What a used bedding set is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for bedding sets, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £45 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £38 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £29 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £20 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £11 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a bedding set
- Recognised bedding brands and quality cottons
- Complete sets with matching pillowcases
- Standard sizes clearly stated
- Unfaded colours with no bobbling
What lowers it
- Thinning and bobbling from repeated washing
- Faded or mismatched pieces
- Incomplete sets missing pillowcases
- Polyester blends, which sell for very little
How to work out what yours is worth
- State the exact bed size
- Wash and photograph the set clean
- Count every piece and list them
Once you have those three answers you can place your own bedding set on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Can you sell used bedding?
Yes, provided it is freshly washed and you say so. Sets in good cotton from recognised brands sell best.
What size should I state?
The exact bed size. It is the first thing buyers filter on and vague descriptions lead to returns.
Does thread count matter?
Somewhat, though fabric quality and weave matter more. State it if you know it, but do not guess.
