Duvet covers of the 80’s

[Offredismysister]

Just looking at my dog sleeping on his bed & I'm reminded of the ‘snatch’ duvet cover I had in the 80’s.
Which then made me remember the cartoon worzel gummidge & aunt sally one I had.
The pillowslip had worzel one side & aunt sally the other. Sadly I can’t find a pic of it, did anyone else have it?
I also had a Victoria Plum one with matching curtains as a small child.

Any other classics I’ve missed?

Yellow and grey

or red and grey

Geometric patterns. They were the bees knees!

I got my first duvet and cover (white with pastel blue-green-pink flecks, very 80s) from Guiney’s in Dublin and very proud I was, too.
DSis had the Edwardian Lady pottery.

I love that wallpaper, reminds me I also had a toadstool fairy lamp.

90s but polly pocket :-)

I had that exact pillowcase, we had another wombles one too. I had completely forgotten all about it until I saw that picture

Oh no! I loved mine and have very fond memories of my Pierrot childhood bedroom, sorry you were traumatised by yours 😢 @OnTheBoardwalk

I had this Sarah Kay set when I was a child in the 80s. I loved that duvet cover 💕

I had a peach coloured Garfield one, and before that a Holly Hobby. My brother had Playboy at one point, he was too young to understand what it meant, and my mum claims not to have known (think she got it in the sale at M&S). Before that, I think he had the Paddington one that someone posted.

I loved my Garfield one and kept it for years, think I just got rid of it about a year ago as realised it was never going to be used again.

@Bitterbean @takingmytimeonmyride my 9yo is also currently in bed with this design on their pillowcase!

This is my favourite thread in ages. I had Marilyn Monroe, Garfield, and possibly a Sarah Kay one.

My best friend had the Pierrot from upthread. Real nostalgia.

80s to 90s, I had a Noah's ark one and my DB and I had matching blue covers with a cartoon bear's body on one side and stripes with lots of little teddy bears on the other. The pillow was the bear's face, one side awake and the other sleeping.

And big sort of dusty pink blankets under the sheet and over the quilt in winter.

When we moved house I had an ikea set and my cartoon-y flowers wallpaper and border were used in a flat in coronation street!

@woodhill we had the Sanderson hippos too - reversible with a big picture on one side and repeating pattern on the other. My mum will still have them I’m sure!

Thank you for this thread- lovely memories!!

I might start one on 80’s/90’s toys.
Big Yellow Teapot anyone!

Anyone remember this one

I had purple Groovy Chick bedding. Probably 1997-
Loved it.

@AreolaGrande I had the exact same set as your red one, but in navy blue!

Anyone asking about the candy stripe bedding, you can still get it online, I bought some a few years ago in brushed cotton for the winter. Quality wasn’t up to much but was great for the nostalgia factor 😎

Glow worms sleeping bag that glowed in the dark

Candy Stripe bedding on Amazon

Timmy mallet in a small child's bed ? Absolutely wouldn't be allowed in this day and age.

I had Rainbow Brite and matching Rainbow Brite wallpaper.

love that

Flashback! I remember having this also! Obviously once I'd grown out of Paddington and Victoria Plum.

@maddiemookins16mum I have that same pillowcase still and others which are very similar!

Yes, my daughters used it as well
