I know people that wash them and put them straight back on. Whereas I, have a cupboard full. Love buying new duvet sets, it changes the room.
Anyone do the same or is it just me? :o
-
I usually have three.
I couldn't rely on being able to put them back on as, especially in the winter, they may not be dry in time. I hardly ever use my tumble dryer.
I like white so I buy good quality one but with embossed patterns. I change for washing once a week.

Oh yes Littleminnie, I love new beddding...I have quite a few aswell.
I'm aways looking, where ever I go...
Ive bought some rubbish ones over the years, that look nice until you put them on, only to find they're rough and would take your skin off.
So that's a lesson learnt.
But yeah, love new bedding.........

I love bedding and towels and have an airing cupboard bursting at the seams. I always buy good quality as they look and feel nicer. I try to avoid duvet covers with plastic poppers as if you have to tumble dry them (which I try not to do) they lose shape and then don't pop together. I prefer the ones with buttons.

Ditched the duvet 25+ years ago because it made me too hot and caused constant sneezing through-out the night.
The idea is that 1 has a duvet each - so that the quilt wraps round the whole body individually, therefore using the body heat to keep warm. When we had 1 - it was being pulled back and forwards :D
I love buying towels, bubble bath, shampoo .......... ;D
-
I love buying towels too. Don't like cheap ones though, they wash like rags.
-
Towels are what I need....mine are getting a little bit crappy now....
Need to get some money off grumpy old banker first tho. I did say BANKER....😂🤣
-
Not even any good for wiping the dog down :D
-
Yes, they all end up for the dog.....she's got loads now......😆
-
Many years ago I put in our shop window the need for dog towels. Well they came home far better than what we were using in our bathroom ;D
Reminds me: when I used to change the duvet covers and the :catscratch: would be hidden inside; waiting; until I moved the covers ;D

You only have to shake our duvet, and our dog goes mad, thinks it's play time.
If she don't grab the corners and shake it, like it's a rag doll, she tramples all over it given the chance! 😂
-
We have three duvets sets two white and one pale cream which I alternate.
Have an airing cupboard full of towels but can't resist buying lovely fluffy towels.

I love new bedding too, if I won the lottery would have freshly made bed every night!!!
-
We have quite a few sets 🤫, have very neutral walls so I can buy whatever colour I'm on at the time.
-
;D ........ no problem here, our bed is 7ft wide ;)
-
We also have a super king size bed which is lovely but not every retailer stock super king size duvet sets which can be a pain the number of times I've seen lovely bedding but the largest size they stock is king size well I've lost count.

I keep 2 sets at any one time so one on and one off. Bought some lovely new ones 18 months ago when I got a new bed. Prefer a pattern to white. Got 2 different Scandinavian designs from John Lewis.
Re. Towels : Feel a bit guilty if I replace them too soon even though l like new ones. My Mum used to keep them for years! What do you do with old ones? Don't want to just throw them out.

Put them in a recycling bin locally (supermarket car park etc.), or take to a council recycling centre. Dog re-homing centres are also pleased to have them.
