maureen whilst your buying bedding i would recommend you get some vacuum bags too, i bought 5 lots of bedding in march and would never have got it all home without the bags[msneek]

Are you buying sheet sets or a complete Bed in a Bag. I have bought quite a few of the later for our 4'6" bed in our spare room and I think the Full size in too small. I like to have a lot of sheet to tuck in, it may be because the sets are seconds. I'm going to try a queen set next as I like the comforter to really drape over the bed.

I've washed my original comforter today, I've bought quite a few over the years but I still go back to this one which I bought over 10 years ago. Whenever I'm over I check in Beds Bath & Beyond to see if they have another set but so far have been unlucky.[msncry]

we bought bed in the bag in queen size for our king size 5ft bed and they fit great

i also bought some seperate king size comforters so they are oversized and hang on the floor

MIZZY we only have USA sheets now in the Uk as they are better quality cotten and do not shrink as much .
Thanks for the info about the vacuum bags .
The customs must think the BRITS are daft as we were asked why take bedding back but as above we tell them about quality and understand

I work for ICI and they went abroad for fabric and making garments and in the end all we made was labels for garments and other things and they closed and loss jobs in UK[msnmad]
