Do you use a doona or bed-sheets and blankets?

I tried the doona once and it's just not for me. I prefer sheets and blankets.Do you use a doona or bed-sheets and blankets?
Yep that's what I do also . Sheets and blankets , in winter I pile more blankets on and then gradually take them off as the warmer weather comes along.

Should I get bed sheets that are twin size or full?

I have 2 twin mattresses side by side. Should I 2 sets of twin sheets or one full size set?Should I get bed sheets that are twin size or full?
Well if you were going for the larger size, it would be bigger than a full. It would be easier to just get two sets of twin bottom sheets, the ones that go on the mattress. And then one queen sized top sheet and comforter.Should I get bed sheets that are twin size or full?
You can't use a full fitted sheet over 2 twin beds, but you could use a queen.





Here are the dimensions:


Flat Sheet: Twin 66';x96';, Full 81';x96';, Queen 90';x102';, King 108';x102';, Cal King 102';x110';


The following table shows





Mattress Size:


Twin 39'; x 75'; 66'; x 96'; 20'; x 26';


Full 54'; x 75'; 81'; x 96'; + 20'; x 26';


Queen 60'; x 80'; 90'; x 102'; + 20'; x 30';


King (Standard/Eastern) 76-78'; x 80'; 108'; x 102'; + 20'; x 36 to 40';


California King 72'; x 84'; 102'; x 110'; 20'; x 36 to 40';
I would either get two twins or one queen. I did the same thing in my room a few years ago and I used queen sheets. It worked out wonderfully and it was better than having the two twin sheets because there wasn't a gap in the middle.

    That should work unless you have a king size bed, I think the largest available was queen.





    It's called a cabana sheet set, it comes in orange stripe or lime stripe.





    Oh yeah, they're ON SALE TOO!





    There's a comforter set too if you wanted that also :-)I Need help finding Striped Orange Bed Sheets?

    Can twin bed sheets fit on an extra long twin mattress?

    plain and simple, i dont think they can but im not sureCan twin bed sheets fit on an extra long twin mattress?
    No.Can twin bed sheets fit on an extra long twin mattress?
    An extra long twin bed is six inches longer than a standard twin. You might be able to get away with a standard flat sheet, it would just be a little short and wouldn't reach to the top of the bed. A standard fitted sheet wouldn't fit at all, because it couldn't reach over the top and bottom at the same time.
    Hi, A standard twin is 39';widex75';length whereas a twin xl is 39';widex80'; length making it 6'; longer. Standard sheets would not fit properly so best to get the xl size. http://www.bestratedmattresses.com/twin-鈥?/a> Hope this helps.

  • I make bread the old fashioned way of kneading it and laying it out on bed sheets to rise...any other suggest?

    Cleaner ideas other than a bed sheet covered. I would like to lay it out on something nonstick and doesn't need to be laundered just wiped down. It has to be large thoughI make bread the old fashioned way of kneading it and laying it out on bed sheets to rise...any other suggest?
    i just cover the mixing bowl with a towel and put the bowl somewhere warm and out of a draft...

    What is the highest thread count in bed sheets?

    I'm not 100% certain, but I think 500.


    My sheets are Egyptian cotton, 400 count.


    And they don't feel any different than regular sheets.What is the highest thread count in bed sheets?
    I have both 1000 and 1200 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets and I have seen 1500 thread count advertised. The sheets are super thick and super soft (The sheets get softer the more you wash them ) . In fact at this moment I won't get out of bed , due to the fact I'm way too comfortable . There are some really good deals on ebay at the moment . The sheets are definitely worth the hunt. ( I'm cheap , so I hunted quite a bit before buying)


    Anything above 300 thread count are really nice . We bought a Mattress set this year that came with 300 tc and those sheets are really nice , but you can definitely tell the difference with the thread counts . I wouldn't go any lower , now that I've slept in these sheets.What is the highest thread count in bed sheets?
    Anything over 200 thread count are considered high quality sheets, they will be soft after several washings and will not pill.





    I have also had expierence with 300 thread count sheets and they are very nice and soft.





    Linens n Things have a 400 thread count set for about 500.00





    One thing I do know, as long as the thread count is 300...there is really no difference between designer and non-designer so I purchase my sheets at K-mart and get soft good quality sheets and save the money.





    Egyptian cotton sheets are really nice as well and many places such as K-Mart carry sheets made from Egyptian Cotton and again are going to come in a variety of thread counts so make sure you check the thread count. I would not buy anything under 200 unless I really could not afford the 200.
    50,000 i do believe

    Will using soap and cold water help rub out the blood stains on my bed sheets?

    yes, also pour some hydrogen peroxide on the stains.:)Will using soap and cold water help rub out the blood stains on my bed sheets?
    peroxide will get it out .. and baking soda will do the trick.;)Will using soap and cold water help rub out the blood stains on my bed sheets?
    I always use huggies natural care baby wipes. These things are like magic. They take spaghetti sauce out of a white shirt and blood out of sheets. Blot away for a few seconds and it absorbs the yuckies. The catch is that you need to catch the stain while it is still moist. Sounds gross but it works.
    no soap just cold water
    If you apply Hydrogen Peroxide to the stains it should remove them. It may take a few treatments if they have already been laundered. Good luck!
    We use peroxide in the vet's office. It works like a charm. Quick too. And it does not leave a mark.
    Not if the bullet riddled body is still there.
    peroxide will bubble the blood loose


    then immediately wash in cold water with regular detergent
    Cold water - but only if you have not already subjected the sheets to hot water or the dryer.
