We are planning to stay in several holiday park cabins of which many do not include bed linen. Instead of hiring them we are concidering to buy them and then donate them when we leave two months later. The Warehouse, Briscoes and Farmers are all likely possibilities. -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This post has been removed at the author's request.

Edited: 11 February 2017, 23:25The Warehouse seems to have also cheap sleeping bags and there's a few of them down our route. Does most Warehouses have similar selection or are some of them significally smaller or only focus on certain objects? I'm mostly interested in the Warehouse in Henderson Auckland on or way to Piha beach. One destination mentioned in this post Warehouses around the country stock the same ranges.
Some of the shops are also outlet stores, like the one located at Auckland airport. I suggest you try there first because it has good parking, and is a quieter shopping centre. Henderson is very busy nowadays. If you are going to Piha, using Titirangi road to get to this beach, the Warehouse in New Lynn would be closer than Henderson. Otherwise both Briscoes and Spotlight will be having summer sales, and they both stock sheets, bedding and other linens. Briscoes sells outdoor equipment and sleeping bags too. 3 destinations mentioned in this post kmart, salvation army or second hand store, warehouse would be the best recommendations. Warehouse Titirangi and Warehouse New Lynn are very similar in size/scale - both will definitely have bed linen - so choose whichever is more on your route (likely New Lynn as discussed above) he Warehouse's outdoor line is actually quite good. It's called Navigator South and is likely to be a little better than their Necessities brand
Wharehouse, Briscos and Farmers are large store that sell everything bar kitchen sinks. They are either big, or very big. They have policies of clearing stuff that is out of season or slowing slowly. At the moment camping type stuff is probably cheaper than at an op shop. If anything is faulty and you keep proof of purchase there is no drama returning it. Briscoes are definitely having a summer sale at the moment with sheets at 60% off over the last few days. I'm not sure how long this will last for, but they often have sales on essentials at 30, 40 or 50% off. At these prices they are frequently cheaper than the Warehouse, plus they tend to be better stocked. Farmers and Spotlight are also really good when they have sales, which is really frequently in both cases. NZ with a 10 year old NZ dollars - money exchange (?)

"Patients come to me in pain, and I know their pillow isn't keeping their neck aligned with their spine," says Dr. Darren Pollack, chiropractor and medical director of DASHA Wellness & Spa.
"Overtime, this wear-and-tear can cause muscle stiffness, tendonitis, nerve pain, herniated discs, and more." Here's how to make the best choice when shopping the pillow aisle:1. Recognize when it might be time for a replacement. Pillows simply don't last forever, so keep an eye out for lumps and sagging. "If you have a traditional fiberfill pillow, fold it in half and place a book on top of it," says Lexie Sachs, textiles analyst in the Good Housekeeping Institute. "If it springs back to shape, it's still good. But if it stays folded in half, it's time for a new one." Memory foam pillows that are crumbly or no longer hold their shape also need to go.2. Get to know the materials. "Down pillows tend to be the fluffiest, but a combination of down with feather will be less expensive," says Sachs. A pillow made out of a synthetic fill or down alternative will also probably be cheaper, and still feel soft while offering supportive resistance. And memory foam pillows tend to be thicker and firmer."
You also want to make sure that the outer fabric is tightly woven to keep the fill in and allergens out," says Sachs. "The stitching should be very tight, and no feathers or fibers should poke out."3. Then, consider how you sleep. A pillow's material can tend to determine how supportive it is, but its thickness makes a significant difference, too. For instance, you can find thick down pillows in the market, and even memory foam's texture can vary, says Natalie Dautovich, Ph.D., an environmental scholar at the National Sleep Foundation."In general, side sleepers need a thicker pillow, stomach sleepers need a thinner pillow, and a back sleeper will fall somewhere in between," says Dautovich.But it's very possible you're an exception to these guidelines. "It's all about the position of your neck," says Dr. Pollack. "It should align with your spine in a neutral position as you sleep. So I like to recommend a hybrid pillow that has a memory foam core surrounded with a softer down or synthetic layer.
This version offers support and comfort, and can adapt as you change position throughout the night.""I don't suggest the original kind of memory foam pillows — the ones with the double humps," he says. "They're too one dimensional."4. Note how you'll need to care for it. "Before purchasing a pillow, check the care label to make sure you're willing to wash it as recommended," says Sachs. "Most are machine washable, but some are dry clean only, have front-loading machine restrictions, or only allow spot-treating. Your pillow will last longer if you wash it two to four times a year, and if you use a pillow protector to keep it clean and safe from wear."5. Test it out before you commit.Just like you would when you buy a mattress, you should rest your head on a pillow to see if it's right for you. If you can, try it out for at least 10 minutes in the store, but if that's not possible, test it at home before removing the plastic wrap. If you feel your neck tipping forward or backward, or have any other discomfort, return it.6.
