Bed Bath and Beyond.....

heyhey all...

been looking on net for bedding...woah its so dear in america!! BUT bed bath and beyond do these cool beds in a bag thingys.
In america they dont make beds like we do over here. they dont have duvets with duvet covers and press studs etc.
they have comforters..these are like patterned duvets that stay on ur bed but u dont actually sleep under these u have flat sheets. U wash the flat sheets but not the comforter. Then u have a pillow and a sham.
The twin (single) beds in a bag come with a pillow case (for a pillow u buy seperately) a sham (which is a square cushion) a dust ruffle (a valance) a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and then a comforter over the top.
Is anyone else confused yet cos i am!! hehe! But it works out much cheaper to buy this bed in a back thing..
U get them a lot of places but the cheapest i have found them is in bed bath and beyond. BB&B is in Florida Mall...so to all September 6ers...Whos with me??? im going there on our second day when we can go shopping to buy my bed in a bag...
Dependent on what pattern etc u get the prices range from $60-$100. So not too bad. Im going for one thats just short of 60
Heres a little piccie to describe it all for u...so no one else is majorly confused like i was! My sister goes to Orlando a lot and so she helped me out

Heres a pic incase u majorly confused like me is...

check out www.bedbathandbeyond.com and search for bed in a bag

 

Wow! You've really done your research, i'm impressed! My pink sheety efforts now pail into insignificance...... lol Are you sure you're not working for bb&b on the side whilst you're there?

 

im in liz coz im not takin all that bedding malarky!!! hell i could sleep on kitchen tiles so ill survive a few nights with my one cover lol

 

That looks lika a good idea!!! Ive just got 2 flat sheets to take with me that will do for the first few nights then I think it will be a trip to the Florida mall!!

 

I was getting confused with the duvet/comforter thing myself (I was looking for bwdding on the walmart site a while back). So a duvet has patterns and things so you don't need the cover, and a comforter is like a quilt?

 

THEY have these really cool things over here (they prolly have em over in the uk too) where u can VACUM pack things....sucks allt he air out..so that's waht im doing..to some of my clothes too..that way i can have SOO much more space in my suitcase

 

hmmm, surely, all you need is

1 bed + mattress + mattress sheet + sheet to sleep under + pillows = zzzzzzz

 

bed bath and beyond is the best place ever..they have the coolest things,and the prices are really good xx sounds like a good idea to get bedding out there

 

Yeah, you can get them here in the UK too, I bought a few for my suitcase as I'm trying to get everything into one case so I don't have to lug two cases and my laptop round with me.

 

nah zan they dont have duvets like we do... here we have a duvet and then a patterned cover to go over it and we secure it with buttons or press studs.
in usa they only have patterned duvets which u sleep under with a flat sheet between u and the duvet thingy....called a comforter. get it now??
Altho they are catching on over in the states and now u can buy covers for ur comforter to change the look of ur comforter. Basically a duvet cover thing. U get it now?

 

and nah chris u need comfort on ur bed...sheets are not snuggly enuf

@zan..check out that picture i put up on here cos that shows wot i mean...im looking forward to getting my sham (which is a big square patterned cushion that matches ur comforter!)

 

and yup first nite im sleeping under a sheet or i may take a sleeping bag with me in my suitcase...i reckon a sleeping bag may come in handy during the year.

 

Yeah! I got those vacuum pack thing especially. was thinkin if i pack my pillows in them and suck the air out of them, i might have half a chance of packin more stuff! You can get them from Wilkinson's if anyone's interested. I know that cos i work there!

 

Plus, think of how hot it's goona be before we get used to the climate. I know i'll be ok with a cool sheet...

 

I'm with u on that lizzie! sounds like I'll need ur help on the whole bed thing! confused i am!!

 

woohoo! we gotta a whole bed in a bag clan thing giong on ! hehehehehe!! x

 

The Air Conditioning in your apartment can get FREEZING!!!!! So you'll definitely want more than a sheet. I used my comforter ALL year. They sell bed in bags at Walmart.

ah but with air con at night it can get pretty cold - ive woken up many a time at night shivering cos ive been so cold - im still sticking with my duvet lol ;D

 

Sandra's getting me a sheet/pillows etc for the first night and then I've got a lightweigth throw I'm packing. If it's really cold I'll got to wallmart and find a duvet, if not then cool, I figure so long as I canget through the first night then I can fix everything after.
