Let's talk bedding

Where's a good place to find a duvet cover?

My mom bought us a down comforter last year but I haven't used it yet because we don't have a cover for it. We have a queen bed but she bought us a king comforter. I've been browsing on the websites for Macy's, Overstock, B&B, LL Bean, Lands End, and Amazon, and everything is either fug or $$$. Or it comes in a king-size set for everything.

We've only ever bought those "bed in a bag" sets that come with everything, so I'm a little clueless about piecing together my own bed set. I'm guessing that I just buy a duvet cover I like for the down comforter, and then I buy sheets and a bed skirt that complement it?

I really love the one we have from Target.

What's your style and budget?

Style - you can kind of see one of our sets in my avatar pic. And here are some sets I like from Macy's:

Budget: maybe $250-300 for everything? I figured if we splurge a bit on the duvet cover, we can get basic neutral MM sheets somewhere. I have Macy's coupons and a charge card which is why I'm looking there.

Our bedroom walls are white, btw.

Pine Cone Hill, may have a few options you like:

Serena and Lily also has a few patterns you may like too, although they are on the higher end of your budget:

Also, check out Home Goods. They sometimes have some great options. They are a good place for sheets and accessories too.

Also, if you like any of the bedding from PB, C&B, or Restoration Hardware, check out ebay. I've seen some really nice sets on there, brand new for really good prices.

I have two covers both from Bed, Bath and Beyond. One is white so it goes with all our existed sheet sets and the other is a green stripey-design that I use with our ivory and brown sheet sets. I don't remember how much I spent on those, but it couldn't have been too much, because I'm pretty cheap, lol.

I got one of ours from Target and one from overstock.

[anasara]

I got mine from Ikea. Cheap yet durbale & machine mashable which is good for all the pet hair in our house.

I got mine from westelm.com, it's the pintuck design. I tend to like a lot of their stuff.

Thanks

I kind of like this Target set, in gray (which would be good because we have two dark cats who shed a lot): www.target.com/p/target-home-damask-stripe-duvet-cover-set/-/A-13712029#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink

And then I thought it might be nice with a printed sheet set underneath. I like this floral purple set: www.target.com/p/threshold-performance-sheet-set-pattern/-/A-14143850

But IDK if it'd coordinate, or if it'd be too busy with the stripe pattern on the duvet cover. And then I'd have to get a bedskirt as well and IDK if a plain white one would look right.

These would work better but they're pricier:

www.westelm.com/products/stripe-sheet-set-b706/?pkey=csheet-sets

Would a plain white bed skirt work with any of this, or would I have to get a matching gray color?

If you really want MM duvets, Ikea and Target. Target has some duvet sets on sale this week. I've had good luck finding MM high thread count sheets at Ross.

I personally prefer a printed duvet with solid sheets, but the first combination would work. I think that a white bedskirt would stand out too much though.

[definitelyO]

I am struggling with finding the right one for my bedroom right now as well.

check out The Company Store www.thecompanystore.com
I bought one a Kohl's and then returned it once I got it on the bed. JCPenney has some as well (online selection is much much better than instore)

I love Pottery Barn, but it's usually not MM.

[Susie]

Our duvet cover (and matching shams) are from Pottery Barn. I really like them.

The sheets are just plain solid color, from overstock.com/Marshall's/TJ Maxx/etc.

I texted the options to MH, and he liked the gray Target duvet cover with either of the West Elm sheet sets.

What color bed skirt would you use with this? Gray? Target has a few gray bed skirts available ... the duvet cover is the Target Home brand, and the TH gray bed skirt looks pretty close to the duvet cover: www.target.com/p/target-home-wrinkle-free-bedskirt-gray/-/A-14141615#prodSlot=medium_1_14&term=bed skirt

Ours is from C&B, but they don't make it anymore. I love having a king comforter on our queen bed. Less cover arguing.

I don't know what style bed you have, but we have a sleigh bed and I just did a fitted sheet on the boxspring, no bed skirt.

This, minus the footboard and side slats:

Next time we wash the sheets, I can try taking off the bedskirt to see how it looks without one, but I think we may need it.

Both from Crate & Barrel

I also have the West Elm pintuck duvet cover. I love it.

[Deleted]

They have a bunch at West Elm that are pretty reasonably priced. They always have nice colors and prints to choose from.

Ours is Pottery Barn. If you sign up for their emails, you can usually snag a 10-20% code pretty regularly. It's lasted really, really well and is washable, which is good with a golden retriever in the house.

Fair warning though, PB is OBNOXIOUS with their emails. Like ever. God. Damn. Day.

Me too. So, another vote for West Elm.

[vccake]

I'm a duvet junkie and PB duvets are my favorite. Least favorite is West Elm though I love West Elm home accessories.

Bed bath and beyond usually has good clearance items combined with their easy to obtain 20% off coupon you can get a good deal. For duvet we have a neutral medium dark blue (hard to describe) with a similar green sheets and pillow cases. Blue bed skirt. Just coordinate, no reason to be matchy matchy lol
