Been using them for years

I'd been buying bedding from them for years, and needed a replacement set when the old one wore out. The price has crept up a little since last time, which I did notice. The quality is still consistent and delivery was as expected.

Worth it, just a bit slow

Honestly they're worth the money for the quality of the cotton. The product pages were clear and the delivery took the time they said it would. Checkout let me pick a slot which was handy. Only thing is the returns form was a bit fiddly to find on the site.

Better weight than the cheap ones

Compared to the supermarket bedding I used to buy, this is noticeably heavier cotton with proper stitching on the hems. I know my way around fabric weights so I could tell straight away from the spec. Shrinks very little after a hot wash. Good buy.

Best of the lot i tried

They're the ones I'd go back to. I compared three places for a new throw for the sofa and this one had the most sensible fabric info and a clear size chart. The colour was spot on and the throw is soft without being flimsy. Took a bit of time to pick but I'm happy with it.

better than the big chain

Against the big high street chain, this is the cheaper option by a fair bit, though the thread count is a little lower than I'd have liked for a bedding set at this price. The sheet is soft and holds up well in the wash. The delivery was quick and no fuss with the tracking.

better than the other place

Quicker than the other site I usually use for bedding, ordered on my phone in the lunch break and it was done in about two minutes. Checkout didn't ask me to make an account which was a nice change. Stuff arrived when they said it would. Would order again.

Cheaper than the usual place

Bought the same kind of cotton sheets I'd normally get elsewhere and they came in noticeably less. The stitching is good and the fabric feels like it'll last. Ordering was simple and it arrived on the date given. Nothing to grumble about.

Bought a throw for the sofa

Ordered a chunky knit throw for the sofa and it's exactly the weight I wanted. Good stitching on the edges, and the colour matches the photos. Checkout took a minute on my laptop.

Nice bedding

Ordered a duvet set off the site last week, the navy one. Took a bit longer than I thought to arrive, like five days, but the set is soft and not too thin. The app kept logging me out so I had to redo the basket twice. Yeah, happy enough with it.

Quick order, good sheets

Really happy with the bedding, ordered a double set of cotton sheets on my phone during a break. Checkout was quick and the confirmation came straight away. Sheets feel nice and soft after the first wash. Will be back for pillowcases.

Exactly what I was after

I'd been looking for a good quality throw for my chair for some time, and this is the one I settled on. The wool blend is warm without being heavy and the colour is as shown. The order arrived promptly and was well packed. Very satisfied indeed.

One curtain came up short

The first thing I noticed was how heavy the lined curtains are, which is what I wanted for the bedroom. One of the two panels was a few centimetres shorter than the other though, so I had to sort a return. The returns process was a bit of a wait but they sorted it in the end.

needed new towels for the guest room

I needed some new towels before my sister came to stay, and the old ones had gone quite thin. I did find the order process a little slow, as I had to re-enter my address twice. The towels themselves are lovely and thick, and they arrived well packed. I'd happily order from them again.

reordering the same towels

Reordered the bath towels I've had from them for ages, same ones as last time. Still thick and holding up well. Checkout took under a minute because my details were saved.

Needed blackout lining for the nursery

We needed proper blackout lining for the nursery before the baby arrived, and the fabric samples helped us decide. The lining does exactly what it should and the curtains hang beautifully. The team also answered a question about fitting within the hour. Very pleased with the whole thing.

The packaging was tidy

Honestly what got me was how neatly the throw cushion came wrapped, no crushed corners. Ordered it on a Friday and it turned up Monday. Pretty good all round, the cushion is fine.

needed new bedding after moving flat

Moved into a new flat and my old bedding wouldn't fit the bed so I needed something quick. The sheets are fine, nice enough feel. Took ages for them to reply when I asked about the sizing though, nearly three days. Got there in the end.

Not quite the shade online

The colour of the cushion covers was a bit different from the photo, more of a muted grey. Delivery was fine and it arrived in a day or two. Still, I'd have liked a clearer colour description on the page.

a good set of curtains

I bought a pair of lined curtains for the front room, the heavy sort that keep the draughts out in winter. The checkout was straightforward and I did appreciate being able to sort the measurements before paying. They arrived a little later than promised, but they hang well and I'm pleased with them.
