Title says it all. How many pounds of shmurah hand matzah do I need for 6 adults to cover for both sedarim? I bought 2 lb so far but want to make sure I’m not wildly off… the shiur we’re using is 1/4-1/3 of a matzah.

Just sedarim? Your using something else for the other meals?
It sounds tight. How many adult men will need 3? By us all take 3. Teens take 2 for lechem Mishna.
I'd say at 4 lbs at least for 2 sedarim.

Oops I missed the part about only for sedatim. It's 2 lbs per person for all of pesach. Donno about sedarim. So disregard my post.

You don't need 2 pounds per person just for the Sedarim, but 2 pounds total sounds pretty tight. I'd get an additional 1-2 pounds (for 3-4 total) to be safe.
