Floof! Bedding!
How many "sets" of bedding do you have? And how often do you change them? I have 2 "everyday" sets. One pink one blue. Sheets, pillowcases, comforters. I wash them weekly and I like to be able to strip the bed and just put a new set on immediately, rather than wait for them to be dry, which takes forever for the comforter. Also, my poor SO. He is so tolerant of all the pink everywhere, I got him a blue set for a break. He has often commented, though never complained, about all the pink. I took the hint.
That's for everyday, "normal" times of the year.
I also have one set for October/Halloween. One for November/Thanksgiving, and of course, a couple different ones for December/Christmas. I have some Valentine sheets, no blanket though, and some Easter sheets as well. All the holiday sheets are Peanuts themed, for the appropriate holiday. Of course, some people think I may be a little "off" for having a giant cartoon turkey blanket, or a creepy pumpkin one, on my bed. But let me tell you, first, they are fluffy and comfy, and two, I cannot be the only one who like that sort of thing, or else they would not be selling it now would they?!?!?!?? And it could be argued that that sort of things are for kiddies, but how many kiddies have king size beds to outfit?
So how many do you have? Do you have special holiday ones or just everyday? I know some people like to change their sheets daily so they must have a LOT, unless they choose to do laundry everyday. Truthfully, I would like that but just do not have the time.

These are the comforters I rotate on our bed. These are just photos from amazon, where I bought them.
Considering doing a seasonal thing huh? Allow me to inspire you! :
This is my Halloween.

This is the one that goes on in November....

This is one of my Christmas ones. I have another with a snow scene with happy snowmen all across the bottom but I cannot find a picture of it.

This is where i got all my holiday sheets from, except the valentines ones, which I found on eBay. So cute!!- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years ago
I can't stop thinking about it. If, and when my child comes home for Christmas, or any other holiday, totally changing the bedding to holiday themed. I change my dishes and decorations, so why not? That is so much fun!

Here's one I just bought back in January. I just could not NOT get it! Can't wait to use it!- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years ago
Our bedroom has a Scandinavian teak queen platform bed, so no bedskirt, and bedspreads are too large so we use a duvet. I have solid duvet covers in neutral tones, grey or beige, with some texture. We have 2 Australian Shepherds who sleep with us, on and off the bed all.night.long. I have some sheets with patterns and those change with the seasons. I'm not really into pastels, though. I have some pretty floral sheets for spring and summer. A nice warm flannel set with penguins from Land's End with a cream background. The only ones I can find photos of are a winter set from Pottery Barn that has gnomes (which I love). Since everything else about the room is fairly neutral and not fussy, DH doesn't mind the whimiscal sheets.

I should change out my bedding more! I do wash the sheets and put them right back on the bed. but the holiday thing? I’d want to find seasonal bedding that matches, and then I’d had to store linens, and remember to change them out, and....but, my current comforter cover is wearing out, the pattern no longer made (Laura Ashley), and I love it, and the wall color was selected for it. I can’t handle another search!
However, I could do it for that Christmas tree comforter! Swoon!

I have too many sets of sheets even after letting some go in the last move. I like to change them weekly at least. Pillow cases may get changed twice per week. Since I don’t always want to iron, but like the pillow cases and top sheet to be ironed, I often put a different set on the bed from the one in the wash. And, the pillow cases may coordinate, but not match, the sheets because I use queen sheets and king pillow cases.
I’m on the fence about holiday themed sheets/bedding. I used to change the whole scheme each summer, autumn, winter and holiday, but I didn’t last year because the house was in remodel disarray. As I get less physically able, I may give up seasonal changes because it’s too hard to get the next season out of the closet storage. I’ll see how it goes this year before making a final decision.
Pottery Barn (or PB on eBay) is my go-to source for bedding. I always check PB Teen and PotteryBarnKids, too, because they carry queen and sometimes have much cuter sheets.

I am down to three duvet covers and three sets of sheets for the primary room. Two for other rooms that are used.

One set for each bed. I now only have two beds in the house. Mine is off white with a beige leaf pattern. They must not sell it anymore because it's not on their website. Sheete are off white stripes.

I live alone in a one bedroom house with one bed, full/double, not queen or king. I have three sets of linen sheets that I rotate. I use blankets, wool in winter/cotton in summer. In winter I use a bedspread that I crocheted in ivory cotton years ago from a 1930s pattern. In summer I change to a very light white cotton spread. For additional warmth in winter I have my choice of lovely hand knitted or crocheted afghans--all wool-- made by either my grandmother some 60 years ago or by me slightly more recently. I have a beautiful white silk/cotton coverlet for extra summer warmth.
The bedskirt is crochet look (machine done and purchased some years ago). I don't change that.

When I lived alone, I had one set of sheets and put them right back on the bed after washing. My topsheet was a "silk" sheet that was actually a knit jersey material. I bought it when I was in college. (I remember it cost me $14. I only bought the "silk" topsheet because I couldn't afford the bottom one, too.) I used it until it started to disintegrate and then just bought a big piece of the similar fabric, which I used as a sheet for a few more years. I had a loft bed, 6 1/2 feet high and I never bothered to make the bed because you couldn't see it anyway. My husband likes regular cotton sheets, so that's what we have now. I think there may be four sets but it's always the same two in rotation.

All our bedding is white cotton: sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers. So are our towels, table cloths and napkins. No fitted sheets and no skirts. All interchangeable for all the beds in the house. We don't do "themes" or seasons.

Our Master Bedroom has a cream colored matelasse comforter and a slightly darker bedskirt. Cream colored because i wanted the focus to rather be on our wall of windows with such a great view of our mountains. And, our art in there. So, just that one set.


One guest room has a fold out sofa bed. I do have a comforter for that one that works well with the curtains in there. Just that one.
I’ve decorated the other guest room and bathroom in a Western theme. That queen bed has a light brown thin matelasse comforter that washes easily after each guest leaves. Just that one set for in there. Again, my focus was on the art and the mountain views.
Oh, and look at the new lamp I just got for in there! I love it!

Oh, but I did want to say how much I love all of your holiday and seasonal sets, Amylou. So festive and happy!

I have three beds(the fourth bedroom is a library). In the bedroom with the fireplace, I have a 160 year old high poster bed. It's a double since that's all they had back then. I literally have to climb on it. I have various blue and white cotton ticking sheet sets. The other front bedroom is never used and has an antique single ornate iron bed . The back bedroom with the huge greenhouse window has another antique rope bed and again with the same theme colors...blue and white ticking. No holiday sheet sets.

@LynnNM....What kind of rug is that with the tree border? Does it have history? The moose lamp is AWESOME!

I forgot to mention, we have Cuddl Duds fleece sheets on the beds in Winter. One set has snow flakes.


The edges of the duvet and pillows have a crocheted edging in sage. US.DUSK.com

My hat is off to those of you who mix up their bedding. I love seasonal stuff but I dont do it. I am just too old or lazy. I can enjoy reading here though. Thanks for the inspiration.

@Nicole: Our home here has brick floors throughout, so over the years we’ve bought quite a number of rugs to “soften them up”. i can’t recall where we bought that one. Most likely at one of the MANY art and craft shows either in Santa Fe or Albuquerque, at least twenty years ago.
