wanted - single duvet cover that is SOFT ( teenager)

[GretaWolfcastle]

after years his soft cotton one is giving up the ghost - will he surrender it? NO WAY
So many are scratchy. he wants a soft cotton or maybe even jersey one, in theory in monochrome patterns

this is a long shot, isnt it?

You can get ones made of t-shirty material, that would work, wouldn't it? You get them everywhere - John Lewis, Sainsbury's etc. Often they're the 'bed in the bag' type things...

eg this

hi Hazel - yes i saw that, but its a bit prison like

Boys are bloody weird

he had this kind of thing before, that after years of washing is soft as you like

Oh I hope someone comes along with a magic suggestion. I have the same issue I'm so sensitive!

That was just an example... Surely this is the type of thing you gte in most places (the tshirty type thing).

Not sure how you replicate the softness of well-worn/washed 100% cotton - you can either go jersey, but that does bobble, or flannel. But both are pretty ubiquitous. Does he want a pattern or a plain ?

My ds1 age 14 is just the same! He can't stand the cheaper scratchy ones. Second hand well washed sets are often ok.

sorry Hazel - didnt mean to sound shirty.

Snigger at second hand - there might be a business enterprise there, " we wash duvet covers then sell them to you"

Ach Greta you didn't sound shirty, I jsut meant that there were loads more...!

2nd hand - pre-worn like a vintage jean - is a thought. Would that be acceptable to the teen ?

my son likes the soft silky stuff and has this one:

but in a different colour that they dont seem to do at the moment.

Debenhams often have brushed cotton ones, very lovely and soft.

good tip - other son has IKEA and its been pretty scratchy

ta panda

plain

He has another IKEA one (a cheaper one) and it is scratchy, the one I linked to is silky soft without the overly warmness of a brushed cotton - my teens always seem to be hot.

oh I see - yes I wil look out for them

the red looks nice too from Next

QVC do a brand called cozee home , they are a fleece material - very soft .

I have a flannel sheet and pillow cases from dunhelm mill which are v soft

BHS check brushed cotton?
