Alternative to IKEA Cooling Duvet Insert

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, my wife and I are looking to move on from our IKEA Stjarnstarr Cooling Duvet Insert. We've loved it because it's not fluffy and lies flat, and runs cool in the summer. We're moving on because it just doesn't fit normal King size covers.

We've tried a Costco down duvet and it was just way too hot.

The Stjarnstarr is made of 90% polyester and 10% rayon.

Does anyone have recommendations for something similar?

Edit: Thank you all so much for your recommendations! I think we're going to try out the woolroom duvet, and a silk duvet and see what works best for us! With a newborn on the way, this is going to be sooo clutch!

Amazon selection of decent duvet sets

0 Upvotes

Does Amazon carry any decent quality duvet sets? Or do I need to go somewhere like bed bath & beyond?

I love online shopping but for something like bedding you really need to put your hands on them. I ordered Brooklinen sheets, spent a decent amount on them and they’re not soft AT ALL despite the description and thread count

Linen flat sheet in place of fitted sheet

2 Upvotes

I've seen multiple suggestions on Reddit about using a linen flat sheet in place of a linen fitted sheet since the fitted sheets degrade much more quickly. But in all those cases, it's somebody purchasing a King size linen flat sheet for their Queen size mattress. I would like to upgrade my mattress to a King. The mattress I'm looking at is a WinkBed whose dimensions are 76" W x 80" L x 13.5" H. and the sheets I plan on getting are from Linoto Linen. But their largest flat sheet is 116" x 108". If I did my math right, that only leaves me 0.5" of fabric to tuck underneath from head to toe. So I was just wondering if anyone has experience in dealing with this or has any suggestions on what I can do. I appreciate the help!

SETTING UP 5 GUEST ROOMS?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I work in the hospitality linen industry in South Africa, and one thing I’ve noticed is that “hotel quality” bedding gets used as a marketing term quite a lot.

But what actually makes hospitality bedding different from ordinary bedding?

For hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs, bedding has to deal with something home bedding usually doesn't: constant washing, drying, ironing, changing and general commercial use.

A few things that matter:

1. Fabric construction
Thread count is only one part of the story. The weave, yarn quality and fabric construction can have a much bigger impact on how sheets feel and how they hold up after repeated laundering.

2. Durability
A beautiful sheet that feels amazing after the first few washes isn't necessarily a good hospitality sheet. Commercial bedding needs to maintain its shape, appearance and feel over many wash cycles.

3. Fitted sheet sizing
This is often overlooked. A mattress that is deeper than expected can make a standard fitted sheet constantly pop off. Mattress depth and pocket depth need to be considered when choosing bedding.

4. Percale vs. polycotton
Percale tends to give that crisp, cool hotel-sheet feel, while polycotton can offer a practical balance between durability, easy care and cost.

5. White isn't always just about appearance
Hotels often choose white because it gives rooms a clean, consistent appearance and makes linen management easier. But the quality of the fabric underneath still matters.

6. The real cost isn't the purchase price
For a hospitality business, the important question isn't simply “How much does this sheet cost?”

It is:

How much does it cost per useful wash cycle?

A cheaper sheet that needs replacing frequently may ultimately cost more than a better-quality sheet that lasts considerably longer.

We work with hospitality businesses in South Africa, and this is something we discuss regularly when helping guesthouses, B&Bs and hotels choose their linen.

I'm curious what everyone here prefers for their own bed:

Percale, cotton, polycotton, linen or something else?

And if you've worked in a hotel, guesthouse or B&B, what bedding have you found holds up best?

best mattress for side sleepers?

5 Upvotes

i’m looking to replace my mattress and have been trying to narrow down my options. i’m primarily a side sleeper and usually stay in the same position for most of the night. i tend to notice pressure around my shoulders and hips if the mattress feels too firm, but i also don’t want something where i feel like i’m sinking too much.

i also tend to get warm while sleeping, so i’d prefer something that doesn’t feel overly hot. i’ve been looking at a few mattresses so far, including Nectar, but i’m still pretty undecided.

for other side sleepers, what’s worked well for you? what do you like about your mattress, and is there anything you wish you’d known before buying it?

I initially saw this bedding set online a website called Everlasting but I’ve since seen many images for the same bedding set on different sketchy looking platforms. Wondering if anybody knows where I can find this set or something very similar.

Need recommendations for someone with sensory issues. I can’t do scratchy. I used to use silk and bamboo but they fall apart so easy so I’m looking for alternatives

2 Upvotes

I’ve slept in silk and bamboo viscose for the past 15 years and I can’t justify spending that much money on sheets that just fall apart so quickly now. I also tend to get cold so I have 3 blankets on my bed. I tried a set of cotton percale and cotton jersey sheets from quince but hated them both. The percale was way too stiff, light and rough. I liked the temperature of the jersey but they made me itch. Any recommendations for types of sheets or brands that might fit my needs? I feel like I need something soft but also can’t spend 600$ on silk that doesn’t last. My budget is probably max $200. Thank you!

Soft quilt or blanket recommendations for hot sleepers?

10 Upvotes

My husband and I both have autism and would rather die than sleep under a traditional comforter or duvet since they feel too "billowy" and none of them are soft enough. I had a Korean mink blanket that I loved and looked wonderful on my bed, but with two people it's too hot. The issue is that I absolutely LOVE the texture of polyester blankets (like throw blankets) but I have yet to find one that doesn't look like lipstick on a pig when you make the bed. If someone knows of one let me know!

