In many ways, I am a pretty typical guy. Although I have done better in recent years, I am still not the best housekeeper. When I am living on my own, I use whatever sheets and blankets I happen to have around. The last ones I had, in fact, had holes in them and had not been replaced in years. I keep things reasonably clean, but I'm not the type of person to worry about appearances. I certainly don't invest in such frivolities as luxury bed sheets.
When I first got involved with Lorraine, my current girlfriend, everything changed. She was definitely a luxury sheets kind of girl. I'm not talking about luxury silk sheets either – those are reasonably affordable nowadays. She would use nothing but Egyptian cotton bed sheets. You might assume that she is rich and spoiled, but she isn't. She spends little money on entertainment, preferring to stay at home and read a good book when she gets some free time. She just enjoys the good things in life – comfortable clothing, a home-cooked meal, and excellent sleeping arrangements.
When she first told me that luxury sheets help her sleep better, I was quite skeptical. Bedsheets are bedsheets, or so I thought. I have slept on what I thought were luxury hotel sheets before, and I didn't notice much of a difference. The first night I spent at her house, however, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The luxury sheets were actually amazing! They felt so smooth and comfortable against my skin that I fell right asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow. She hadn't really expressed disapproval of my house, but nevertheless I quickly changed the way I was living. Maybe there was something to be said about leather furniture and luxurious sheets after all!
Fortunately, I took her with me when I went out to buy a luxury sheet. I am so glad that I did. Bedding is not an area that most consumers know much about. There are a lot of people there, in fact, who will fleece you, selling you mediocre products for greatly inflated price. Unless you know good quality from bad quality (or happen to have a girlfriend who does) you won't get the real, genuine article. Trust me, you will know the difference when you experience it. Luxury sheets are worth doing a bit of research before you shop!
