King Size duvet (& bedlinen) in Vancouver?!

Hello All..!
Where would I get the best deal please?
We just need basic plain bed linen & a no-feather duvet (comforter) as husband sneezes with feathered/down ones!
In the UK I'd have popped to IKEA but I'm not sure that's such a great idea-price wise here..?
Thanks for any advice!

The lowest you should go is The Bay, unless you want chafe.

Oooh thanks all - lots of recommendations here - great!
Is The Bay a bit like John Lewis in terms of quality etc..?

No-one mentioned Sears - is it no good / expensive ?

It is the more upmarket one. However John Lewis / Waitrose seem to be some sort of icon of all that is best about Britain so I'm not going to risk inciting the wrath of thousands of posters by comparing them to anything Canadian. :)

Sears are sort of a middle ground of price and quality. They frequently have sales and if you wait for one you can get some good deals.

Put your hand in your pocket and pop in here. Atkinson's 1501 West 6th Avenue. Because once you start cheaping out its down hill side, you'll eating in Olive Garden next.

Sears is more like Woolworths meets Debenhams. The Bay is probably the nearest you get to John Lewis here but not as good.

I don't think I've ever been in Sears when there hasn't been some sort of sale on.
