We have an emergency on our hands folks. A sheet emergency.
Don’t believe me? I give you Exhibit A:
And Exhibit B:
In case you can’t tell, those sheets are actually on our bed because they’re the only ones we have right now. I have no idea how they got torn. I can only guess that something happened during the wash cycle and it’s gone downhill from there. We’ve lived with the holes the past few months but finally reached our breaking point a couple of days ago with the CPA woke up twisted in the sheets with his arms stuck through the holes.
That’s when I realized something would have to be done and done soon.
The problem is that I have no idea where to buy sheets. We’d like to keep the cost under $200 but we want nice sheets too, preferably 500 count and above. Is that an impossible request? Apparently it is because I haven’t been able to find anything so far. I’ve found a few possibilities on Amazon but with only one or two stars given by other users, I’m hesitant to give them a try.
I do want to mention that even though we may have holey sheets, they’re warm holey sheets. On the recommendation of my mother, we recently purchased a mattress warmer to use during these cold winter months. Can I just say that they are absolutely heavenly? The idea is to turn them on about a half hour before getting into bed so they can warm up. It doesn’t act as a heating pad as it doesn’t get that hot but rather it is just warm enough to make the bed nice and cozy. Which is perfect for us since our room is over the garage and during cold weather months our bed is freezing.
That’s probably why I’ve been able to ignore the state of our sheets – having a warm bed will do that to you. But I can’t ignore it anymore, they must be replaced. If they’re not, the CPA might wake up with his head stuck in the hole next time. How embarrassing would that be? Okay, it would be a little funny too, but still…
Any suggestions of where to buy good sheets?
