For the girl with no money
We’re just as confused as you as to why what is essentially a piece of material will a hole in would come anywhere near the £100 mark but for some reason that’s just what some duvet sets costs. Probably because there’s some absolutel maniacs like this who are willing to pay that kind of dollar. Chumps. Anyways, you all know Ikea, you’ve been getting your bed sets there for years but when it comes to budget linen it truly is the most comfortable stuff you’ll get for the lowest price possible. Plus, it’s nearly all reversible so when it gets dirty, just flip it over and saving on washing powder too*. Alrighhht.
*Don’t do this. If you do, don’t tell anyone. Except us. We won’t judge.
For the girl who gets drunk and eats chicken nuggets in bed
There’s no shame in waking up with a box full of chicken next to you on occasion. The truth is, no matter how drunk you were last night, you were trying to do the right thing and get some sustinence inside you before you passed out. It’s basically a health move. The only problem is that your duvet cover inevitable ends up covered in barbecue sauce and the like meaning that crisp white sheets just aren’t going to work in your case. Try these guys from John Lewis; they’ll hide all manner of sins.
For the girl that just moved in with her boyfriend
Before it was all florals, pinks and white (why is it that you can be the least girly girl ever and still end up with at least one floral duvet set?) now however there’s a smelly man sharing your bed and there’s something about him lying back on a bed of embroidered roses that’s kind of killing the whole sexy vibe. These tie-dyed sheets manage to incorporate a guy vibe into your room without turning it into a teenage boy’s bedroom. Plus, there’s two of you buying them so you can afford to splash out.
For the girl that got stuck with the box room
Sure you haven’t slept in a single bed since you were 13 but when you heard the rent for the tiny room compared to the others you were all like, ‘A double bed? I don’t even need one, it’s not like I’ve got a boyfriend and space is totally overrated anyways.’ While you might be regretting that sentiment now (especially since you still don’t seem to have any money) you can at least make the place look jazzy with this duvet cover from H&M.
For the girl that actually understands what thread count is
I mean is it really a thing? Apparently most normal sheets are 200 thread count and that’s just fine. Some maniacs who are really into this stuff go as high as 1200 thread count though which must means there’s new realms of coziness that we’ve probably never even experienced yet. Mental. The best place to get cheap high thread counts is on eBay. You’ll probably only get the sets in solid colours but you might have the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had. Ever.
