Just this week I found a new duvet cover, they aren't that easy to come by and tend to be in pastel candy stripes or pretty pretty patterns, not my thing at all.

Warm in wincey
When we stayed in the lovely b&b in France on our way home last December, the bed was beautifully decked out in cream flannelette/brushed cotton/winceyette. I'm never quite sure which is the correct name for this soft, cosy cotton with a raised brushed surface but I love it. I bought a pair of cream pillow cases ages ago for winter use and quickly followed this with a couple of duvet covers that go onto our bed for the coldest months. I like a cool bedroom and I'm not a fan of the electric blanket or even a hot water bottle, but this gorgeous bed linen in my winter necessity.

This one is so so soft and as you can see goes really well with the Orla Kiely wool blanket that I pull up on particularly cold nights.
Incidentally we are loving our British made British wool duvet, we opted for the 3-4 seasons which is just the right weight. We've been using it now for a couple of months and I find I'm not overheating and throwing off the cover in the middle of the night like I used to. In fact I'm sleeping so well I hardly want to get out of bed in the mornings, no change there then.

Looks lovely! Making me feel sleepy, in fact. I love soft brushed cotton PJs in winter too. Sleep well! Ros
ReplyDeleteAfter years of wanting flannelette sheets I finally bought some recently and they have made bedtime a joy.
ReplyDeleteSo I went out and bought another set;-)
One on and one in the wash.
A lovely comfy bed - nothing finer. Youve made me reconsider flannelette - my mother has never stopped using them! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the natural colour of the bedlinen - I hate garish patterns and bright colours on bed linen, too. Need to be restful, in my book!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so toasty. I love brushed cotton pyjamas. I'm not surprised you don't want to get out of bed! x
ReplyDeleteGetting out of bed at this time of year is difficult regardless of whether or not I have slept well.
ReplyDeleteI keep threatening to buy flannelette sheets, as the Egyptian cotton ones are cold in the winter. For some reason Malcolm has a horror of them ..... but he warms up my side of the bed before I get in, so I can't complain too much!
ReplyDeleteOh I use to love getting into bed when I was young in nice clean windy sheets! X
ReplyDeleteI use flannel bedding all the time. Winter and summer and have for years. In summer we just use the sheet and nothing else. So comfortable.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between winceyette and flannel?
Looks comfortable :)
