    Hi loopy_lou

    Have you tried Dunelm Mill ? They usually have a good selection of cot bed bedding and also reasonable prices

    If you sign up for the mother & baby club at Toys R Us you will get various vouchers mailed out which usually include bedding

    ikea do cheap cotbed sized duvets and duvet covers.
    I would steer clear of the baby/toddler pillow as it goes lumpy very very quickly. duvet washed very well and not gone lumpy yet!

    lidl have had a cot bed size one recently - i grabbed on for £7.99 last week. Also you could browse the net for vertbaudet and la redoute and empire to get discounts on them.

    Do what we did 30 years ago when babies were born. Use spare sheets and cut to size and or make quilt covers from old sheets and never use pillows for babies. From a double sheets you can make loads of cot or pram bits. Even better if Mum or someone can do it for you.

    if u dont mind me askin loopy lou where did u get ure cotbed from n how much for.....thanx
  • I bought three from Mothercare, two and a half years ago. As you would expect with a small baby, they have been washed incredibly regularly, and there isn't any wear in them at all.

    Getting the cheapest isn't always the right move, for me I wouldn't hesitate buying them from Mothercare again, although I don't think I will need to buy any more as I think these will do any future babies too.
