Advantages: son loves it
Disadvantages: price

...Ok so my kids get basically anything they want, and their bedding is no different loll. My son loves batman and Spiderman, so normally anything he gets is either one of these two. In fact he does actually have both duvet sets. Ok less babble and on with the review loll. I purchased the duvet set quite a while back now; I think I paid around £25 for this at the time, although it may be slightly cheaper now. Included in the set were one duvet cover and 1 pillowcase. I was slightly disappointed to see that there was no bottom sheet included in the set, so I could either use a normal sheet, or look around for a Spiderman sheet. Well after paying £25 just for the duvet set, I did not want to go out and spend ever more on a sheet. So I rummaged through my bed linen draw and found a dark blue sheet that seemed to go well with the duvet set. So... Read review

Advantages: A personal, knowledgeable and friendly service with great products.
Disadvantages: None

...I found some years ago that night sweats could be virtually eliminated by disposing of the synthetic duvet and using one with a natural filling. At that time, cost lead me to a feather and down duvet and it served its purpose for many years but it was now time to replace it. Finances now being a little better I decided to upgrade to an all down duvet this time as they are even lighter than the down and feather, but they don't come cheap. What I actually wanted was a 4.5tog goose down duvet and it was mid winter, and you can't buy a summer weight duvet in the winter I was told. After hours of internet searching and phoning local shops the best price for what I wanted was from directbedding.com but I still had a few questions, whats a baffle wall, is the cover leak proof, all these questions were answered with great patience...

...In 1841 Dorma linen was created by the Roberts brothers of Manchester. By 1920 it was possible top buy prepackaged bedlinen In the 60's Dorma was one of the first to produce colored bed linen In the mid seventies I got married on the wedding present list was bed linen. We received some Dorma sheets and duvet covers. I was organizing our bed linen drawer the other day and realized that we still have some of the Dorma bed linen we were given, colours faded a little but still servicable30 years later. The sheets were a red colour the duvet cover a bold red and cream print , we have not used the duvet cover for a few years as we now have a king sized quilt and the duvetr cover was a double quilt size.

...! There are various Bob the builder duvet sets that you can choose from for your child. We chose this design as we particularly like the colouring of it. What is also great about choosing to accessorise your childs bedroom with Bob the bulder is that you are left with endless choices of what to add. You can choose from: - Uplighters - Curtains - Rugs - Toy Chests - Night lights, clocks - Table Lamps - The list is endless!! We bought this set off ebay "as new", as it is not the most recent design- but I would then again say it is very hard to keep up with the newest design as it seems two or three designs are released each year. We also bought the curtains to match, and found we could easily mix and match the rest of the accessories from the Bob the Buidler Range. The duvet cover and pillowcase itself is a decent size for a single bed... Read review

Advantages: Machine washable
Disadvantages: Dont know any

...Hello everyone, today I'm writing a review on my sons duvet cover. It’s his favorite and he just loves sleeping with it on. The Duvet cover that I'm talking about is none other then Bob the Builder. The reasons why he loves the Bed cover isn't because the fabrics nice and soft or its machine washable, it’s only because it’s Bob the Builder. My son believes his a Bob the builder himself and just loves the cartoon and all the characters. Let me tell you a little information about this product which should tempt you to buy it for your little boys. I'm sure if they are a fan of Bob the builder, they will love it to. What is the Bob the builder Duvet set? It’s a single bed cover with one matching pillow case. How does it look? The one my son has is full of pictures of bob and all his tools and different kind of machines he uses. All... Read review

Advantages: Speed due to a lot of steam generation
Disadvantages: Size

...I used the older version of this iron and when it gave up the ghost after 5 years of incessant service I purchased this model. I am very pleased with it indeed. I love the fact that you can see the water level. Also, the water which is heated is siphoned off, which means you can refill any time, without having to wait for it to cool down. It speeds up my ironing a lot. The large amount of steam means that you only need to press the fabric once to flatten it. I used to take 1 hour to do a duvet cover with an ordinary iron. This new one cuts that time down to about 15 minutes per duvet! Yes, I am slow at ironing and I want perfect results, which is why I love this iron. In fact love this iron so much I have purchased a few : one for me, one for our holiday home, my sister-in-law, my cleaner (who can no longer use... Read review

...is still the predominant colour that you'll notice in the catalogue. It's all very tasteful. My first order was for a jumbo bath towel and a duvet cover. I completed the form and sent it off to their warehouse on an industrial estate in Greenford and waited. Then I waited some more. These were the days before on-line credit card statements and it was just good luck that I received a statement showing that my card had been debited some ten days earlier. I rang and asked what had happened. It wasn't an easy call as I was made to feel as though this was somehow my fault. I'd given my full address including post code and whoever had processed the order had found the post code on their database, so the order had been sent to their existing customer. The parcel was to be collected by a courier, returned to The White Company and then sent out... Read review

Advantages: It's a book, it's by Marian Keyes, I love her.
Disadvantages: Not for those who are not Marian Keyes fans.

..., rather than just a load of random pieces that have been bunged together. I preferred this to under the Duvet for this reason, and because it is a lot more substantial - both in length and subject matter. It took me several days to get through, and I'm a fast reader. I bought this in Ottakars for £10.99, a £2 saving on the cover price. It is available in all the usual bookstores. It can be bought on Amazon for £9.09.... Read review

.../ CLEANING THE BATH: Before I have a bath I always have to get the bathroom cleaner out and clean it first. Everybody else just rinses the bath instead of giving it a good clean. I hate having to get in the bath after my boyfriend because he always leaves a dirty scum mark around the bath where he just rinses it instead of getting the bathroom cleaner out. 6/ MAKING THE BEDS: This is another job I hate doing. I have to fight with the Duvet Cover on my bed because it is a King Size, I end up having to climb into the damn thing just to get the corners in, my eldest daughter has got a Double Duvet on her bed so I end up fighting with her Duvet Cover, my youngest has got a Single Duvet so I don`t mind making her bed because it is not that hard. 7/ HOOVERING: When I do this job I pick everything up before doing it whereas when my boyfriend offers...
