Had brought it out a few weeks ago for a night, realised it wasn't cold enough yet and stuffed it back up there till Winter proper. ❄️

lazyarse123 · 17/10/2025 23:38

3 . 2 summer and 1 winter. One of each set has Highland cows on. Love a Highland cow.

Sub2Mumma · 17/10/2025 23:41

3 normal summer

2 pairs of curtains for the bedroom too that get swapped over at autumn and spring
