Where to buy linen set full size in "goyeshe" stor

DrMom it also confuses me! lol
I hardly buy anything in a "Jewish" store, and do not find them better priced or even more appropriate tznius wise as a whole.

What am I searching for if I want that bottom sheet, the thing that covers my comforters, and a pillow cover?

if I get a full set[for a 48"] I cant use the duvet cover (without alteration) if I get twin set I cant use the sheet
if I get proper alteration I am not sure how much it pays unless somebody has some ideas?

If you can find the items separately, you can buy full size sheets (they're a drop too big but I wouldn't bother taking them in) and full or twin size duvet covers, depends if you care about the duvet cover completely covering the sheets/mattress.

Dust ruffles are more tricky. I bought full size & had s/o make them smaller.

I have bought flat sheets on sale & sewn them together to make my own duvet covers. (Or you may have access to a seamstress who's not expensive).

1. You can use a zipper, velcro, buttons, or just leave it open!
2. Make the cover slightly smaller than the quilt

Lands End sometimes has them on sale but usually by the time there's a really good sale, you won't find all the parts of the set available. Here's a duvet cover and sham.
And here's one in twin only.

you can buy a full set at marshall's for about $29.99 - then buy a cheap flat sheet and sew it to the top sheet from the set - viola you now have a duvet cover ... most blankets are going to be standard and the fitted sheet can be tucked in or sewn in ... why on earth anybody buys 48" mattresses is beyond me - nisht ahin un nisht ahere - no wonder you're paying through the roof for a basic item

Ikea has great duvet sets. Very reasonable.

I started a new thread in the concerns to the frum community section because this annoys me SO MUCH but got rid of it because, urgh, it wont matter anyways.

greenfire, the reason I got 48" beds is that 39" beds were too small, and there was simply not enough room for 2 full size 54" beds.

I buy 54" sheets, which work well enough. I also bought 54" dust ruffle & stitched it up in the middle (the part that doesn't show & lies under the mattress) so that the sides don't drag on the floor. Twin duvet covers for my twin size quilts. Works great.
