BEDDING ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi All,
Just a quick question about bedding. Have read several threads that the bedding from England will not fit the Australian beds? Is this right, or should I stock up on BOGOF bedding from Argos???. We will need to buy new beds/ mattresses etc when we land in Oz..............ONLY 12 WEEKS TO GO Thanks All..

Australian bed sizes and bedding is different to UK
Aussie Single [not sure if UK single size bedding fits?]
Aussie King size Single [needs Aussie King Size single bedding I reckon]
Aussie Queen size [same size as UK king size bedding]
Aussie King size [needs Aussie King Size bedding I reckon]

Re: BEDDING ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does it really matter? i can't remember what fitted what coming back and forth. you have to buy bedding all the time anyway. if you bring it and it doesn't fit does it matter? after a few weeks here you won't care, you will have lots more interesting things to think about and do.....bed sheets don't matter anywhere or anytime. you will sell things you wish you hadn't, ship things you wish you hadn't etc etc. so don't worry..chill out

Re: BEDDING ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry, can somebody just clarify something here then....
Is there no such thing as a Uk equivalent standard size double bed in Oz?
Cos we have a pine bed that we were going to ship and then buy a new mattress out there!!!!!!
Cheers,
Chris

I know where MORCPOM1 is coming from. I have read in couple of threads that these are one of the items to stock up on before leaving the UK. Bedspreads apparently are very expensive in OZ.

Looks like a standard double may be the same size

My daughters UK single stuff fits an Ikea Aus large single. But the Aussie equivalent to our UK King matress is about 8" too long in each direction - manageable if you took the sheets under so not desparate.

Re: BEDDING ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a very old antique double bed which takes a double mattress in the UK bought mattress and sheets here as needed.
Have Aus singles and UK singles and interchange sheets and bedding.
Will also add I buy bedding back in UK as I find it cheaper and nicer but will buy here when sales are on. That is just my preference not saying I am right.
Just bought a new queen sized bed and now I do have to buy more fitted bottom sheets.
One very serious personal preference - I hate the doonas here. Decent UK duvets are worth their weight in gold. Especially the 9+6 togs that velco together or apart to have different weights during the year.
So if that is what you meant by quilts - pack them in!!!
Cheers Sandra

Re: BEDDING ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try Sheriden Factory shops in oz for your bedding they are reasonable when they have sales. There is one in Balcatta WA, sign up to their loyalty card and they let you know when the sales are.
Hope this helps.
