Anyone have an eitzah for place to get affordable but soft twin sized bedding. We found alot of nice full-king and Macys Hotel Collection has some twin but the cost is like 150 for a comforter cover and 50-100 for a pillow sham. Any ideas are appreciated (and yes I am a bit embarresed to now use the word pillow sham in my everyday conversation).
What my mother has always done is to take regular sheet sets (which you can find in twin in abundance, and at low prices) and sew the 2 flat sheets together into a comforter cover. There are people who will do this for a fee, maybe $15-20 per bed. You can really put together a nice bedding set this way, especially if you find 2 different sets that go nicely together.
For example, you could put the 'taupe' from
here together with the 'wheat' from
here. That's $30+$35+say $15 for sewing them together for a total of $80 per bed. It's not the best stuff, but you can leave the 400 thread ct (the solid one) on the inside and for the fitted sheet.
You can also look for individually sold flat sheets as an alternative to buying a full 2nd set. Point is, if you can find someone that does the sewing, it greatly expands the possibilities.
