Hi! Just wondering if anyone knows good websites to buy Western style bedding online? Someone that ships (preferably cheaply) to Korea!

Sometimes you just need the kind of bedding you grew up with.

Difficult. The online stores that I've looked at don't sell overseas. There is a bedding shop at Central City that you might look at. I think E-mart, Costco and it's likes might sell sheets and stuff. You'll have to spend money for sheets unless you want to get sheets and other accessories with really bad quality polyester. This I know from the Tesco's in Thailand.

I hear that. Went to BedBathandBeyond last summer in Canada and brought back cotton bed sheets. If you have relatives in the USA or Canada, you can get them to buy a couple of these sets, remove them from the packaging and ship them over to you. (Use your school address for more secure shipping.) http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/Cotton-Sateen-Sheet-Set-100-Cotton-300-Thread-Count/120549?categoryId=12019

After washing a couple of times, they are comfortable. Very much so. For a twin bed, they are $24.99 in the USA and they were $29.99 in Canada. Worth every penny. I liked them so much, I want to order a third set. There's no option to ship here via the site. But if you email them your shipping address, credit card billing address and include the link to each item you want, they may give you a confirmation number and then you call them and give them your card number over the phone. (This is if I understood their email reply to me correctly. I contacted the American site.)

I won't do the for awhile so I can't let you know for sure. Either relatives in North America or contact the site and sign up as mentioned. I mention this site and these sheets as I can personally confirm the quality and comfort.

Another option, but I can't confirm the quality for you is using this site: http://www.overstock.com/ They do ship directly to Korea. Their prices are higher however.

But, I do understand. I don't like sleeping on quilts either. Haven't done so in years. You probably won't find much in Korea. Costco only carries cotton bed sheets for Queen size beds and not smaller beds.

i get my bedding supplies on gmarket. great price, great quality. skip emarts or homepluses unless you want to spend a ton.

This might sound reveloutionary, but maybe you could get up off your butt and go to a bedding shop in your neighborhood.

[Weigookin74]

Bedding shops in the neighborhood have only quits and not cotton bed sheets. I've been down that road myself.

You could go to a fabric store and then go to a seamstress. If you do this in a localized textile market area, these shops will be adjacent to each other. It worked for me.
