Holy moly...great thoughts! Thanks for the feedback jgj.
Most people I've talked to about this in the past few hours have more than two pillows. Turns out I'm the only sucker with not enough pillows :).

The site shows $80/month as the rate for King sheets, and I'd need 2 extra pillowcases as well.
My cleaners will change and wash sheets as part of their visit, which is less than $80/wk (yes, I'm comparing monthly and weekly pricing, I know).
$80/month is $20/week. In most areas you could find a service that would clean AND change the sheets for you for similar rates.
I can find decent quality king-sized sheets on Amazon for $20-$25 (and free shipping with Prime). It's essentially the same price to throw out my sheets every week and replace them with new ones (in reality, I'd wash them first of course, but washing sheets is not THAT much of a hassle)
IMO, the pricing for this would have to be much lower, like $10/month, to make it a cost effective service.

Thank you for the detailed thoughts. That's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to help :).
I think this is a compelling idea for people with boarders or who rent out their place through something like air-bnb. Or perhaps it is something that "helicopter parents" might opt for their child in a college dorm.
Other than that, if you're going to spend that much on sheets, you might as well spring for quadruple that for a bi-weekly maid to come in to do all the laundry as well as a thorough general cleaning.

You might want to also consider adding in fresh pillows as an add-on, as really nice pillows can be costly and having the pillows themselves be constantly washed and fluffed would be nice.
Cool idea though, cheers.
