Something cut a hole in my bed sheets, I think it was Dan’s toenails (don’t say anything.) They’re deadly. The hole started off small, and soon became this massive rip all the way across the bed. Totally trashed.
I have never been more grateful for those gangly toenails because NOW I have the BEST SHEETS EVER. It gave me all the excuse I needed to buy a couple more sets of sheets. So, being the product junky that I am…I read reviews…which led me to my new lover, Nouvelle Legende Microfiber Coral Fleece Sheets. It’s quite the name, for quite the sheets.
Ew, I just noticed (right now) that I paid $25 bucks too much for these babies, they are way cheaper at Costco.com than Amazon. What a geek.
So, the shabby picture above leaves a lot to be desired…but, the minute I slipped into these sheets, all of my wildest dreams came true. Okay, yuck. But, really…these are literally the softest, most float-on-cloud sheets I have ever laid my eyes and body on. When I first bought them, I was like, “What? These aren’t sheets.” They look like a thin, cuddly blanket. But, I went with it, put them on my bed and have been dreaming of unicorns and gumdrops, ever since.
When Dan saw the sheets on the bed, he said, “What?? No. How can I call myself a man, if I sleep on those?” But, he did. He had to, it’s not like he will ever change the sheets. ouch! When he woke up in the morning, he was like, “That was nice!!” And…he was talking about the sheets.
Oh, and FYI…these are not summer sheets, which I’m dreading the warm weather, now. They’re cozy and warm, perfect for these chilly Utah days.
I should probably mention that there is a runner-up in my warm/cozy sheets search…the Pinzon 200 Gram Supima Velvet Flannel Sheets. The price seems to fluctuate based on availability, which is really lame…and, they run out of the needed colors. But, I loved these sheets enough to buy them for all of my kid’s beds. They’re especially great for the chilly basement bedrooms. They’re super soft, warm, and a top-rated product.
In parting, let me leave you with a handful more of the best rated products for your bed:
The greatest and best reviewed pillow available is “Z” by Malouf. It perfectly cradles your head, supporting your neck and back. Cozy like a down pillow, but it bounces right back into place. Reviewers go nuts over it, saying it is the “perfect” pillow.
Malouf also wins for the greatest mattress protector. It’s Amazon’s top rated! Check out this product description, crazy stuff:
“Every night your body sheds millions of skin flakes and loses up to one liter of body fulid through your skin pores and mouth. Up to 2 million dust mites can live in your unprotected mattress. Dust mites survivie on dead skin cells and bodily fluids. Allergic reactions are caused by the waste and skin these dust mites leave behind. Exposure to dust mites has been proven to lead to the development of asthma in young children. Allergens produced by dust mites are the most common trigger for asthmatics. Dust mites have been shown to be a leading cause of eczema. LinenSpa mattress protectors cut off the food supply to dust mites, making it impossible for them to survive. The breathable material, consisting of a cotton terry top and polyurethane on the back, maintains a comfortable sleeping temperature and is noiseless.”
The owner of the company is also a good friend of mine, and fellow “she”…see her post on Pillows 101.
