I use one set at a time, winter and summer, but I have a couple of others I never use. One I sacrificed to the cat as a sofa slipcover this summer....

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I like having 3 sets of sheets: plush micro fiber for winter, 400 thread ct cotton for summer, and then a backup set that's also cotton for laundry issues. But then i was gifted my friend's old matress set for my guest room when they upgraded from double to queen and was also gifted ALL their sheets. At least 5 sets. Maybe more, i haven't fully investigated the box. They had a baby at the time and lots of laundry emergencies, so many backup sets. So now i have LOTS of spare sheets. Should prolly donate them soon, i have no use for that many sheets.
eta: and i have 3 different king size flat sheets for protecting furniture from cats. The cat sheets.

I was planning to buy sheets today, but haven't yet. I think it's time for food. And then maybe a massage. Or a movie. And I might buy a soda maker if I can find one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We have 2 sets of regular cotton sheets and 1 set of t-shirt material sheets. The t-shirt sheets tend to get used only in the summer, because they sort of "stick" to whatever one wears to bed, which means that rolling over results in a MASSIVE stealing of the sheets. In the summer, when one tends to sleep in less clothing, it's not a problem. Or, it's like the sheets ARE your jammies!

Good thing I sleep alone, because flannel sheets + flannel jammies means every time I roll over, all of the sheets come with me! It's like I'm a felt board.

Yeah, I have to choose between my flannel sheets or nightgown, because I hate feeling stuck in my own bedclothes.

Hence the t-shirt material sheets in the summer. (I get too cold in the winter and sleep in lots of clothes. Plus the heated mattress pad. My internal thermometer SUCKS.)

I would love to have a wardrobe of sheets. I also have expensive tastes in sheets and I'm cheap, so in actuality we have 1 set of percale and 1 of flannel per bed, with most of the beds having a backup older percale set that's mostly used in case of bodily fluid emergencies. The grownups have a queen, the kids each have a twin, and we have sheets for a double for our futon (which used to be our grownup bed.)
I adore really good quality sheets. I prefer Garnet Hill. I have become my mother.
