 Topic: Kids Single Sheet Sets
Posted: 05 January 2009 at 3:10pm |

Does anyone know where you can buy kids patterened sheet sets from. Arbuckles was the only place i knew of and they are now shut! I have been to Farmers, Briscoes, Bed Bath & Beyond. I know the warehouse has some occasionally but the quality is rubbish, i just brought a summer set with cars on it and the material is SO thin if you pulled on it too hard im sure it would rip.

I know. But I have a set and they are SO nice to sleep in. High thread count and they feel brand new everytime you get into bed. All the patterns are embroidered too, not printed.
No more splashing out on nice things like expensive sheets for me :(

I'm looking for plain single bed sheets sets that are not too expensive and have real trouble as the cheaper ones are not 100% cotton and thats what I want, oh well guess thats what I get for being fussy, lol!

I got gorgeous ones from briscoes for $20 and I dunno about other stores but mine will order what ever ones you want if they don't have them and keep them aside for you to pick up when they go on sale!
MIL is always trying to give us her old linen but at $20 a set theres no need
I forgot to say they are quite thick too...

I buy my kids ones from Briscoes - only when they have the 50% sale though - like a bargain.
The Warehouse Maison D'or range of sheets are great too.

I don't think your being fussy in wanting 100% cotton. It's far better for them than poly if you can find them. Seems to be heaps of cot sets around but not alot of single bed sets unless you want flannel. Perhaps it's the winter stocks coming into the stores.
