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!

I third La redoute when they have one of their sales on. It’s excellent quality and well designed. Better quality than my White company and JL stuff I would say.

Oh yes, La Redoute for different sizes and patterned pillowcases and kids stuff.
They do 100% cotton but interesting patterns.

Soak and Sleep. The End.

Another TKMaxx and Homesense vote

Argos

Ooh can’t believe I’m the first to say it! Hampton & Astley have gorgeous bedding, super soft cotton that washes great. They have 50% off sales every 2/3 months. There towels are also fantastic. Enjoy!

King of Cotton, all mine is from there. John Lewis is good too.

Dunelm, but only the Dorma range. The rest is tat

I’ve seen a few PPs say Bedeck. But I found it really shitty and cheap feeling. Dunelm Dorma is really lovely. Nicer than places likemJohn Lewis IMO. A lot of the duvet covers have zips, which we love

Go on Amazon India and search for Bombay Dyeing. A lot of the sellers will ship to the UK free and you will get White Company or Harrods ‘Quality’ for under a tenner.

Iv got a lovely set from Tesco home. Was £30 for a king size an it's lovely. Also the range is fairly cheap and Catherine lansfield is it? Iv had a few of them too xx

. Marking my place.

Thing is budgets differ as does quality. My bedding is so old but I'm skint and won't replace it until I find quality I can afford. I'm single so no hurry.
King size duvet though 😁

La Redoute do many pure cotton sets. Very reasonably priced particularly when they have the 40% off weeks

I got a king size duvet cover from £30 from TK Maxx - it was Designer Guild

I found Tielle after I had a glorious sleep in a smart hotel, and they told that is where they got their bed linen from:

Zara Home the bedding I have is made in Spain or Italy.

Dubelm lasts really well

Be careful buying overseas (Amazon India etc) - not everyone’s experience, I know, but I once bought a really lovely set of bed linen from India & it arrived with HMRC customs stickers all over it. By the time I paid the import duty I might as well have bought it here. And the quality really wasn’t great. Expensive mistake!

ASDa, genuinely Asda.
Cheap, lasts for years and great quality.

I've had some excellent 100% linen duvet sets from H&M

Another vote for Asda (George Online). You can check the cotton content of the different covers and they do have some that are 100% cotton. So nice and such good value. I would never spend more than £40 max on a duvet cover even if I could afford to, you can get such lovely ones for so much cheaper than that.

We bought three sets of the Aldi 400 thread count last year and they are superb. We have a super king bed and I think the duvet covers were around £50 or £60. They definitely had them in the special buys before Christmas last year.

Thanks Girl and Orchard - Kings of Cotton it was!

You lot are fab - so many great suggestions I’d never have known or thought of! That’s my weekend sorted! Thanks!
