What, are there really people out there that just have 1 set?!

And have to wash and dry it in 1day?!

… do you not typically dry your laundry directly after washing it?

Of course, but this will probably be down to where we live....

In UK, tumble driers aren't anywhere near as common as US for example. And weather isn't warm (dry) enough to reliably dry everyday.

Trying to dry a super king bed set in doors.... Sucks!

Ohhhh, I see. If I had to hang dry my sheets, I can see how it could take longer! Haha

same here, Italy, no dryer in sight, you have to hang all the laundry, and if have to do it indoor (because rain or whatever) it takes at the very least one day.
We have probably 4 sets of bedsheets, different colors, so its nice to change every week or so instead of it always being the same (also mixing and matching, like the brown fitted sheet with the blue top one, and so on)

Sure, why not? pop it in the washer and then a few hours later you pop it in the dryer. I don't see the problem.

I did just unpack my other set though. It's been the kind of temperature where it's too warm for a duvet and too cold for just a sheet, so now I have both and I can grab the other when I'm cold/warm.

You don't have the multi season duvet set either? Comes as 2, 1 thin, 1 med, use together to make thick.

So I use thin in summer, med in autumn, both in winter.

I have more than one but I also have a dust mite allergy, so it actually works best if I just put the freshly washed ones back on.

My parents did this for like, 25 years. They lived in a really hot place so the sheets dried very quickly outside but I don't know how they did it for so long. I had that 'oh crap, my sheets are still on the line' realisation when I went to hop into bed maybe twice before I decided no way, never again. They definitely had enough money to buy a second set so I just don't know why they didn't do it earlier.
