I have nice cotton sheets (Miss Charismatic made me stop using my racing car ones ) and I like them fresh off the washing line when they still smell like sunshine . I tend to be a bit functional though in that I don't have loads of cushions I don't need.

So you can't snuggle down then and talk to each other under the covers? You are missing out on a rather nice experience. Especially if you are laying cocooned between soft sheets and comfy pillows which you can chuck on the floor when you need to go to sleep.

Is their linen good then, I'm thinking of buying a new bed, and also some linen. It will have to be that really soft, satiny cotton. And where can you buy a good bed, something roomy and well sprung?

White Company all the way for me

Squirty, the bed these days is not so important. It is all in the mattress. I dropped 6000Dhs on a King Koil latex mattress and it was worth every penny.

Is it big? What type of base does it have, my current bed is literally on its last legs.

The problem is that it's a focal family meeting place and I guess it's just worn out.

I was going to ask you where it is, but I want to wait for Spugsy to start a thread asking where it is...

You're probably talking about Falaknaz...But nevertheless, you ruined my anticipation in waiting for a new thread...
