    Thanks for the link Suffolk Lass. Always handy to know where to buy quality items from. I’d rather pay a bit extra for something that lasts. I’ve read great feedback about Premier Inn beds, duvets and pillows although nothing to do with towels but worth noting.

    When I used to travel on business the Sofitel hotels always used premium bedding and left a card in each room advertising where you could buy it from

    We have just taken delivery of a  Premier Inn mattress and my quality of sleep has been transformed. I no longer wake up with painful hips, and feel rested.

    I had some Sainsbury’s Egyptian cotton towels a few years ago and was really pleased with them but I bought another couple last year and they weren’t half as good at drying.
    Have a lovely weekend 👍

    Once our bedroom has been refurbished I’m definitely getting a Premier Inn bed. I’ve never stayed in a Premier Inn but the reviews for their stuff are amazing 👍

    I use a boutique hotel supplier - premium quality and I signed up to their offer emails (used to be every Friday). You can get a voucher if you sign up (might be £10). Here is a link - they are not the cheapest but quality is excellent (also for bedding, robes, toiletries and slippers - I buy the executive mules but not for all as no backs) - there is one style of towel in "offers" as I look this morning.
    Thank you :)
