I have evolved some in the past year. I bought better sheets, ones that were affordable yet comfy. But I did not own a set of nice sheets until I got Luxome’s luxury sheet set made of bamboo. They’re so nice, I call them my fancy sheets. Getting into the Luxome luxury sheets is like sliding into a cool, silky cocoon. Night after night, they feel cooling and soft. They’re 400 thread count with a sateen weave, and the deep pockets (17”) keep them generally in place on my deep mattress. I got mine in the very trendy sage green, and there are nine other colors available. They do wrinkle easily, but as long as you take them out of the dryer fairly soon after washing them and fold them nicely, they look fine on the bed. The pillowcases have a really nice envelope closure that helps to keep the pillow secured in the case and the pesky, itchy pillow tag tucked away. The moment that really affirmed for me the excellence of these sheets was when my partner first called them “the fancy sheets.” By chance we had gotten two new sets of sheets and the Luxome luxury sheets within the same month, and still when he told me that he really loved “the fancy sheets,” I knew exactly which set he was talking about. And so that’s what we call the Luxome set, because that’s how it feels to sleep in them. With the sheets on the bed, I get to imagine that I am staying the night in a luxury five-star hotel or that I might wake up the next morning in an episode of Bridgerton. It doesn’t matter that my bedroom is tiny, my bed frame is plain, and my dog has left shards of its half-chewed bone on the comforter—my bed has the fancy sheets on it, and I am fancy when I sleep in them.
