affordable bedding for toddler

I've bought a 'starter bed' for DS and would like to know where I could get affordable bedding+duvet for him. Its smaller than normal single bed, and i looked at the Debenhams website (for quidco etc) but seen nothing.

Any advice whatsoever would be highly appreciated.

    Maybe Mothercare for a duvet, but I would buy normal size duvet covers - you get a tuck-in at the sides & end then! Single flat sheets would probably be best too, then you can use them when in their next bed too.

    Asda are good for good value bedding that stands up to being washed regularly, and they have some nice kids designs.
  • Thanks Floss

    Hadn't thought of what u suggested:about the tuck in..fab idea!

    Have also looked at the toys r us website and they got a duvet for £15 with loadsa half-price bedding so i may be able to get something for £20 to start off with for this month...

  • Dunelm Mill has some nice stuff in smaller size - and I think they're offering free delivery.

    i used a normal one and tucked it in on one side, but i also made one, cut the duvet in half, sew up the edges and did the same with the quilt cover, then i had a reserve for if sick and it fitted in the wash easy, but ikea are cheap too.

  • we got dd's from dunelm mill. the duvet was £7.99 and the pillow £2.99 (i think). The bedding to fit was about £15 in total for duvet cover and pillowcase. I recently bought 3 sets of cot bed duvet and pillowcases from lidl's for £5 each!!! Thats a bargain.
