One thing to consider with white, does your husband sweat a lot in his sleep?

I had white sheets when I got married. DH sleeps in nothing but boxers and those white sheets didn't stay white very long.

(And I've subscribed...because my realtor thought my comforter was too loud)

I always see nice sets at TJ Max/Homegoods, and I loove my organic cotton sheets from Target--they get softer each time I wash them.

I used to buy bedroom in box type sets but every 6 months or so we would buy a new set and color. Finally, I decided to get a solid colored comforter (down alternative so I can use it year round) from Costco and just get sheets that match. So much easier. We lived in our apartment for 5 years and I had at least 4-5 different comforter sets when we moved out. I donated them all to goodwill. Also, after a year or so, the comforters would get flat or the quality would deteriorate, so I was kinda forced to buy a new comforter set. (Oh, we let our two dogs sleep on the bed, so that doesn't help.) I now have 2 comforters (in solid ivory or green) and I have a few sheet sets that go with each comforter. My furniture and lamps are neutral. Oh, I don't have any blinds but if I did, I would pick something that would match the ivory and green comforters.

Oh, I tried duvets but I found them so annoying because the comforter would always get tangled.

I love Crane and Canopy .... Reasonable prices, beautiful packaging and great quality. Their styles are modern and fresh

We have this one :

I like IKEA.. This is our bedding set-up.

We have Hotel Collection from Macy's. I like the way it looks but the duvet always likes to slip down towards the end of the bed!

We have a white duvet cover, with a soft, fluffy duvet, and have no problems with it. You do want to buy a duvet that meets your needs however: warm and fluffy, or light and cool. We're used white sheets in the past and not had any issues. Right now we have dark blue (600 thread count) sheets, and are enjoying the contrast with the white duvet cover. It has a gray Greek key design around the edges to break up all the white.

We have a duvet set from Dwell Studio and switch out sheets seasonally (fluffy fleece like ones in winter, cool bamboo ones in summer).

For those having issues with duvets moving around or getting twisted - i always pin the 4 corners of the duvet into the inside corners of the duvet cover with some safety pins (pin on some extra fabric on the inside, doesn't go through to the outside at all). Keeps it in place! The feathers still can shift around a bit and it seems "fatter" at the bottom of the bed, but the top still has duvet in place as it should.

Just in case you're still looking, I found some awesome deals on zulily. We needed something cream/light khaki for staging, and I found this set for only $60!
