Charlottechicken Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I am looking for some flannelette sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers online. Anyone have any idea who has the best range at a reasonable price? I have seen a few things in the Damart catalogue, quite expensive though at about £50. My local market has a couple of stalls selling king size flat/fitted sets for £22, but only basic white/cream/pink/blue and I'm looking for stripes/checks/spots or just plain lilac/purples would do.

ali-s Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Try Woolworths.co.uk Flannelette duvet sets in spots and stripes and a floral one too. My local Home Bargains have flannelette sheets etc in at the moment in a variety of colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have good experience with the Northern Nights range from QVC (wash/last well). Not especially cheap, but they bobble less quickly than others I've had. Can often pick them up on various special offers or in the sale section of the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Tesco had but not colours - think the fitted ones were about £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thank you for those suggestions, they all look good! I did have some flannelette sheets from Tesco earlier in the year at a good price too, although like you say, no colour choice! Woolies and Factory2u look interesting, and I had never considered Northern Nights, but their stuff looks lovely, might have to splurge there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'd check out the reviews on QVC before you buy NN as some get poor reviews for shedding. Good point! I'd noticed how different items by the same brand can have wildly different reviews, sometimes the quality does not appear to be consistent I have just bought a couple of sets of flannelette bedding off ebay from different traders, one of which I actually found on Google first, didn't occur to me that they might have a 'shop' on ebay I'll let you know what they are like when I get them. One is the old favourite candy stripe, and another is floral pillowcases and flat sheet with a plain fitted sheet, in lilac. Both sets were under £26 including p+p. Now I'm looking for a nice flannelette duvet cover or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 La Redoute do beautiful flannelette bedding, it is very thick and cosy. I bought loads the other year and use it for camping. Sadly they no longer do the full range of gorgeous colours (my bedding is deep purple and lime green!) but they do still have some more unusual colours: http://www.laredoute.co.uk/top/Recherche.htm?Search=flannelette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Top Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Ooh ladies, you've got me started again (sometimes I wish I'd never got into chooks !!). I ordered a set of sheets off Factury2u last night and am so looking forward to cosy nights........... although having realised this morning that we've still got a 4.5 tog duvet on, it's no wonder I've been a little chilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I received some flannelette pillowcases yesterday that I ordered on 1st November off ebay. I bought eight pillowcases, 4 cream and 4 lilac, for just over a tenner for the lot, including p+p. They are supersoft and fluffy! &var=&hash=item1e6b7e3737'>***linky*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I love, love, love my Northern Nights bedding, we have three sets and all have worn very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Another vote for Northern nights here Can't beat the soft snuggly flannel in the winter & cool, silky smooth high threadcount cotton in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Reminds of staying at grans house as a girl ( a few yrs ago!!!) - no central heating just an electric blanket and flanelette sheets - cosy. I have to say I thought they had gone out of fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Oh blow, I want some now! Just had a looky at the qvc site but they don't seem to have much available. Do they replenish stock frequently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Oh blow, I want some now! Just had a looky at the qvc site but they don't seem to have much available. Do they replenish stock frequently? yes all the time - it varies (depending what shows they have coming up I suppose), so it's worth checking back often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Daft question from someone who should know better................is Flannelette the same as Brushed cotton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Re bedding from QVC if you're near one of their outlet shops (Shrewsbury and Warrington) head there. They usually have loads of NN bedding very cheap. Some of it will be used returns but more often than not stuff hasn't even been opened..............

Charlottechicken Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Daft question from someone who should know better................is Flannelette the same as Brushed cotton? As far as I know, yes! I've had my ebay bedding sets arrive. They were both market prices and about the same quality too so I am very pleased as they are both printed sets, and lovely and fluffy!
