#Janathon Day 27 – Flat Mat Gem
January 27, 2015I can remember years ago bemoaning the lack of funky bedding for King Size beds.
Back in the old days all bedding for “grown ups” came in white, or cream, or fetching florals, or occasionally colours like black for people who fancied themselves a bit sexy. Grown up bedding didn’t come with cool superhero prints like the bedding you had when you were a kid, it didn’t even very often have exciting stripes or stars or patterns.
Then I started seeing the occasional piece of novelty bed wear turn up on quirky sites like Firebox, and slowly things changed until these days you can get novelty bedding for grown ups in the supermarket while you’re buying grown up things like vegetables and bleach. (don’t mix those last 2 together people).
At Christmas I abandoned my tasteful white bed linen and invested in some of the George at Asda Christmas Pin Up bedding.
It was great quality for the price, staying crisp and comfortable, so when I saw their latest pin up offerings included nautical sailor girls I desperately needed some. Since starting to skate with the Norfolk Brawds I’ve developed even more of a fondness for nautical style pin up stuff
I went into my nearest Asda just after Christmas and it wasn’t yet available, and it sold out really quickly online, so I kept checking in, and when it came back into stock I nabbed one fast, and now my bed is beautiful again!
Yeah, it’s Summery, but at the moment I’m in dire need of bringing a bit of Summer back into my life and once you’re snuggled under it reading a book it’s just as cosy as plain white and looks way cooler!
At only Ā£14 for the King Size George has become my new go to location for novelty bedding. You can buy the Pin Up bedding here, but here’s a few more that are on my wish list!
Just hover and click on the captions to see them closer up.Ā There’s mini hares (Easter?) tiny horses and oriental parasols, and no, I don’t know what an Aztec Racoon is, but it’s kind of cool somehow.

RT @Retrochick_uk: Yet more @GeorgeatAsda novelty bedding for Grown Ups! http://t.co/9QcykRdazz
Did you manage to get it from Asda or did you have to go ebay? š
Asda! It came back in stock online!
Shame they haven’t restocked the ‘Hello Sailor’ cushion too! I think they have found a market they didn’t realise existed!
The ‘Hello Sailor’ cushion was in stock last week – I got one! š
Doh! Missed them (again), will have to keep checking š

@Retrochick_uk @Georgeatasda Love it! We bought the original pin up bedding back in the summer – we need this one!
Oh my goodness, I want the sailor pinups now! They’re so cute!
I have the Asda Christmas Pin Up bedding so I now feel like I definitely need the sailor one!

My husband got me the Cath Kidston Trains bedding for Christmas because I love steam trains. It makes me smile every time I see it. Novelty bedding is fab.
