Aldi has launched a new bedding set that shoppers may find resembles a pricier version from Next. The supermarket's 'soft' and 'easy care' Student Double Duvet is priced at £7.99 and features a floral design with blue, yellow, and green flowers.
Price difference between Aldi and Next
The Aldi design arguably looks similar to Next's Bianca Green Ditsy Floral Cotton Reversible Duvet Cover, which costs £40 for a double duvet set. Both designs incorporate blue, yellow and green accents, although the patterns are not identical.
The Aldi product description reads: "Sleep, study, repeat. Soft, easy care comfort for student life. Double Duvet. Choose from Stripes, Flowers, Waves and Check designs." A king duvet is also available for £8.99.
Next's premium option details
Next's Bianca Green set is described as evoking "a sense of well being and relaxation perfect for creating a calming retreat with timeless styling for the modern home." The description adds: "Bring a blend of gentle tones and intricate detailing to your room. Delicate stems and ditsy leaves are interwoven among the beautiful floral blossoms, complemented by a subtle backdrop adding depth and texture to the design. Fully reversible with a contrasting base and finished with delicate flat pipe detail."
"Experience the softness of premium cotton, in 200 thread count percale, against your skin as you immerse yourself in the tranquil charm." Next also offers a single duvet for £28, a king duvet for £50, and a super king duvet for £55.
Customer reviews and availability
The Aldi bedding has received two five-star reviews so far. One customer wrote: "This is a beautiful reversible duvet. A bit more than I usually pay, but I really liked it." A second shopper titled their review "Super comfy bedding," adding: "As the title says, the bedding is super comfortable, great quality, nice and soft."
Shoppers interested in the Aldi range are advised to check their local store for stock. Aldi is also selling pillows, duvets, and kitchen essentials for students in its latest 'Special Buys' drop, while Next's bedding is available for online delivery.
