To ask where I can buy nice bed linen that doesn’t require me to remortgage my house?!!

[PiratePetespajamas]

For reasons that are too boring and outing to enter into, I recently threw away most of my nice bed linen. Not that I had a whole load, but a couple of pretty sets from The White Company that I bought years ago.

I’m really struggling with their prices now though - even in the sale! Some of the double duvet covers cost over £200?!! The cheapest are around £80.

So where can I buy nice bed linen that doesn’t cost the earth? I’m after: white, 100% cotton, but something pretty- embroidered, or with a bit of trim, a bit of detail. Your suggestions please!

TK Maxx all the way.

TK Maxx or Dunelm

John Lewis

Laura Ashley if the sale is on or Dunelm.

Actually Sainsbury are pretty good; as are Debenhams and M&S.

H and m? Sleep and soak?

Soak and sleep it may be!

Soak and sleep are good and reasonably priced.

Oooh thank you. Keep ‘em coming! Can I really find decent stuff in TKMaxx? I never find anything nice in there! I think I must just be bad at shopping...

secret linen store (sale section!)

Tkmaxx has designer stuff but at severely reduced prices.

Just linens or linens limited.

TKMaxx. I got a lovely duvet cover and matching pillowcases there just recently, and my all-time favourite linen/cotton hand-printed duvet cover was from there too.

Dunelm. Loads of choice and excellent value for money.

Amazon believe it or not. All my bed linen is white, and you get some really decent sets on Amazon for great prices.

Another vote for Soak & Sleep.

Boundary Mill if you have one nearby.

Zara home and H&M both do lovely linen sheets and duvet covers

Next, the quality is good an so are the prices

TK Maxx and Homesense have some good stuff but equally have some of the nasty stuff that reeks of chemicals. Be sure you get a well known name if you shop there.

This is from Next, £40 for a double size set of duvet cover and two pillowcases.

We got a really pretty jersey set for DSDS room from Primark recently and DH is adamant that we need a set for our room ASAP as he went in there for a kip recently and said it was the best thing ever. It was £18 for a single set, including fitted sheet and seems great quality. Can’t argue with that.

TK Max have fancy stuff at good discounts, and Wilko is pretty good for every day. Don’t know if they still do them but I got 400 thread count fitted sheets there that are as good as my re expensive ones I’ve had in the past

Dunelm or the Range

Home Sense is the specific homewares arm of TK Maxx, and is usually even better, although my best ever score of Frette million count perfection came from TK Maxx.
