In the month that I've been in Korea, I've discovered that shopping for stuff in Korea is quite a challenge.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I should look for a blanket (or a second comforter) and pillow.

My bed has a meagre (thin) cover and the pillow I brought from home, but I'm feeling this is too Spartan for me. Is there a market or store where I could find something that's not a rip off, nor made of incredibly sketchy quality.

I live near Seoul (Bundang line), and would appreciate knowing subway stops (and possible directions) of places recommended.

I'd prefer not spending a bundle, as I may be only using them for one year (if I don't stay in Korea longer).

Thanks for any help!

Yellow line, Yatap station - Kims Club or Home Ever.

Any Home-Plus will have basic foam pillows for between 5-10k won.

Any E-mart - same as home plus.
Any outdoor market (Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, Namun (Suwon) - you'll have to hunt around inside the market for the blanket places.
