I feel called out
post
I have summer and winter sheets, but why would you need 2 of the same sheet? It doesn't take 24 hours to wash and dry bedsheets.
I like having a spare because I can quickly change the sheet whenever, throw the dirty one into the laundry machine, and deal with it tomorrow. I don't have to start the wash/dry cycle in the morning, I can do it whenever I feel like it. It facilitates my laziness.

Lol, must be nice
Plus that person's forgetting you need to minus the time of one of the sleeps
Meh. A washer dryer combo with a 60C express wash is a bit over an hour and if there's only a set of sheets and duvet covers in the dryer (and they're cotton not synthetic so you can run it on hot), the drying doesn't take much longer.
So easily under 4 hours, I'd say.
And there's even a 15 min express express wash. That and just the sheet and duvet cover in the dryer and you're looking at less than 2 hours I'd say.
I'm not a wealthy person, but I am lazy, so I invested in tower combo when I moved here as I'd prolly never wash anything otherwise. Or I would, but then I couldn't be arsed to hang it to dry.
Plus if you have a second set of sheets then you need space to store them.
When I take out the trash I put the new liner in before I leave the room. When I wash sheets I put the new set on before I leave the room. Motivation is a fickle and fleeting thing.
Yes, but wanting to sleep on sheets is rather motivating
This can have the other effect: instead of making you want to get the sheets ready quickly, you might just not do it at all 🫠
Thankfully I'm not a heathen that's willing to sleep on a bare mattress. To me, that's almost as bad as wet socks or soggy food sticking to your hand while washing dishes
Haha, I meant not willing to wash it in the first place so that you still have sheets on the mattress (just, you know, old ones :P)
I duuno, I've raw dogged the mattress out of laziness many times. Now my wife handles it all. (And before you call me sexist, I actually get in trouble for doing "women's work". Cultural thing, but she's come around a bit.)
That's a dangerous game. More than once I spent a week sleeping on the couch because I forgot to finish drying my sheets on Sunday.
I've been meaning to buy a second set but keep forgetting.
When in school I would use one set for a semester, throw them out, and buy a new set.
