Where is the best place to get comfortable quality bedding and comforters in / around Seoul?

The ones you usually find in the apartment just don't cut it imo

It really is a matter of taste. Most foreigners that go to Korea don't think twice about their comforter. They'll sleep on cheaply made chemical filled blanket made in China while they donate money to their favorite charity like PETA.

I bought a goose down lightweight comforter when I first went to Korea, and went through a couple more over the years. There's just no comparison to that Korean market crap they sell there.

I think it might have been a 300 count thread and of their main store brand? Again not sure. Haven't done the Korean quilt thing in years anyhow. The higher the threadcount, the more comfotable they're suppose to be or so I'm told.

Oh found them. But they're on clearance I guess. You can prob get a good deal on them then.

You can find top-notch comforters at the department stores and some specialty stores. You'll pay through the nose for them, however. And that's when they're on sale.

Sheets are tough to find. In Lotte Young Plaza there's a Japanese home goods store that sells fitted and regular sheets. Not bad, although over-priced.
