This question comes up so many times. I think it really depends on you. If you have got time (and good weather or tumble dryer), then one set will suffice. Take off the bedding, wash and dry it and it’s ready to go back on your bed the same day. However, with our busy lives these days, we don’t always have the time to wash and dry bedding and redress our beds on the same day. Many people have 2-3 sets of duvet covers and sheets, so one clean set is ready whilst one set is in the washing queue. When buying new bedding, for most of us bedding normally gets replaced when it is near the end of it’s life, a change of house or décor, or a change of bed size.
However, I was talking to a friend recently and she mentioned this great if indulgent ideas. My friend, Angela has 8 sets! She has two sets of duvet covers for her king size bed for each season. For summer bedding, she puts on bright colours with bold floral patterns, browns and greens for autumn (I think stripe patterns work best with these colours), and rich reds and golds for winter and Christmas. For spring Angela uses blue tone duvet covers in colours like teal and duck egg, or fresh white Egyptian cotton.
Great idea Angela – it takes bedding to a whole new level!
