Bed linen...

Its what we in the UK would call a single - I think in the US they may call it a twin. Don't know the exact dimensions are, my UK single sized sheets were slightly too large for the matress.

 

Louisa told me they dont sell Duvets or quit covers at Wallmart
what are you guys going out soon gonna do?
Will the oulets sell them?

 

You can get the really small duvets here and vacuum pack them. I just bought a thick comforter out there that did me fine but then again, not everyone likes the comforters.

 

Americans in general don't use duvets and covers (??) so I've seen, just posh sheets and thick throws (comforter), i suppose its easier to just have to wash a sheet rather than a duvet cover. I bought a kids set - think it was one of those bed-in-a-bag jobbies, just cheaper coz it was kids (and a rather exciting pink/purple colour to boot)! I was sheets (actually more than i used), pillow cases, comforter...i think that was it. So i just bought a pillow extra (like $4!) - all from WalMart. Just get a taxi there the first night with a load of others - everyone's in the same boat unless you're super organised and vaccuum pack everything and bring it!

 

i really am getting a little too over excited about what bed linen to buy :

 

I bought a patchwork tinkerbell comforter set with a washing basket

 

awww lovely! i would love that! was that just from walmart or did you have to order that specially?

 

bought it from wallmart .. cost around $30 for that and a pillow case you could get separate bed sheets but i didn't bother as i had brought some over with me. They're very cute!



you can see some of it in that pic.

 

it looks very cute can we have a look at the rest of the bedroom
see what space we have!
Can you buy a clock radio
bits and pieces for youre room at walmart?

 

hehe that's my uni room not the one i had over there hence the amount of cuddly toys on the bed.

 

aw thats really nice! need to keep my eyes open for something just as cute!

 

Where abouts is that room Louise? Looks quite like mine from last year... I was in Rivington in County South!

 

That's cos i'm in Anglezarke County South lol.

 

Wow! My friend was in Anglezarke last year, and a couple of friends are there this year!!
Small world...
xx

 

Just a tip take youre own pillowcase from home
it may help if youre ever home sick!

 

Is it just the pillow cases and bed sheets we need or do we need the pillows too?

I'm just going to buy a cheap set here that i don't mind leaving behind when i come home

 

You need to bring everything. You only get a mattress. I bought everything there. It was a lot easier than lugging it all the way to Florida.

 

buy everything..i've been here a month on tuesday and yet i STILL need to buy another pillow, my neck is crazy achey.

 

Jess...go to walmart lol.

I brought a duvet with me (it vacuumed up so small!) and its really nice to have a proper duvet rather than a comforter. I forgot the duvet cover though so that's a bit annoying.

My pillows I got here and the sheets were the ones I bought on my last program so I brought them back again because they're the right size for the beds.

 

Are the beds the longer and skinny ones? The ones found in colleges and universities. Not a standard twin.
