My grandmother was the kind of woman who collected coupons and saved her pennies in a jar.  Every cent was accounted for and she remembered hard times in her youth.  Her bed was stiff with cardboard sheets and a fussy old-fashioned comforter.  It never changed and grandma was always very satisfied with it.

When I got my first place, my first desire was to get a comfortable bed.  After living in a small room with a twin bed, I stretched out to a queen size bed.  I added a plush feather bed, puffy down pillows and a soft down comforter with a decorative duvet cover.  My new bedroom was the ultimate oasis for total comfort.

When my grandmother came to visit, she could not resist my bed.  “It looks like a bed from a Hollywood movie!” she exclaimed.

I smiled slyly and encouraged her to try it herself.  After a few protests, grandma finally gave in.  She sank into the cushy feather bed and sighed with total joy.  “Wow, this is great!”  Grandma laid for a few minutes just soaking up the total comfort of down.

The next time I went to  Grandma’s I noticed she had a down featherbed, comforter and pillows.  She caught me admiring her new down bedding and said with a smile, “It was finally time for a change!”

The summer flew by and it’s already time for back-to-school. If your teen is headed off to higher education and a college dorm, new bedding sheets are essential to get that “home away from home” feeling.

With just a desk, chair and bed in a dorm room, most college students spend the majority of their time sprawled across their beds. Comfortable, cotton bedding sheets give even the dingiest dorm room a more welcoming feel. No matter how far away from home your teen is, home feels a little closer with soft cotton bedding sheets.

Cotton is durable and breathable, making it ideal for busy college students. Choose a higher thread count for silky softness your teen is sure to appreciate after a long day of studying. Add a puffy down comforter and down pillow to really spoil your teen. After all, your teen is sure to spend countless hours lying across the bed. Cotton bedding sheets and down bedding will keep your teen warm and happy even when you’re not there to give a hug.

Send your teen to college with an ongoing hug when you wrap their bed up in luxurious cotton bedding sheets and decadent down comforters and pillows.


If you’re looking for an elegant way to update your bed for the fall, consider tonal checkered sheets and warm down comforters. When the first fall chill sets in, you want to be ready for it. Slide between soft cotton checkered sheets and a puffy down comforter for a comfortable, restful sleep.

Luxurious Egyptian cotton 300 thread count checkered sheets and accessories are the perfect fall decorating accent. Completely update your bed for the cooler weather with checkered sheets and a matching duvet cover set. Protect your down comforter when you dress it up with a matching checkered duvet cover. Your bed will have a uniform look like some of the finest hotels.

A major benefit of using Egyptian cotton checkered sheets is this type of bedding won’t pile up on your bed as badly as everyday plain sateen sheets. Checkered weave holds up the yard better to avoid unwanted bunching.

Choose checkered sheets in fabulous fall colors including taupe, white, chocolate, blue, tan, burgundy, ivory, black and sage. Consider attractive color combination such as chocolate and sage, white and blue, burgundy and tan, taupe and blue or classic black with white or ivory.

No matter which colors you prefer, your bed will be ready for those longer fall nights with checkered sheets and a matching duvet cover.

When shopping for luxury cotton bedding sheets, you would typically consider the thread count before buying. The higher the thread count, the more soft and durable the bedding.

Add maximum comfort to your bed with high thread count cotton featherbed covers.

Your bed simply isn’t complete without a cushioned featherbed. When you place a featherbed on your mattress, you literally sink right into a peaceful night’s sleep. Take care of your valuable down featherbed with a quality featherbed cover to keep it looking and feeling fabulous for years.

Many fine featherbed covers are 200+ thread count in 100 percent cotton for total softness.  You’ll feel the difference as soon as you settle into bed.  Choose from a 2” gusset or 5” gusset based on the thickness of your featherbed. Featherbed covers also conveniently come in twin, full, queen and king sizes to accommodate every bed.

One of my best friends is a bachelor who wishes he wasn’t. He never tried to be a ladies’ man and maybe that’s part of the problem. His neat demeanor and extremely tidy home seem to threaten women and them the other way.

I told him he had to make his bedroom more inviting. The flat mattress and sensible white sheets simply weren’t inviting. Since he’s on the budget, we checked out affordable Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy discount featherbeds. When he discovered the ease of shopping online, I was able to get his bedroom decorated in a female-friendly fashion.

The results were stellar. Instead of watching women make excuses, my friend found a fabulous lady who was lured by discount featherbeds. They lounged around in his updated bedroom amidst the comfort of those silky Egyptian cotton sheets and a puffy down featherbed. Who can resist a man with a bed that hugs you all on its own? It seems she fell in love with him and that awesome bed because they’re talking about moving in together…

Make your bedroom a seductive oasis with irresistible down pillows and discount featherbeds. After all, these simple decorating updates worked for my awkward friend!

A luxury bedroom sheet typically invites us to a restful night’s sleep. Traditionally made with a high cotton thread count, a luxury bedroom sheet is silky, breathable and beautiful. So why would a women want three holes cut in her luxury hotel bedding sheets?

According to AOL travel, a undisclosed American singer visited Dom Pedro Palace for a visit. The singer made an unusual request during her stay. She asked the hotel to make three holes in the bedsheets so she could sleep in them. Nobody is sure why this odd request was made.

As bedding experts, frankly we’re stymied. We have a few ideas why someone would ask for three holes in a luxury bedroom sheet, so here goes:

  • she wanted to “air out” which isn’t necessary when you choose high quality Egyptian cotton bedding sheets that naturally breathe;

  • she participates in unknown customs for an unusual religion or group;

  • she was organizing a ghostly toga party; or perhaps

  • she simply wanted to wander around playing ghost in the privacy of her own room with special friends.

To be honest, we find our customers prefer a luxury bedding sheet with no holes.  There’s nothing quite like new, pristine sheets in perfect condition!

A down comforter is not just for people living in Alaska or Canada. Down bedding comes in a variety of weights which means there is a down comforter for every season of the year. With different colors, qualities and sizes to choose from, the possibilities are unlimited. It’s not just for those bone chilling nights in the winter, it also is available in light weight for those cool summer nights. Before you buy your new down comforter, it is important to get some basic information, making it easier to find just the right comforter to fit your nighttime needs.

What is your ideal comfort zone? Do you like layers and layers of blankets to sleep with? Or is a lightweight blanket all you need? Down blankets and down comforters come in a variety of weights and fill, so there is something for everyone’s taste. With just the right comforter comes a comfortable night’s sleep.

How much fill power do you really need? Fill power is used to describe the quality of the down; the higher the fill power, the larger and stronger the clusters of down. The larger clusters provide more insulation which gives more warmth. So in order to get the warmth you need, compare the “fill power” from different manufacturers. You don’t want to buy more than you need, but you don’t want too little either. Find out what is right for you.

Yes, it is the fill power that determines the softness and warmth of your down comforter, but to maintain that fluffiness all that down needs to stay inside the comforter. By investing in a high thread count, tightly woven cover, you won’t have to worry about leakage. Look for a thread count of at least 230.

What size is your bed? Do you have a “standard” sized bed or is your bed a special size? When you invest in a comforter, you want something that is going to completely cover the bed. If you have a Queen sized bed, maybe you should stay away from the Queen/Full quilt. Likewise with the King and California King. To be absolutely sure, measure your bed. Don’t forget to allow for the hangover in the sides.

When you invest in a quality down comforter, you want to take the best care of it. While it is possible to wash a down comforter, you can increase the life of your comforter by fitting it with a duvet cover - a large pillowcase for your blanket. The duvet cover can add color and style to your quilt.
