Does affordable linen bedding exist?!

We're about to move house and for the first time will have guest bedrooms - one will have a king or super king size bed (TBC), and the other will have a double bed. We use Piglet in Bed linen for our bedding, which I love – but the cost of buying the same brand for guest bedrooms is way out of my budget. I've been looking for much more affordable bed linens but can't seem to find anything suitable. I want 4 x pillow cases, 1 x flat sheet, 1 x fitted sheet, 1 x duvet cover for each bed. Even the high street brands are either close to the same price as Piglet in Bed linens (Zara Home is £358 each for the bundles), or they only do duvet covers and pillow cases (H&M Home). Does anyone have any ideas for where I can get affordable linen bedding bundles?? I really love the look of linen and would ideally prefer this over cotton – although I'm beginning to doubt it exists, and certainly don't want to be spending £700+ on two sets of linens!! I've already done a lot of googling, so am prepared to start looking at cheaper materials, but wanted to ask here first!

Rise and Fall have just started doing linen. I use their cotton stuff and it’s great quality.

I have Soak and Sleep French linen in my holiday cottage. I get most of it from ebay. As soon as you have had one guest to stay it would be second hand if you bought it new!

As it’s for guest bedrooms and you’re more concerned about the overall look than the feel, why don’t you go with decent quality cotton fitted sheets and duvet covers, and just a flat linen sheet on top? That would be a lot cheaper, and you could gradually replace the cotton as ad when you saw sale bargains.

I have Dunelm mill Dorma Egyptian cotton. It lovely. I think it would probably be cheaper than what you have mentioned.

Ikea do fantastic 100% cotton bedding for a tiny fraction of the price

IKEA do pure linen too, although only duvet covers and pillowcases I think - but if buying white, might make some of it cheaper?

If it's for guests, I'd really want it spotless, so chances are you gonna throw it away the moment they spill their coffee on it, or go to bed with self tanning lotion on or have a little body fluid accident, menstruation etc, so you better buy several sets that you can change and replace. If it was my bedding I wouldn't mind the odd mark, and I keep my bedding for ages, but sleeping in a slightly marked guest bedroom is just gross.

This!! My fiend slept in my spare room and left it spotless, made the bed and everything. I didn't check. I had another friend coming to stay a few weeks later so I stripped the bed for washing the sheets etc and she had left huge menstruation stain I it was huge!!!) all over the comforter, sheets, soaked through the mattress. I spent 1000 pounds, getting new bedding, mattress and disposing it off. I cried :( She didnt even have the decency to tell me

Can you not just buy the extra bits in addition to the duvet cover and pillow cases seperately? Is that not waht almost everyone else does?
