Not outrageously priced but great quality bedding?

Posting for traffic! You lovely mumsnet lot seem to always be in the know with these things!

Me and DH would like to treat ourselves to some new bedding.We want to buy a new 6ft duvet and also some lovely great quality bedding to go on it, that can preferably be tumble dried (but will settle without it). What sites are worth checking out? Any good sales on? I haven't shopped for this in years so would appreciate any suggestions!

We have soak & sleep. Lovely, washes well.

John Lewis own are nice

Baital · 28/12/2024 23:08

Still happy with my John Lewis down duvet of 20+ years ago.

And M&S 100% cotton bedlinen. Have to replace the fitted sheets at 3-4 years when they wore through, but the pillow cases and duvet cover have lasted 7 years now and are still in good shape and feel great.

Need one also

SocksAndTheCity · 28/12/2024 22:59

I bought a couple of 100% linen sets from H&M of all places about five years ago in the sales, and it still looks great (and it gets used a lot). Highly recommend Smile

Bedeck.

Renthorrorshow · 28/12/2024 22:39

Just Linen website is worth a look for bargains on expensive bedding

LittleBigHead · 28/12/2024 22:37

I only buy cotton or linen. No polyester.

For cheap but lovely try La Redoute. They have some nice cotton linen mixes.

I've always been very pleased with Dorma bedding which is now sold in Dunelm.

Another vote for the Dorma range - one of our sets is over 10 years old and still washing/wearing well (unlike come more expensive sets we've had). Feels lovely and silky.

WTFWilma · 28/12/2024 22:32

Soak & Sleep French linen bedding is lovely, as is (the more expensive) Piglet in Bed.

ThisOldThang · 28/12/2024 22:30

I had the same quandary. I had a think and came to the conclusion that hotels have nice linen, so a hotel supplier would be a good place to start.

We have this and it's very nice.

Agree with Secret Linen Co. Wonderful products that wash beautifully and really last.

Northernbrightlights · 28/12/2024 22:23

Belledorm, Homescapes (brilliant for sheets), Bedeck. I'd avoid Soak and Sleep, awful customer service and duvet cover looked like rags after a few washes.

For a duvet, I'd recommend Devon Duvets. They're 20% off at the moment and are hand sewn in the UK, using British wool. Ours will outlast us!

HellsBells67 · 28/12/2024 22:23

I;ve had a Yves Delorme set for 21 years and still going strong, feels fantastic to sleep on, smooth and cool.

Otherwise, I buy White Company high thread counts. Wasted a lot of money on 1000 thread count from Dunelm, but it was a branded name I forget. Actually had to get up in the middle of the night and take them off, they were making me itch.

mitogoshigg · 28/12/2024 22:02

Dunelm is your best bet to start with as you can see it in person

Cherry8809 · 28/12/2024 22:00

White Company, Yves Delorme or Amalia.

Yes after buying a wool room duvet I could never sleep under anything else. They are so comfy!

Show quote history

That's so interesting. I bought a wool duvet based on MN recommendations and I hate it - it looks and feels thin and meagre. It doesn't have the snuggly, marshmallowy cosiness of normal duvets - it feels and looks very austere.

It's a weird size (not quite king) so always goes baggy in the duvet cover.

It was a few hundred quid so I don't feel I can get rid just yet because it's technically functional 😒

Edited to actually answer the OP - Dorma from Dunelm. My M&A stuff is still going well after I had it as a present about 10 years ago!
Avoid Bambo Panda - thin and messy, says it shrinks to size after a couple of washes but that's bollocks

MoetUndChandon · 28/12/2024 21:44

I like Piglet's 100% linen

Newname71 · 28/12/2024 21:43

I’ve bought a lot of bedding sets over the years. My 2 favourites are from Dunelm. Both are velvet and wash really well

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/12/2024 21:42

I haven't seen any Sainsbury homeware in our local store , just Habitat .

My DS has a duvet cover/pillowcase set that is polycotton but really good quality and still looks good years later .

Hannahthepink · 28/12/2024 21:41

I really rate Belledorm for sheets, their 400 or 600tc Egyptian cotton is what I use on all my beds.
I love Sheridan duvet covers, also Christy, and I've also had some really nice ones from Dusk (much better quality than I was expecting) and some beautiful ones from Liberty (in the sale).
Dorma in Dunelm is manufactured for Dunelm with the Dorma name plonked on the front. It bears no relation to the beautiful quality bed linen that Dorma made for our parents' beds! Same goes for Fogarty in Dunelm. Sanderson is another previously good name that is now just produced under licence.

MyLovelyLily · 28/12/2024 20:33

Sainsbury's 100% cotton

HorrorFan81 · 28/12/2024 20:28

I like The White Company and Hampton & Astley

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/12/2024 20:26

Many years ago I bought Egyptian Cotton bedding from Costco that was lovely , it is thick and satiny without being shiney .
It is meant to be a bit rumpled ( we went on holiday to Egypt 30 years ago and even in 5* hotels it looked a bit rumpled )

Don't know if they still sell it , I think they;ve moved onto bamboo

Dunelm Concious Choice 100% cotton at the moment , loads of colours
