Luxury is in the eye of the enjoyer. For some, luxury sheets are those that have the highest thread count. For others, they are the ones that keep them coziest on cold nights. And for us, luxury is having two sets of sheets so we can be as lazy as we want on laundry day.
If we only have one set of sheets, we only have one day to launder them and put them back on the bed. Laundry day often falling on a weekend, we often totter off to bed with a few glasses of red wine in our bellies, only to realize the sheets are still in the dryer. Then we must tipsily make the bed. And we already have a hard enough time orienting the fitted sheet correctly while sober.
So to keep an extra set of sheets ready and waiting for laundry day is for us the height of luxury. Then we can make the bed whenever and however we please, not just at 11pm and angrily.
We’re not saying these aren’t nice sheets. They are. They’re not going to win any awards or anything, but does anybody even hand out awards for linens? We don’t think so. Our point is: These sheets are nice. And you get two sets of them.
Maybe you already own two sets of sheets. Congratulations on being an adult. You can use these as your “guest linens” and still enjoy the above-mentioned luxury of owning two sets should your guests stay through laundry day.
Maybe you don’t keep a regular “laundry day” but simply do the laundry when you run out of clean underwear. In that case you definitely need a second set of sheets. You’ve already demonstrated a lack of foresight and preparedness vis a vis laundry, so the chances that you’ll remember to strip the bed, wash the sheets, and put them back on the the mattress before bedtime are slim.
Maybe luxury for you means something else when it comes to sheets. Like we said before, it’s in the eye of the enjoyer. In that case you can use these sheets as fodder for practicing how to fold a fitted sheet.
Or you could just not buy them. That’s always an option.
