Rotating clean house linen

I've always found it satisfying folding towels and bedding and stacking it neatly so you can see each edge.
When our DD1 was born at home, when I got up it looked liked there'd been a jumble sale! I recounted this to a friend and she said she always thought of me after that when putting linen away and I always thought of her too.
She died just a year ago after living successfully with kidney cancer for years.

Changing beds is exhausting ?

Yes I agree vacuum bags not all they are cracked up to be. I'm with Wot bin bags in the loft.
Clean bedding is a pleasure to use, even though retired I seem to have trouble finding enough time to bed change and do laundry.

You'll be surprised how much duvets will squash down, I have a feather King size and I fold it so its 3 thickness's then roll very tightly squashing all the air out have an old belt handy to put around it so it doesn't unroll then it goes easily into a bin bag and into the top shelf of my floor to ceiling wardrobe.

I have four double beds, one kingsize bed and three single beds - I have two enormous linen cupboards and several other places I stash towels and linens - so I'm not counting!
Actually I just gave away one of the single mattresses and the accompanying bed linen to a gentleman in need so I suppose technically I now have only two single beds until I replace the mattress.

yogagran. I use a ottoman as a linen box for extra bedding

I also put things in plastic under bed boxes with lids. I haven't got an airing cupboard unfortunately.

The vacuum bags are a big disappointment. I fold mine up, roll them and tie with string, put them in large white bin bags and label them. Then they go into my small, sloping roofed loft

What do you all do with your spare duvets? The summer one when you're using the winter one and vice versa. The vacuum bags never seem to hold he vacuum, there's no room under the beds so where do they go?

ahahah how the other half lives- rotating linen?!

All our beds are different sizes too- so do try to keep them in sets that go together- but ...

BB I'm an all white linen and towel person too. I like the idea of keeping sets in pillowcases, I'd never thought to do that, will give it a go. I love clean bedding and would change it every day if I had the energy!

harrigran andgrandMattie where do you keep it all? I've nowhere near as much linen as you and my airing cupboard's overflowing!

I am an all white person too. Both bed linen and towels. Towels are rolled up in sets on the middle shelf in the airing cupboard. Each set of bed linen is folded into one of the pillow cases on the top shelf. I love my bolster pillows which I bought from Toast with their ticking covers.
A clean, sweet smelling , newly made bed is a joy to get into.

For bed linen I always wash and put on the bed that day, then the "dirty" stuff goes into the basket for the next bed change day ... I love the fresh smell and even better if it's been dried outside!

We changed to single duvets last year (husband swelters under 11.5 togs while I use 4.5) and we now have 3 sets of duvet covers. Probably half a dozen king size though but I'll hang on to them in case I revert back to higher togs.

I have three sets of bed linen for our bed and two for the spare beds. I rotate the three sets (and three sets of towels) but I've never noticed then wearing out all at once, probably because I haven't bought them all at once,. I've just bought things when I see soemthing I like.

My oldest duvet set is getting on for 15yrs old and is now beautifully soft but also very thin. I shall be sad when it's not longer fit for purpose.

Oh why haven't we got a smug face emoticon? ?

Ha, ha, me too grannylyn65! Although it does start off folded...

I just chuck everything in a heap! Live alone, who cares!

I have all white sheets too some brushed cotton they go with my white cotton Summer duvets and also with the Winter coloured duvets also brushed cotton. (OH insists on brushed cotton in the Winter) I do rotate them likewise my towel sets I have 4 sets in different colours and use them in rotation too but as some are older than others they get replaced as they wear out.
I love my airing cupboard and when my 'lodger/daughter' moves out of my spare room next week I'll be able to once again stack all my linen back in the airing cupboard which at present is filled to bursting with her 'stuff'.

High thread count seems to wear out very fast.
The 7 pairs of sheets are for my own bed... I have 6 double duvet covers and matching sheets and pillow cases and four pairs of single duvet covers too for the spare beds. Got 6 double duvets of various togs and feather or poly-filling, ditto single duvets. As for pillows...Told you I was a bedding junkie!
The musty smell wouldn't work if kept in an airing cupboard, but these days with these -rubbish- fancy boilers and no hot water tank, an airing cupboard is no more. I SO miss mine

I joined the plain white bed linen 'brigade' a few years ago, so sheets go with whichever duvet cover and pillowcases I choose. I stick to very high thread count cotton, and have five sheets and four duvet covers for each bed. It's probably best if I don't start counting the towels and tea towels, they're both definitely in the 'dozens'!

If I didn't rotate my bedding and towels, including g tea towels, I feel they might get musty.

Set me off thinking about bed linen and went to count it, ten duvet covers and at least twenty sheets, and yes they get rotated. Thirty two towels in bathroom cupboard well they never seem to wear out.

I always rotate my bedding and towels. My airing cupboard has neat piles of beautifully folded linen ,(three sets) all thanks to my mum! She worked in a laundry when she was young and was taught how to iron and look after clothes and linens.

3 sets for each bed One on ,one in wash and one spare in case of accidents.I am always amazed (envious) that people have white bedlinen .Especially if they share with a DH or D (male) P
