Makro duvet

[mrjohn]

The cold season is nearly upon us and our bedroom can get pretty chilly. So I am thinking of investing in a duvet. Would anybody recommend the Makro ones as they seem to be just about the only option nearby or should I make a trip to the big city?

Have you not got a couple of old army overcoats you can throw over the bed.............highly reccommended

Thinking of replacing my 'Tullip' brand quilt. 11 years with 2 washes in the bath per month ain't bad and I'll be looking for Tullip again to replace it.

And here I am in Jomtien wondering if I will ever be able to turn my aircon off this cool season? In 5 years I have never had as much as a sheet over me here, summer or winter. And I have never turned my ceiling fans off at all (except when I've been away).

To return to the topic, personally I like to get all my linen either from the UK or, occasionally, from IKEA in Bangkok. Everything else here seems to be either rubbish or overpriced, or overpriced rubbish.

That’s precisely why I moved away from the sea, 5 or 6 years ago.

3 to 400 m above sea level is a much better climate for me.

Thanks for that idea but it’s just the sort of thing I did when I was about 18 or 19.

I like to think of myself as a little more sophisticated now!

Personally, Homepro have better selection.

Blast from the past there, being an old Andrew man I used Duffel coats myself.

Thanks, but are they better quality?

And "topping and tailing" meant four of us could sleep in the same bed........................those were the days

Makro duvets seem OK for the price, but the designs/patterns are just awful.

have you looked at Lazada http://www.lazada.co.th/shop-bedding/?q=duvet&sort=priceasc&dir=asc

Delivered to your door (free delivery in some areas) and pay cash on delivery.

Can't argue with that, though the downside here is that you also have to be further away from the restaurants etc.

I was always very keen on Baguio in the Philippines and the highlands in Malaysia.

Forget Tog ratings. I only recently found out that my floppy thin form-to-the-body duvet is much better than a supposedly better one that "bridged" all over the place and created cold spots.

Needs to survive a hot wash, though, or you get black mold.

Boy calls down the stair - "Mum. Our Gerald's hogging the coat again".

Embarrassed mother who has guests - "It's not a coat, it's a duvet".

Five minutes later.

"Mum. Our Gerald's just ripped the sleeve off the duvet".
