I'm looking for a really heavy bedspread or throw

[used2bthin]

Under £100. I'm asking for money towards it for christmas but maybe I should wait till after for the sales? Its for a double bed but I'd also like one for DD when I move her into a bed, haven't decided on a toddler bed or normal single bed yet though. Any ideas? I've looked at Laura Ashley but they are very expensive. I've got one at the moment that was from primark, its so light that it can only be used folded back at the end of the bed though, I'd like one to cover the whole bed.

IKEA have nice padded ones will look for a link

here?

TK Maxx always have this kind of stuff in stock. I got a grey wool Bedeck (sic?) bedspread earlier this year, which is really lovely and it was reduced from £120 to £30.

For your daughter I would suggest checking out ebay. I bought a brand-new Laura Ashley padded bedspread which was from a past season for £10.

Oh thanks dizzydixies have you got one of those? Just wondering if they are heavy enough not to slip off the bed? Need an ikea trip anyway really, what a great price!

I was just about to suggest IKEA, mine was nowhere near £100 and is the lovely purple one in the link above but bigger and with a pinky otherside. It's fairly heavy too.

the little white company have some nice things and some are on 20% off just now

Hadn't thought of ebay thanks patsy. I looked in tkmaxx but they didn't have any last week, will keep trying, I need a new rug too.

bluebump that lovely deep purple colour is what I was looking for ooh, want to go to ikea now! Will also look at white company, had assumed they were £££ though.

I had it in cream but the dog ruined it

the purple one is lovely and my cousin has it in the dark red too

Is the standard size big enough to cover the bed? I've got loads of stuff under my bed I want to hide it!

ours was the big one for a king size and if I remember it hung over the sides

the measurements should be on the page I think - sorry I can't quite remember!

Thik I'll have to have a day trip to ikea... I'm going to start a thread about whether to get my DD a toddler bed or standard single now in case I get to go soon.

ok before you do here's my 20p worth!!

I got dd1 the toddler bed that folds up at the top and bottom so yuo can drop the top then the bottom as they grow

I put it against the wall and a mesh bed guard on the 'open' side

was fantastic as she was in it before she turned 2 and it gave her the security she needed

DD2 is now in it as we needed the cot for DD3 and have folded it all back up for DD2 and she loves it too

hth

I have this one

Its big and thick and warm!

I can't see mine on their web site, maybe they don't do it anymore - I suppose it was 4yrs ago

my friend bought this one though for her DS and she loves it too

ooh dizzydixies I'd already done it! I saw those extendable beds in ikea is that the same thing? But do you have to keep buying mattresses I am confused!

Smurfgirl that one is lovely, not a bad price for John Lewis either.

mine has a seperate mattress in all 3 bits but am not sure about the extendable one sorry

Oh its not the extendable? Do yo mean yours has three mattresses?

dizzydixies I think I got the wrong end of the stick!Its the sides and foot of the bed you can take off I was still stuck on extendables sorry, head full of cold!

no problem

and just for your info - laura ashley are having a 25% off weekend starting tomorrow for your bed spread

Oh thank you thats good info!
