Welcome to te forum Duvets Pillows and Sheets:D

we bought all ours over there

But where did you get them from?

I was looking at the end of the winter and couldn't find much locally so brought from home in the end (they didn't weigh much or take up much space)

Might be better to buy the sheets, pillowcases & duvet covers in the UK, a lot of the stuff you buy in Turkey needs to be ironed

Duvets we brought in UK. If left unpacked they don't take up much room in a suitcase. Sheets we had made in Fethiye. If you are using a management company they will be able to order them. Likely they will be made in 24 hours!
Don't buy white sheets in Turkey as they go grey when washed -opt for cream.

Initially bought duvets in Kalkan, but not the lovely fluffy feather variety you can buy so cheaply now in the UK.  So I then bought more in the Next sale and carried them out.  I found some lovely egyptian cotton sheets in Fethiye but for the life of me I can't think where - fat lot of good eh ?!:D  But you can definately get them.  And mine haven't turned grey - they are brilliant white - must have something to do with the soap powder (which always seems to smell so much nicer in Turkey[^] !).

try the top road in fethiye,where the calis dolmus stops climb the hill and turn left loads of shops selling goods,but just as cheap on the fethiye market

Pookie that is men for you; they can never wash anything without the colours running - but I do use soap powder honest!

I also need to buy a load of bedding when I come out in March, again I was going to buy white. I think it is the make up of the material and the temperature it is washed at that will determine as to it going grey.100% cotton can be washed at high temperature and bleached without going grey, although it will shink slightly. The higher the polyester content 50/50, will not tolerate high washing temperatures or bleach and is impossible to iron if put on a hot wash.Does anybody know the price of those heavy cotton blankets used in hotels?

We bought pillows from Migros, thick cotton overblankets from a shop in Fethiye but we have never used them. Everything else from UK.
We find that we only use quilt if its cold or single thin sheet in summer.
