Duvets for toddler/junior bed?

Options
Does anyone know where I can find duvet covers for a toddler bed? The size I need is 150x120cm which is smaller than a standard single and bigger than a cotbed. Fitted sheets would be good too!

Have found a few duvets on the Great Little Trading Company website, but the choice of colours is poor. It's annoying that many retailers sell these beds, but not the bedding that fits it. :mad:

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    Have you thought about buying a single duvet and cover and then tucking it under the mattress (like an envelope) so that it does not fall off the bed.

    mothercare sells the lot, incl many sizes of fitted sheets - eg cot, cot bed, large cot bed, travel cot etc, and little duvets, pillows and covers.

    however, i bought my son's little duvet at ikea, for about £9, the pillow was £3, and they do covers too. think mothercare started at £25 for the duvet.


    also think mothercare are currently having a sale on fitted sheets - poss half price -, though it's certain patterns/colours only. ikea sheets only really fit ikea beds, as they still haven't worked out standard sizes!

    hope this helps

    So they do, I didn't realise that their cotbed size was 120x150cm, so that is certainly an option.

    What size is your son's ikea duvet? That sounds a great price.

    went to ikea today....again

    duvet is called len is 110 x 125 cm. costs 9.50p now.
    pillow is also called len, is 35 x 55cm. now costs 6.00p - i'm sure the price has gone up...

    soon after getting these my son had a nappy containment malfunction....eeeugh...and everything went in the machine. duvet came out fine, but the pillow went very lumpy, so i returned it today and got a new one.

    they also do duvet covers that come with 1 pillow case, for around 5-6 pounds.

    hope this helps

    Boots have a couple of cotbed duvet covers with pillowcase, and they are on offer at the moment. John Lewis have some plain cotbed duvet covers, you could dye them yourself or make your own as Charlotte suggested.

    Boots ones are here:
