If you want a set of flannel sheets, i got a set at costco this year and i adore them. All cotton, soft, very comfortable.
ChoatieMomâs beautiful bedroom reminds me it is not easy to find a pretty bed skirt with split corners. I have fought against my husbandâs dislike of pretty comforters/quilts/bedding for 30 years. He loves to sleep under the fluffy, furry sports team blanketsâŠug. Work hard, be frugal, sleep under an orange Chicago Bears blanket. I complain, go upstairs the next night and heâs changed it out to an Indianapolis Colts one.
My aunts are visiting in a few weeks and thereâs going to be nice bedding on the beds! We will see if he comments with them here

We really like The Company Store jersey sheets. Itâs like T-shirt fabric. They never feel âcoldâ like percale sheets can. They are comfortable in hot weather and cozy in the cold, eithout having to buy a second set of flannel sheets. Their only drawback is they wear out faster than percale sheets.

My favorite part of percale sheets is that they feel cool/cold when you first get in.

Ha, you clearly donât live in a drafty old house thatâs impossible to heat, in midwinter . . . Our house is COLD, and cold percale sheets are unpleasant! Summertime, different story.

I really like this type of bed covering. When it gets colder, you can always put something underneath it. This one comes in a lot of different colors. And The Company Store has really nice sheets as well.
They have a good selection of quilts and coverlets, not just prints but solids too:

I use a lyocell/cotton flat sheet from Ikea. (Lyocell is made from bamboo.) In place of a top sheet I use a cotton gauze blanket. The blanket is topped with a quilt I made. I make my own pillowcases from quilting fabric. About two years ago I decided to never again wrestle a down comforter into a duvet cover. So I use it naked and throw it in the wash.

@ChoatieMom I think you need a CC expert designation after your name for bedroom designer (and Iâm guessing the rest of your home is to die for too).

Okay, yâall have me rethinking the duvet and cover thing with the potential misfitting of the insert/cover and the, âwrestling,â mentioned above.
We have soooooo much to do to get this townhouse pulled together that acquiring bedding isnât a top priority. I thought it would he something fun to think about but itâs just one more thing causing analysis paralysis 
Itâs fun, in a way, to be completely starting over. Kind of like being newlyweds but not poor!

Iâm a duvet hater 
for the fit reasons stated above. I hate how they look in the corners and where theyâre buttoned in along the bottom. I also hate taking them on and off (yes, Iâve watched all the duvet hack videos).
My daughter likes Boll & Branch and Brooklinen for duvets & sheets. She gifted me Brooklinen sheets for Christmas and they are quite nice.

How soon do you move?
I like a nice looking bed - that doesnât take too much primping to make it look âniceâ. When we got a king bed in the fall I bought some king sheets at Costco just because I was there and they were on sale. Have to say, we love them! They have washed great and feel both soft and crisp. Fit the bed great without shrinkage (hate tugging to get a corner to fit!).
One thing I"ve noted since our master is now on the first floor - always had a second floor bedroom till now - is that I feel like our bedroom is more âon displayâ - we donât always keep it closed off, my husband has an area of the bedroom he uses for his desk so the kids go in there and chat with him, the dog goes in and out for his bed, it just seems more on view and a pathway. So I do get a little fussy that the bed making job is decent.

Thank you for the sheet tip! I just ordered a set as I was in the market. FYI for others that they are currently 40% off.

I have a duvet cover from Pottery Barn and also purchased the associated insert to ensure it fit properly. It is now a bit warm for us, even in the winter. I now use a light coverlet with a pattern and add blankets if needed. Curtains etc are totally plain so having a patterned bedspread is great.
I like Brooklinen and Boll & Branch sheets. I usually wait for a sale and then buy. I recently discovered Coyuchi (organic cotton), which are very nice, but pricey. I donât like duvet coversâthey never fit right. I use a coverletâeasy to put on and look great. I found some nice ones from Pine Cone Hill.

I used to use a down comforter in a duvet cover but a couple years ago switched it up. Now I use a light decorative quilt with a down blanket underneath. In winter I add another cotton blanket. I looovvveee the down blanket, for us itâs just the right amount of weight and warmth.
And percale sheets from target, which I also love.
The blanket is kind of like this. Way thinner than a conventional down comforter.
I appreciate all the nice comments on my beds, but I really meant it when I said, âYou may not want to be me.â How many of you iron your sheets and pillowcases? Iâve gone soft in my old(er) age as I only iron the âcuffsâ of the top sheet and pillowcases now. I always buy heavy 100% cotton sheets, but I canât stand crinkled ends. They must be perfectly flat, especially as I fold the top sheet over the comforter, so it shows.
Duvet covers are a must for me (part of the decor), but they must fit perfectly (so I make most of them), and I donât wrestle. I simply pin (or loop) the top two corners of the comforter to the inside top two corners of the duvet cover and shake until the cover is in place, then zip, tie, or button the bottom. I doubt it takes me two minutes but, even if it took half an hour, Iâd do it. My mother always said, âTakes pains to be beautiful.â I donât think she was talking about beds, though.
In any case, this topic is right in my wheelhouse. If youâve never heard Admiral Bill McRavenâs commencement speech to the UTA class of 2014, he sums up how I feel about making your bed which is also one of my CDO traits. (Like OCD but in alphabetical order, as it should be.)
Donât be me.

Whatâs an iron? 
Perfection sometimes at a cost, right?
I think I would be trying to climb into the bed without trying to mess it up too much!

Given my post, you may find it hard to believe that the only reason I own an iron is for the sheets. Even at the cabin. I never iron clothes.

I take our jeans, pants, sweaters, and cotton shirts to the dry cleaners, but I iron my tops, tee shirts, etc. I donât iron sheets, but I take them out of the dryer as soon as they are dry (fewer wrinkles), and I will iron pillow cases.
At our vacation place, thereâs a local dry cleaner/laundry (only one in the area) where I take sheets. Theyâll wash/ fold or wash/fold/press. I love the way the pressed sheets come outâthey are perfect (not a wrinkle in sight). Itâs pricey but I tell H itâs the only way that the sheets will fit in the small linen cabinet.
I recently spent two weeks with my daughter and her family and offered to iron 3-year-old GDâs clothes. They thought I was nuts!!
