My brushed cotton bedding from the 1980s is still in good condition (albeit faded) but it doesn't fit the bed we have now. I can't spend a lot (didn't in the 80s either) but I've had a couple of false starts with sheets that were worn after one season (last winter). They seem to be so thin or shoddy now, only designed for a few washes.
In shops the bedding is generally packaged and you can't feel the quality. I did feel some Habitat ones through the package in Sainsburys this week and I could tell they were very thin.
Where can I get decent bedding (sheets, pillowcases & quilt covers) that don't cost the earth?
