And (is it better to start a new thread on this forum or keep asking questions here?)... what about bedroom linens? I've searched a lot here and read that it's typical to have 3 sets of sheets per bed (just like some of you mentioned here). What about pillowcases?
It's typical here for a King bed to have two pillows, a bottom sheet (not usually fitted but we'll probably go with fitted anyway), and a duvet in a duvet cover. We probably want to add a flat sheet on the bed. The room usually has two additional pillows and a blanket or two in a cabinet or closet. Does that sound about right? So how many TOTAL do you need (pillowcases, duvet covers... and do you have spare pillows, duvets, or blankets?) if that's how many you have in the room at a time?
Thanks again!!!.
Usually it's better to ask separate questions in separate threads just so you can find the answers again later on!
We buy our sheets in sets- one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases. Then I buy an extra set of pillowcases for each sheet set. Sometimes it is necessary to change out pillowcases before I would change the sheets for guests staying multiple nights.
We also have duvets, but then have a blanket and a quilt with that. In the summer the duvet goes into storage and it's just the quilt & blanket on top.
Right now I have about 20 sets for 7 queen beds. I have 4 sets for the king bed and 9 sets for 2 twin beds (we used to have more twin beds).
I have 4 extra blankets. 16 extra pillow covers (that way I can change them out without having to wait for the old ones to go thru the wash).
The way I do the extra wash is to pick a time where there are not a lot of incoming guests and I wash the quilts. Next day I do as many of the blankets as there were beds used, following day the others and so on.
I also have backups for the mattress pads.
