Interesting that no-one can answer the question "What is the point on one-ply paper?"

Mark my dear, you are obviously shopping at the wrong place! Any good quality bedding should have a label stating the thread count. If it says Cotton Sateen and it's 100 % cotton, the thread count is very often 250+.
And you can open or ask to open and feel it! Of course I'm talking about the good shops that don't mind you doing it!

I would reccomend Ikea Mattresses. We had them in the UK and have bought two here. A queen size cost $495 it is the best one they do. We bought a double for the spare room which was the middle of the range for $245
They come with a ten year guarentee.

Finally, I agree with some of the comments above regarding front loaders - they range from $449 to $1799 in Good Guys. What looks like a reasonable washer (LG 7.5kg front loader) is $849, which when you take off the 12% cash discount is about $750. If you are setting up house using UK pounds, then that is basically around the £300 mark. Why bother buying a washer in the UK just to ship to OZ - you are paying for shipping when there is no point, plus you will have no warranty etc on the product.
Just my thoughts after reading this thread.

Andrew agrees with you totally on this issue and is putting his foot down and saying no way to a new washer to take with us. We have a while yet, I may still get my way.

Hiya ABC,
Got any prices on waterbeds by any chance. We have decided not to bring ours as it is 5 years old. Matress only guaranteed for 10 so better to just buy new when we find a house. Cheers

Is it worth it or is it quite cheap in Perth.
Looking at double quilts, and covers, curtains etc
