Kid's 100% cotton bed linen

[AniaAnia]

I've spend HOURS on the net searching for 100% cotton bed linen for my boy's first 'big bed' - i.e. standard single. None of the major stores - Next, John Lewis, M&S - seem to be selling them; it's all a polyester mix which I'm not interested in. Mothercare has one dull design. I have found one online store which offers more but the stuff they are selling - even though lovely - it's so pricey! Do I really have to spend over £40 on 100% cotton bedding for my kid?... Help!

TK Maxx amazing for quality single covers if you don't mind classic rather than actual kids bedding.

laura ashley - poly mix is far easier to deal with though!!

IKEA do lots of bright colours and prints in pure cotton if that is what you are after-they do a great cotton sateen in vivid colours.Or the white company for special things with embroidery or applique.La redoute and Vertbaudet also have a big selection and its pretty cheap.

I love thiss

Ds has one from The White Co sale. It's really nice but still quite pricey even in the sale. I also got one in the JL sale for him which was £20. He's had both for about 3 years and they're as nice now as they were when I bought them. When ds moved into his cot-bed I used sheets and blankets instead of a duvet.

I love this site

Or how about this?

Thanks for all suggestions. My boy is still little and excited about trucks, diggers, emergency cars etc so would love to get him something of that kind. Three days ago I actually found a lovely set at a reasonable price £23 link here and even though I bought it, only to find out today that the interenet transaction hasn't gone through and in the meantime the price rocketed to £41! So I'm gutted, as it was to be his b'day present.

Anyway, just had a look at Verbaudet and can see a great alternative link here. I'm just surprised it's only a duvet - no pillow cases... In fact they don't seem to have any sets. The search continues...

won't they honour the cheaper price - many internet sites will - worth a try?

the pillowcase to match is here!

and depending on what vouchers you can use - Vertbaudet sell it too - so may be more economical to order from one or the other company

Gosh, looking at The White Co prices www.andyslinens.com's cotton sets look like a bargin

I do appreciate all feedback and looking at all suggestions (some are not actually 100% cotton). It seems to me that it isn't in fact that easy to find nice cotton themed bedding for a boy - unless one is prepared to pay a premium. How naive of me to think that this would be something basic and easy to find, just like nice pure cotton bedding for adults...

How about this for £17.50, although delivery is £4.95

Stressed - that's brilliant. If my 'negotiations' with andyslinens don't work out I think I'll go with the Vertbaudet set. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I've never used this store actually, usually shopping for kids clothes at H&M. I also haven't heard of cross-company vouchers. I'll try to find more info on those on their site. Tnx.

Groovy that's lovely and at a great price. And unisex which might be useful as a daughter is on her way! (Am I allowed to say that? Somebody told me off once on a public forum for revealing the sex pre-partum...)

Keep them coming...
