How many sets of bedding do you have for each bed?

Just curious after reading on another topic that one poster said they didn’t have extras. Growing up we always had two or three per family member. Same now plus more sheets and pillow cases as their sets have worn out at different rates. Plus we have extras bought and ready as some sets are thinning. Boring topic really but curious as we have loads of towels too and my airing cupboard is very full when nothing is waiting to be washed.

3 sets each plus Christmas bedding.

2 sets for each bed at home, 3 sets of each at our holiday let.

I have one for each bed plus one. The extra set very very rarely makes it out. I normally strip, wash, dry and put back on the same day so the extra has been there in case of children related accidents/spills but since I no longer have small children, the extra set is mostly used for the inflatable bed when DS has a friend sleeping over.

I have two sets each per child in rotation with a spare one each in storage for emergencies.

Our bed we have two sets in rotation and a couple of spare old sets

I like to strip wash and replace same day but it just doesn’t happen now. Also as another poster said a few are seasonal and a few are from toddler days but they don’t object and until recently one set was actually saved from my preteen days but that’s been repurposed now. I went crazy buying towel sets in the sales when we moved here and now they’re wait their turn unless we have guests then the best towels appear.

We have quite a few sets, about 6 or 7 I think. We have different patterns and fabric weights for different times of the year. I like having a bit of a choice when I make the bed. We only have three bottom sheets though.
The kids have about 3 or 4 sets each.

About 5 sets of single bedding for the dc's beds and 5 sets of double bedding (in total, not each) for our bed and the guest bed. I use the double sets interchangeably for the guest bed and our bed, as the all go with the decor in both rooms.

We don't have specific bedding for specific beds, but we have 4 double beds and I reckon about 10 sets of linen.

One set for each bed here, a few extra pillow. I am a minimalist, so that’s all I keep. I do have ones that stay permanently in our caravan though if for some reason I get caught out with the same day washing and drying.

2 for superking bed (ours)
4 for king (guest bed)
2 toddler

used to have a double in the guest room and had 6 set. Got rid of 4 and kept 2 for sofa bed.

Two king sets for our bed. 3 king sets for another two rooms but about to get another (one DC has just come home from uni). Two sets for the 4ft bed which has a double duvet on it (plus the two extra sets DC brought home from uni, but they will take those again when they move on)
