Hi, we would like to buy new master bedroom linen preferably online. We have 48 inch beds but I remember someone once saying that there is a "normal" size I can buy? We have light blue/ gray walls with like an ivory/light brown tweedy carpet. Does anyone have a linen set that they would recommend that's not too expensive- links would be greatly appreciated! I get so overwhelmed when I try to shop for this stuff and have no idea what price is even reasonable but I know we aren't looking for something super fancy but should be well made. Our current set we bought 7 years ago when we got married.
Thank you so much!

try closeout connections online.
Otherwise I don't think you'll have much luck. You're most likely looking for duvet covers and you'll need to make sheets separately.

If you have a full size quilt, as opposed to a twin, you can get full size linen and they work fine. It's a little hard to find sets with duvet covers in this size but definitely doable. Google full size duvet cover linen set and see what comes up. You can also look on amazon, bed bath and beyond, marshall's, tjmaxx, kohls, etc.

Quilts are tricky. On 48 beds you can use:
twin - so full set + twin duvet covers
full\Queen - so full set (A plain full quilt isn't so standard)
full or 48" quilt - very difficult to find fitting duvet outside of Jewish stores.

Someone recently posted a link to another Jewish linen site. It's easier to find linen for 48" beds at the Jewish companies. Does anyone remember where that thread is? The company linked was based in the same area as poster Rubber Ducky IIRC.

so I think I have twin size blanket covers- is there anyway to get just a bottom sheet and pillow cases and matching/contrast... duvet cover? I have no need for a top sheet or a quilt? Does anyone know if its an issue if the background if there is white on the linen-for taharas hamishpacha reasons...

We also have 48" beds and standard comforters and pillows.
I have bought duvet cover sets at $39.99 per bed (each set came with one duvet for the comforter as well as two pillow shams), and bought coordinating fitted 48" sheets at the local shop. Even this way, the total was more than $120 and I didn't think it was worthwhile to do again.

more then 120 for 2 beds or one? so what would you do instead? who thought of this 48 inch business anyway, my dh is like why didn't we get two large beds but we had no way to know that we would have large master bedrooms Smile

There are complete nice sets available for around $170 while the $140 sets I put together never looked quite as good and were pain to put together too so I don't think it's worthwhile to do again.
Sometimes you can even find nice complete 48" sets at closeout connection for $110.
