Cheap single duvets any ideas?

Options
Hi - our kitten had left a lovely steaming mess on our single duvet when we returned home. Has anyone any ideas where we can pick up a new one fairly cheaply?

From what I remember it will cost around £10 to get it dry cleaned so if we could buy a new one for less we may as well do that.

I seem to remember Sainsburys doing double duvets for about a tenner a few months ago but don't seem to have any now.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Is it DRY CLEAN only? If not why don't you just put it on a hot wash?

    I had an Asda double duvet at university and it was pretty good - nice and warm in winter but not too hot in summer. Not that expensive either.

    We use duvets from QD for our dogs cost £3 each!!! I think they are only 4tog but for the dogs who cares- cheaper than cleaning at the laundrette! For youself these are probably too thin and not well made some areas are lumpy and other areas have little filling so not recommended for your own bed.

    Morrisons have some really nice goose proper square pocketed ones - they were half-price a few months back but I saw some in a larger store just last weekend. Sorry cannot remember the price of the singels - kingsize is £39.99, so maybe £19.99. Not the cheapest, but super quality.

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Unfortunately we don't have a Morrisons any where near us and i don't know what QD is but a lot of the others seem viable.

    I guess we could wash it but TBH after seeing the "present" we wrapped it up in a bin bag and dumped it in the shed - out of sight - out of nasal range!

    I never knew that such a cute little animal could produce the smells she does - it is vile.

    I think we will try Asda and Primark.

    Thanks again