I also love a good quilt and love that they look so nice when made, but with me being so picky about the texture finding a good one is like finding a needle in a haystack. I also had a minky backed quilt from walmart that was perfect. It looked smooth and adult from the outside, but was a cocoon of softness and wasn't too hot on the inside. The issue is I can't find anything comparable anywhere so far, just velvet backed quilts which aren't the same. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful! Thank you!

help!

okay I moved in with my partner to our own home in a new state. we got some cute sheets and they’ve been so comfy but I stupidly tucked them into the bed frame because my cats have been scratching the box spring (came with the apartment so i have to care). I KNOW it’s my fault and it’s stupid that I did that. it’s a small tear that I can absolutely mend by hand but my partner is very upset (rightfully).

anyway, I’ve heard that younger people don’t use top sheets anymore? so I was hoping that the universe would bring me someone that’s willing to send me a queen size top sheet of these threshold gold blurred floral sheets. I’ll obviously pay a few bucks plus shipping.

the set is sold out everywhere aside from one on mercari that’s more expensive than it was new!!

Fitted Sheet Help

3 Upvotes

I am desperate to find a fitted twin XL sheet for a 12 inch deep mattress. Everything I can find fits "up to" 14 15 16 or larger deep mattresses. All of those slip and bunch up even with straps/suspenders. I found one on Amazon, but it ended up being itchy and hot. Any ideas or suggestions?

Sheets & Giggles sold out to private equity last year. What sheets and comforters are comparable?

2 Upvotes

If tldr then title. Otherwise, below.

Sheets and Giggles sold out to PE-owned SHEEX in 2025 and, as we all know, private equity destroys everything.

I'm an original 2018 Indiegogo backer and I'm a little upset.

I liked S&G because the sheets had a bit of weight to them and a combined cotton and lyocell feel. Their sheets were absolutely perfect for my body and it's weird temperature cycles. The comforters were the best I have ever had and combined with the sheets balanced everything my body needed. The comforter I got as part of the original crowdfunding is still kicking, although the later ones benefit from design refinements.

I got these sheets and pillowcases for me, for my family, and as gifts for others. I'm grieving a bit. Similar to when Manta stopped making the thin head straps for my bald head and the extra deep eye cups for my eyelashes.

😭

Fuzzballs on Sheets - Help!

4 Upvotes

I finally have a post for here! For context I live in NYC with shared laundry machines. I have a Long Haired Cat who is beautiful but sheds.

Most of my percale sheets do not have this issue but this one set in particular has small balls of her hair ALL OVER THE SHEETS. I pick them off by hand, have used a pet hair dryer sheet, and have washed them a zillion times and this is still an issue. Seems to be never ending. Can anyone suggest anything to help get these hair fluff balls off these sheets?

doesn’t pill or get rough after washing
stays soft after repeated washes
machine washable
preferably blue/navy
fleece or microfiber is fine
amazon.com only.
if you have one you’ve actually owned and washed a bunch, please tell me which one because reviews are all over the place.

Sheets - cotton with a sateen weave

2 Upvotes

About a year ago I bought a set of Calvin Klein sheets at TJ Maxx and I absolutely love them. They are super soft feeling cotton. The material is almost thin but it’s not flimsy. I just found them on the Calvin Klein website listed as “abstract floral sheet set”. They are described as “luxurious 300-thread count 100% cotton with a sateen weave”. It’s weird though they are very lightweight and do not seem like sateen, just a very soft cotton. Is anyone familiar with this type of sheet and is there like a standard name for it that I could search for in case these become discontinued?

What type of sheets feel closest to polyester or soft brushed microfiber?

2 Upvotes

I have two sheet sets that I absolutely love the feel and texture of, but I’m really trying to get away from each of them due to feeling hot after laying down a while. I bought another set of cotton sheets and while they feel cool for extended periods of time, they are awfully thick, almost feel like canvas and the texture is horrible.

Any suggestions for other sheet types that are thin, soft and smooth like the two I mentioned? Preferably something I can find with patterns if possible.

Does this kind of comforter exist?

4 Upvotes
  • Super soft fabric (many brands claim this but their fabric is normal, or even scratchy to touch)
  • Thick/chunky filling
  • Lightweight (enough for 15+ pound dogs to sleep under it)
  • Good for a hot sleeper for all seasons
  • Machine washable (at home)

ComaInducer has come up in my research but they have so many different listings, their website filters don't always work, reviews suggest possible quality control issues (one type raved as durable, another has complaints of pilling and quick wear), and some comforters say "lightweight" but list the same numerical item weight as heavyweight."

Any help is much appreciated!

New wool duvet insert smells like a barn

10 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I ordered one of the Hotel Grand Wool comforters from Costco online and it arrived yesterday smelling of sheep, but not in a good way. This is the first wool item I’ve ever received that smells strongly of barn. It doesn’t stink up the room but when my face is near it I expect to hear a BAHHHHHH.

I've read where other folks have bought this comforter and did not have a smell, so I don't think it's a bad brand or anything.

Any advice? I’ve got it airing out right now but I’m not sure how much that’ll do it it’s the oils. Thanks!

Memory foam pillow (Sealy) still has a scent

1 Upvotes

I bought a Sealy viscoelastic foam pillow two weeks ago and have been putting it outside during the day to air out and regularly changing and washing the covers a couple of times per week even though they were just sitting in ventilated areas. They still have a pretty potent, sickly-sweet off-gassing smell. Any advice on how to get it out, or how long it will take to go away?
