That is my age: quality bed linen


One of my friends recently confessed to having reached the age when, if there's a sex scene in a movie, she ignores the bedroom Olympics and homes in on the quality of the sheets. And I can relate to that. My latest obsession is not a fancy handbag or the latest Isabel Marant wedge hi-top but luxury bed linen from Toast. We have two sets already, but I need more. We mid-lifers may not have the energy to count sheep - I'm asleep as soon as my head hits that Egyptian cotton pillow - but counting threads per square inch, now, that I can stay awake for.

These days it's the quality of the sheets not what goes on between them that matters.


My favourite for summer: the Aegean collection. In organic cotton.

  1. I am so with you .. but to my own slavery as I have to iron it .. I stated with 800tc.. but I think that maybe 600 is better as it is easier to iron ... but quality sheets are my OCD xx

  2. I do love Egyptian cotton sheets. Mind you mine are from the sale in Matalan at £2 a pop so not sure whether they'd be quite as luxe as your Toast ones. x

  4. Oh I LOVE Toast bed linen. I have a charcoal grey brushed cotton duvet cover and sheets set in UK. Quite my favourite for Winter. Have had it for about 5 years and it gets better and better. Don't iron it though!! Just the pillowcases! X

  5. I´m so old-fashioned, that I prefer all white bed linen.
    I´d need new bed linen.
    Over here, we are able to buy Lexington company´s bed linen, and though expensive, they seem to last forever, which they also do.
    Actually, my hb +me only need two sets.
    No piles of linen to iron.

  6. My husband was amazed by the first set of Egyptian cotton sheets I purchased for us. Over and over, he said he could FEEL the difference.

  7. Surely it is a combination of both the quality of the sheets and what goes on between them ;-) Xxxx

  8. I remember watching that Kim Basinger/Mickey Rourke movie where he drops food into her mouth and drizzles honey on her. All I wanted to know was why wouldn't they close the darn fridge already and who was going to clean all the honey off the floor?

  11. I think if i talk about Bed linen then Egyptian Bed linen and cotton sheets are best which is believe. If you want to buy best quality Bed linen or some other household Product then you search on the Internet, so many company direct sell these type of product at cheap price. Last week my friend purchased Hotel Towels for his hotel from a UK's company known as
    "Linens Trader" at wholesale price.
