to want teenage boys bedlinen that is COTTON and not

[withagoat]

bloody union jacks or surfers.
not shitty cartoons either

what does your teen boy have on his bed

polycotton feels horrible and looks sort of dead on the bed I need to get out more!

I quite fancy that Mr Men bedset on the Marks site, for me I mean.

The graffitti and denim jeans ones are awful thats boak emotion not envy lol

Mine has stuff from Primark as he doesn't want any character stuff. Is polycotton, though. My thinking is that you have to iron cotton and it's much more expensive.

polycotton hardly better than 100% nylon imo

I don't iron bedsheets, cotton or no cotton.

I don't iron them either

I fail to see why polycotton is so dreadful> Nothing worse than crumply cotton sheets.

Our sheets are fitted and not crumply one night of warmth sleeping in them and they are smooth.The feel of cotton is just lovely polycotton always seems rough

Ikea does THE best selection of cotton bedding, for an extremely reasonable price without using ethically dubious practices.

I agree with someone above - just buy white sheets.

If you don't want white for some reason, M and S do (or used to last time I looked) a range of 100% cotton that is minimal iron (something to do with the weave). In plain colours

I raid John Lewis/bentalls every sale time for their 100% cotton bed stuff. It is the only sale I check thoroughly in advance and then order online or go in and browse and get loads of stuff. Is definitely worth it.

When you can buy 100% cotton double duvet sets in Ikea for 5 quid (reduced from 20 odd) as I did on Friday, why buy polycotton?

polycotton is sweaty and cheap looking, nowhere near as comfortable as pure cotton - altogether EWWW

Pure cotton is also better if you have any sort of skin complaint. I have eczema and polycotton aggravates it terribly.

TKMaxx can be really good for pure cotton bed linen. I've had some real bargains from there.

Oooh, the bed-linen snobs are out in force today. I was waiting for someone to mention thread-count.

DS has blue gingham cotton duvet covers. They came from Laura Ashley, who have sales on a lot.

These ones, although they are not in a sale at the moment:
