Bedding...

So this weekend FH and I move into together in our new Long Beach apartment! We have been shopping non-stop (no complaints here) and we can't find bedding that we both agree on. We found a nice Calvin Klein one at Fortunoff's, but I really really want an all white bed. I think it looks so clean and welcoming.

Does anyone have all white bedding? Is it hard to keep it perfectly white?

We have a Cream colored duvey cover and yes...to me its hard to keep clean. Unless you are going to take it off at night and not sleep with it, you will see the oils from your hands and hair on the top part.

I tried to wash it in Oxy clean and it got clean but I still see the stain.

Re: Bedding...

It is incredibly difficult....we have an ivory bed and I have had to buy 4 different sets of sheets and I change them at least 3 times a week to keep the sheets clean.
They pick up the oils from you skin and the slightest bit of dirt SO EASILY....
Unless you are going to be squeaky clean b4 you get into bed EVERY night, DO NOT DO THIS....

If I could turn back, I would, but FH would be ****ed since I insisted on this very $$$$ bedding set!

D A M N! Thats what I figured. I guess we will go with the one we both agreed on. Does anyone have any websites I can look at to get some other ideas? Time is ticking away, we move in this weekend with a brand new bed!!

Thanks

Re: Bedding...

I have an almost all white comforter set with a white feather bed. I spot clean it every few days when I change the sheets and dry clean it every other month. It gets expensive!

Another ivory bedding person...ivory sheets & coverlets. I have a chocolate-brown cat - it's a BEAR to keep clean.

The light pink one you posted looks ivory in the pick...maybe you could just buy it and see if he notices.
