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

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!

Debenhams - they have so many sales xxx

Janicejaniceahmfallin · 11/10/2019 21:45

Sign up to La Redoute and wait for a sale - lovely pure linen or cotton & they regularly take off 40-60%, you just have to hang on for a bit - they seem to have a sale every 5 minutes. And H&M. Good quality for the price.

TheHumanSatsuma · 11/10/2019 21:46

Definitely T K Maxx

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 11/10/2019 21:47

La Redoute for some great linen sheets.

Maltybiscuit · 11/10/2019 21:48

I like Bedeck

I have bought several sets of M&S bedding from a company that deals on Ebay. The packaging is wonky but the product is as it would be if bought from the store.
Attempt to link - don't know if this is allowed though!

John Lewis. I’ve just got a load of bedding this week at 20% off.

The offer has now finished but it’s def worth looking out for the discounts

bookwormsforever · 11/10/2019 21:50

Debenhams -lovely quality and they always have a sale on...

MilkLady02 · 11/10/2019 21:59

I’ve had some really nice (and reasonably priced) bedding from Dove Mill.

Also TK Maxx!

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 11/10/2019 22:06

Brand alley has some gorgeous bed linen at the moment. Dh has just worn his toenail through our oldest duvet cover so I think I'm going to treat myself us

kateandme · 11/10/2019 22:07

Asda.ikea.

RubyViolet · 11/10/2019 22:12

I would love Linen sheets and a duvet but l don’t have a tumble dryer. On the H&M home product description it suggests tumbling them to keep them soft.
So l suppose Linen is out for me when l think of how linen shirts feel after l have put them through the wash.

Fi1982 · 11/10/2019 22:21

Tesco Fox and Ivy do 100% cotton in all sizes, lots of plain white with some detailing. Definitely not £200 a pop!

Apileofballyhoo · 11/10/2019 22:25

I have a lovely set I was given as a present from IKEA. Have them for about 10 years and the cotton just gets softer and nicer. Lovely and crisp when washed. Also have a couple of sets from Debenhams that are fine but they aren't quite as good quality.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 11/10/2019 22:34

Theres a website which sells hotel quality linens off cheap. Either seconds or unwanted I think.

But hopefully another MNer knows the name because its vanished from my head!

Rosie2000 · 11/10/2019 22:41

Matalan- buy my 100% cotton bedding from there. Washes well and great quality. I also had to replace all my bed linen and I’m really happy with it.

Homesense

mummabubs · 11/10/2019 22:47

Believe it or not it was my husband who introduced me to good bedding--another vote for Dunelm (specifically Dorma bedding). So soft and comfortable it's honestly worth the cost. It does mean we only have 2 duvet sets but I swear I sleep better with the better quality covers!

Girlonatubetrain2 · 11/10/2019 22:48

I think Kings of cotton is the hotel quality linen one?

ChicCroissant · 11/10/2019 22:49

Dunelm is good, has all kinds of brands there.

Orchardgreen · 11/10/2019 22:51

King of Cotton supply hotels. It’s made in Portugal in the factory that supplies the White Company, but much cheaper.

Simonfromharlow · 11/10/2019 22:58

Bedeck

stucknoue · 11/10/2019 23:13

Mine are Aldi hotel collection, 400 thread count but you have to wait of course until they get them again

stucknoue · 11/10/2019 23:18

But need new ones ... fresh start now he's moved out! Just bought towels, I really want a bed!

UterusUterusGhali · 11/10/2019 23:38

TK Maxx and dunelm.
I’ve bought slowly but well. A piece here and there so I can justify a lot on a good cotton sheet etc.
Covers from TKMaxx and extra large good quality sheets from dunelm.
I’ve got stuff from White Co & JL but they have been disappointing
