Looks like it's sold well. All on advance order.
Not sure about the tufted one in each set though.

I wonder if everyone has been buying two different sets, as Debbie has been suggesting we do?

It's a hefty investment, but I know a lot of people who used to go to bed early last year to minimise their heating bills. Having cosy bedding would help cut the heating bills and could pay for themselves in no time. It could be influencing some people's thinking again this year as heating bills are still rising.
I just hope purchasers are aware of how much of a headache the CH bedding can be in a domestic washing machine.

Oh, I agree. I have stocked up on cosy bedding, throws and heated items myself the past couple of years. I do love it. But in the case of Debbie suggesting buying two of the TSVs, you only use one set at once so how many people would want and could afford to buy four complete bedding sets (£200 for the Kingsize)? For gifts, I suppose…

I bought a duo pack of cozee duvet sets a couple of years ago so one's in the wash and one's on the bed. I've also got a fleece set with holly on it that I've had since it first came out. I love it, especially at this time of year as the upstairs of our house is cold. The duvet covers do fill up the machine to wash them and some of their throws won't even go in the machine, I have to take them to work to wash. I agree the prices are creeping up though - along with everything else.

And how much room it takes up in the airing cupboard.

I've given up with the Cozee sheets - my washing machine can't handle a superking duvet cover, it comes out soaking wet

I wish they did sets with just a duvet cover and the pillowcases. I was lucky enough to get a 3 piece set in supersoft a couple of years ago, but winter sets seem to focus on including a sheet. I use a double set on a single bed, although I’ve ditched the duvet, and bought so I bought some CH single sheets. I gave the double sheets to the ex, but I don’t think he’ll want/need any more. So, until they do 3 piece winter sets I’ll not bother buying any more. The two velvet soft sets that I’ve currently got will suffice. I donated other sets I’d bought to the Air Ambulance which also freed up space for me. I also prefer plainer sets as I don’t “do” flowery designs or spots. The ones I’ve got are plain or have a geometric design which fits with my decor.

 

[candycane]

The duvet covers are really bulky to store. I have a half ottoman bed and I chuck them (and the throws) in there to hide them. You would only get one set of bedding in my other standard ottoman so if you've a few sets they are going to be difficult to store.

My problem too except I have a superking duvet on a king bed. I’d like to try a Cozee set but what to do

I find that the KS duvet covers are always bigger than a KS duvet (especially in the velvetsoft)and you end up with extra fabric. So last time they had a tsv with 2x four piece sets I just bought them in double to try. The fitted sheets are elasticated all the way round so the doubles go on my king fine, and the double duvet covers seem to be only 3 inches or so narrower than my ks duvet which I can live with. I can now use them on either bed.

 

[LV73]

I was a very good girl and didn't succumb to the tsv ...although I did get the filled velvet bedspread that was down to £42 plus p&p!! It was actually big enough to drape completely over a ks unlike a lot of the throws. Down from £75 was a bargain. It does annoy me that they don't have all the colours in the studio to show though. I liked the sound of bronze but it just looked brown on the website, and the champagne looked really light, more winter white. Plumped for the Ruby (looked the same as their shiraz to me) so I just hope it goes well with my decor

Oh and I've got my eye on that waterfall cardi but no idea if I can get similar in the shops for half the price. Any thoughts?

I’ll use my sets of cozee home fitted sheets, but think I’ll get a brushed cotton duvet cover and pillowcases from elsewhere. I dread washing the CH double duvet cover as it’s really bulky in the washing machine. Bulky to store as well. The CH single fitted sheets are fine to wash and store.

Could someone tell me what sort of capacity washing machine would handle these bulkier items of bedding? Or tell me what capacity yours is if it is too small for larger items? I am considering a new machine and even though it’s just me at home so I don’t need a big machine for everyday use, I do have some Kingsize bedding and throws, also a washable mattress topper, and I’d like to be able to wash them at home. I suppose I could also only do general washing when I have a big load if I had a bigger machine so it wouldn’t be uneconomical.

Mine's a Bosch washing machine, ordinary size which would be 9kg? You can get bigger washing machines but this is your average size. I can get a king size duvet cover in it on its own, the sheet I can get in with the pillow cases and some other small items. The ordinary sherpa/fleece non filled throws go in no bother. The filled bedspread thingy that I have won't go in and needs a commercial machine (which I take to work with permission). I think Debra Leigh should mention more that those big filled throws won't go in a standard size machine.

I think the bigger machines are 14kg but more expensive and maybe bigger width? I didn't go for one anyway probably because I wanted a Bosch brand and the standard size was a lot of money, never mind the big one.

Thank you, candycane. I will investigate further but that is really helpful for practical advice from someone who has a bit of experience. I agree that Debra should mention the issue, too.

I can get my double CH velvet soft duvet in my Hoover 9kg washing machine but nothing else. No problem with the fitted sheet as it’s a single plus two pillow cases.

I bought the extra size throw when it was a TSV (without spotting that key point) and it is mahoosive. Not to mention a trip hazard as it drapes over the floor: I have to do a major folding routine every morning to keep it tidy. It’s like grappling with a pair of curtains, . And I can barely move under all that fabric! It is lovely though and is my depths of winter throw, so I bought a smaller one the other week, my early winter one , I am hoping the nextTSV will also be a Velvet Soft throw so I can get a navy one. I had to get bitter chocolate which suits half my bedding but the other half is more blue and yellow. I would take both of them to the cleaners because I can’t bear dealing with large items, especially when wet and heavy. Last time I did that the washing machine broke, which puts you off so I go safe rather than sorry now.

I have a 10kg machine and I put a velvetsoft ks duvet cover in with 2 velvetsoft pillow cases, the 2 inside cotton pillow cases and 2 pillow protectors, no problem. Plenty of room. Then I wash the velvetsoft ks sheet separately with other bits and pieces. Mine are all champagne type colours so I put white tea towels and white t-shirts etc in. You could squeeze all the bedding in the machine in one go but I don't think it would have enough room to wash well.
In fact, I did that (the 2 loads) on Tuesday and line dried the whole lot and it was back on the bed by the evening.

 

[AndiK]

Thanks, everyone, for all the very useful information on using different sizes of washing machine for bulky bedding. You can always rely on this forum for help. I think a 10kg is the way to go - 11kg might be a bit too far.

(What happened to that carefree girl who never gave a second thought to laundry? Now I get a thrill from investigating washing machines and discussing the pros and cons online!! )

I'm pretty sure mine is 9kg and I wash my king size velvet soft duvet cover on its own and the sheet and 4 pillow cases together. I wash 2 or 3 throws depending on the thickness, I have some of the old ones that they used to do in packs of 3 or 4 that I love and wish that they still did them, and some of the thicker later ones. They all wash and dry outside or hung over a door usually in less than a day.
