White bedding

I also have white bedding. I buy duvets and matching pillow cases with a ruffled finish so I don't have to iron them, just fold them carefully when they are dry. I turn the pillows over to the smooth side when I sleep and, as well as being more comfortable on my face, it keeps them looking whiter. However, my main reason for buying white bedding was so that I can wash other whites, i.e. DH's underwear and hankies! There were never enough whites to make up a single wash before I bought the bedding! So my whites aren't a style choice but a practical solution!

I always have white bedding in Egyptian cotton and its always stayed nice and white at a 60 degree wash,you can so easily ring the changes with bits of colour and give a total new look when you need to with white at the moment my other colour in the bedroom is duck egg blue,but am looking to change soon to lilac.

I love white linen on my bed, so crisp and fresh. I got the last set hugely reduced in the sale. It's Sanderson and washes beautifully. My towels are also white, so no laundry issues of a random colour getting in the wash. I wash my whites at 60 degrees and they stay pristine

White bedding and towels all the way for me. There's no problem keeping it looking good these days - it just all goes in the wash at 60 and the laundry fairies do their stuff. I must be neater than I thought though - I often have breakfast in bed (a fried egg sandwich yesterday!) and can't remember ever messing up the sheets.

Brightly coloured bedding for me every time. The marks don't show. There's even the odd spot of nail varnish on a duvet cover somewhere. I really couldn't cope with white.

You can buy Egyptian cotton sheets from here:
discounthometextiles.co.uk lovely quality and price

I have white Egyptian cotton bed linen and a white Sanderson bedspread on my bed. I drink tea in bed often and have never had a problem with spills - my linens always come up beautifully clean at 60 degrees, but I also give them an occasional 90 degree wash and I don't use softener.

I love white bedding and I use it on all the beds. I've come across a wonderful company recently called Mangle & Wringer (good name) who make Natural bleach and a wonderful natural washing powder without scent (i seem to be allergic to all fragrances in cleaning products these days). If you dry your linen on the line it has that wonderful old fashioned smell of fresh air. Reminds me of being a girl and being tucked up in my grandparents big double bed with the eiderdown on top. Has to be cotton of course.

I also like white cotton sheets but only on a bed I don't have to iron the sheets for ie a hotel. The thought of ironing anything, never mind sheets and duvet covers, would send me into a state of apoplexy.

Sorry should have been ''The Queen' apologies Your Majesty.

I love white bedding and would love to buy it from The White Company (I'm told the queen gets hers there) but I have a very messy husband who would drop his morning tea on it but we do have cream jacquard sets from Dorma (purchased at Dunelm) they look very nice.

Nonnie are they super King size cause if they are I'll have them. No point keeping them in a cupboard for the next so many years

I have had white bed linen for some time now, I love it, but have to be extra careful to thoroughly clean all make up off at night, black blobs don't look good on white pillowcases, or white towels for that matter. I also have to be careful if I'm doing my makeup sitting on the edge of the bed and with my first cup of coffee of the day.

What lovely replies. Like Luckygirl I intend to have a patchwork throw over most of the bedding. A good excuse to make patchwork quilts, maybe one for each season - nothing wrong with a bit of ambition.
The carpet will probably be taupe or whatever they call beige now. I love the calm look of hotel rooms but will keep it more personal with quilts and favourite pictures.

Shysal , I was just about to compliment you ! Lovely pic.
Yes, white, white, white. I have lovely curtains in red and beige floral pattern with cushions to match as I thought it would look nice. I just found the cushions a nuisance so use them somewhere else. I have a Laura Ashley bedspread over the bedding, and the walls are white. Bits and bobs lying about lend enough colour contrast anyway, along with the curtains. Oddly enough the white seems to keep its whiteness and the throw doesn't seem to get dirty quickly, or at least if it does I don't see it.

When I moved into my house, I painted the bedroom white, but hated it because it looked so cold. I therefore went back to the original colours of pale terracotta and sand, which were popular at the time, 16 years ago, with gingham/white bedding. The colour scheme went out of fashion, but I am pleased to see earthy tones are back this winter. They say that if you wait long enough you will be 'with it'. (pic is not my room, it is from bedding ad.)

A cautionary tale. I bought a couple of sets of good Egyptian cotton and DH hates it, says it rustles so it sits in a cupboard and doesn't get used!

Love my white bedding . Especially now the clocks have changed it looks lovely and bright. Curtains, cushions and throw are in berry colours to give hint of colour. Nordic countries use white and pastel colours also. Anything goes with white so just by changing curtains etc. You've got whole new look!

My bedroom is also all white too. Even my bedroom floor which is white laminate. I love it!

Well, we are all different aren't we? I like lots of colour, so no white anything for me at all!

All the linen including sheets and towels is white In our house. Wash at 95 all whites. Stay white until too old. Try to buy nothing less than 400 thread count and much more if I can get them reduced as they last forever.

I love our white bedding too. I buy it in Fenwicks sale or online from companies who specialise in bedding for hotels. One of these even managed to deliver it the next day from England to my door in rural France, which is faster than anything else I have bought. We have a wooden floor and lots of beams so the white makes a lovely contrast.

I just love my white bedding and it keeps its looks from one week to the next. Ive had white for many years now and do love climbing into a freshly made bed which is all white. I've had breakfast, lunch and even dinner lounging about in this bed - and why? because I can and because I'm worth it.

I also stick to white cotton for our bed. I always have breakfast in bed, and lots of tea but the being can be washed hot so no problem. I like the look of a white bed, it's very calming.

I usually drink the tea at bedtime, Indinina, but like you I'd rather go downstairs in the morning for my first brew of the day!

I just think an all white bedroom would feel too sterile, I prefer warmer tones, but it certainly is a matter of personal taste.
