Anyone got any bedding recommendations? I need new bedding. I've worn through another set. First I wear through the fitted sheet, then I start using the flat sheet as a fitted sheet, then I wear through that. I'm currently wearing through a linen throw that was about twice the material weight of the sheets. Not Bed Threads, that's what I've just worn through.
W.H Amad supply hotels, manufacture in Coburg and supply to public. They have more durable options and can make doona covers with your own custom colour scheme -- though limited colours.
Second this. W H Amad are excellent. Yes you can order online. They do sheets etc. for most of the big hotels and their plain white linen sheets etc. are excellent. Mine are now plus 15 years and still going strong - even after 2 teenage boys. They cost, but they're worth it. The only better ones I've got are the irish linen sheets my MOTHER bought when she married back in the 50s - these are starting to wear out but are still usable.
It must've been the wedding present trend of the time, as my mother got Irish linen tablecloths and napkins things gifted to her for her first marriage. Lovely stuff.
Yep. Irish linen was the go to. Deservedly. It's marvellous stuff.
I just bought a couple of these from Big W and they're not bad. They wash well and don't pill.

Is it that you only have one set that gets washed and used over and over? I just buy a few sets of cheap sheets and rotate them
Edit: Or do you have a top loader washing machine which is harder on clothes/bedding? Frequent bleaching that weakens the material? Or does the soap not all rinse out so the fibres break?
I used to have multiple sets and rotate but have worn through them without replacing.
I have found Linen House to be excellent. They wear very well and are very comfortable.
