A UK king is a Canadian queen and we found queen bedding fitted our kingsize fine.

Cool, thanks for that gloveman. Looks like we may be taking a little more than expected

Duvet covers are not so easy to get here. If you like colourful bedding, bring it with you. Canadians love brown, beige and sage. It is pretty boring generally.

If you're in Ontario, there is a flamboyant bedding store in Guelph. Unique designs, lots of colour, vulgar proposals at the register. As far from boring as one could ask.

Personally I would bring everything including the kitchen sink, the neighbours stuff, and anything you can beg off relatives.

On Carden or Wilson St, I don't recall the exact location but within 100 yards of that corner. Full of locally dyed cheery bedding. I bought a duvet cover there, bright yellow, hint of tie dying. The salesfellow wished me "happy romping" upon it in a manner which I inferred to mean he would be a willing rompee.
