i experience the same problem with bedding. we still have not registered for anything. well, a down comforter, so if worst comes to worst we will just get our own duvet. they are so expensive, and pottery barn has a really nice one for not so bad, so we will probably pick it up for ourselves.
you might want to put some of the higher $$ items on for group gifts, plus after the wedding if the item is on your registry for 3+months then you get a discount when you go and purchase it for yourself (accd to my registries - BBB. Fortunoff, Crate & Barrel)
If you can't find one you like at a place you registered at, maybe ask for it as x-mas or b-day gifts. Tell a few friends and maybe they'll get it for you.
i know its tough- i acxtually registered for a fake suede comforter set at Fortunoffs... Its on sale for $199 for the comfortor and pillow cases etc. I havd it on my bed now and love it- it is so soft... i know i would never have gotten it for myself so i zpped it and got it for my shower....
Don't limit yourself to just one registry. Maybe another store would have the bedding you are looking for, or the prices. Most brides I know registered at 2 stores, sometimes 3.

people have been buying engagement gifts off our registry and you'd be surprised what you get. my fh and i registered very modestly at first ?(we didn't have any complete gift over $50), but then my mom advised us to add to the list. people do like to go in on things... i would add it and see what happens.
If you don't find one that you like you can try domestications. They always have pretty ones in their catalogues. If you find one you like (maybe someone that you can drop a hint to) will get it for you. But I know how you feel we didn't find one that we loved either!
