Egyptian Cotton

When I was invited to a housewarming party for one of my best friends, I instantly knew what to get her.  She and her husband had just completed their dream home and she’d found the perfect black four-poster California King sized bed for the master suite. A bed like this deserves the finest in luxury bedding so I bought her a set of Cal King Egyptian cotton sheets. 

My introduction to Egyptian cotton sheets was an accident. About 8 years ago, I had my flight home canceled due to bad weather. The airlines put us up in a 5 star hotel for the night. When I climbed into bed, I instantly noticed something different about the sheets. They were softer and thicker than normal cotton. When I asked the hotel staff, they informed me that they only used Egyptian cotton for their bedding. The following day the weather cleared and I was finally able to return home. But somehow my bed just wasn’t the same. Since then, I only use Egyptian cotton for my bed at home. I’m sure my best friend will do the same once she tries out the sheets I’m giving her.

When I go home, what I really like is to have everything there be as close to my specifications as possible.  I like to know that the kitchen is clean and ready to be cooked in, the bathroom is polished, and the bedroom has clean full size Egyptian cotton sheets nicely pressed and draped.

 My job is so stressful that when I get off of work, there shouldn’t be anything in the way of my complete comfort and happiness.  That’s just how I like my home, and I work hard to keep it organized that way.
