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!! )

Well, fair dos, when you’ve no more room in the cupboards for any more Molton Brown, gotta find summat else to spend the cash on…….

Don’t believe everything that’s said about me on here. There are some who suggest I can’t help myself and I overstock on certain things but I do really have good control over my purchases. I haven’t spent anything at all today, for example, and we’re well into the afternoon.

Actually, speaking of full cupboards and washing, my tumble dryer, which I am not using at the moment, is currently in use as a detergent store!

On a side note to the washing machine thoughts, my local Morissons has an area outside with washing machines and tumble dryers avaliable to hire.
I haven't taken a lot of notice of what's available but did see some of the capacities stated and they were 9kg and 20kg presumably dry weight?
I don't have any idea re prices but several were in use at the time.

I think my washing machine has a 7kg drum but I can wash a CH duvet cover, fitted sheet and pillowcase with no problem. I also pop other smaller things in with them at the same time.

I did order one of the CH filled bedspreads a couple of years ago but sent that straight back because there was no way it would fit inside the drum.

A quick update to my previous post.
I went to my local Morissons earlier on and can now say the self service outdoor washing machines and dryers are operated by a company called Wash.ME who have a website with lots of information.
Prices where I am are approx £5.50 for 9kg and £11.00 for 20kg. Detergent is included in the price, and there are other options like softener which are extras.
The dryers charge by 15 minute periods probably about £4.50 a period.
They say there are around 900 operating in the UK so probably one near you as long as your not really remote.

Well I never! Great idea having a 20kg so you don't need to go to the dry cleaners for large items that are machine washable.

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.

We're in the sticks and there's one of these in Kelso which is about 8 miles from me. My caravan neighbour uses it all the time. I haven't used them but the driers would be very useful for me to dry my bedding things. My house looks like a Chinese laundry in the winter and it pees me off.

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 ….

I use a double duvet on my single bed so wouldn’t want the fitted sheets.

They do sometimes have a three piece set that doesn’t have the bottom sheet ncluded.

Just to mention that the one of the weekly deals is a three-piece Cozee Home set. Not the cheapest set we’ve seen, especially without the bottom sheet, and not everyone will like the floral pattern, but for those who have different sizes of duvet and bed, it’s an option.

Thank you, AndiK. I’ve clicked on your link and had a look and it’s certainly a good price. Unfortunately I don’t like floral designs though and so will keep my fingers crossed that they do a plainer design in the future.
