<p>This thread makes me smile. D still loves the comforter I made her when she was in preschool. It’s finally disolving (literally). </p>
<p>Gave S 2 sets of bedding, which he used for 2 years & then handed them down to D. She used them for 3 semesters & was happy to get new bedding when she got a bigger bed. Neither of them had more than one comforter–it would be a storage problem & not needed. Both did use mattress pad, multiple pillows & pillowcases (both like building a nest on their bed). D washed her sheets VERY infrequently (EEK), but fortunately doesn’t perspire much.</p>
<p>We still use some bedding that we bought on our honeymoon – 26 years ago (gets softer all the time & still no holes)! Heck, I still have & we sometimes use a pillowcase I got when I turned 16! The idea of tossing bedding is something I find difficult to do–it makes good rags & dropcloths.</p>
