Feeling Good

Written by Carly McClintock

There is just no better feeling than slipping into some freshly washed sheets after a shower and a long day. Am I right? I am sure many of you will agree, that snuggling in to a luxurious set of sheets is simple pleasure that soothes us into our nightly slumber. So, as I lay curled up in my lovely linen, I have a chuckle, thinking about my early adult life, where thread counts, and fibres were never on the agenda. Hand-me-downs here, and polyester sheets there, were sufficient. Those were the days with less sleep and more adventures to be had. Now as a grown woman, I get terribly excited to purchase a nice set of sheets…AND get a full night’s sleep! The tables have certainly turned! And I am not talking about the sheet that we all rocked at a Toga party, or the ones we use for loungeroom cubby houses. I am talking about the ones that have all the feels and comforts anyone could ask for, and to rest that weary body at the end of your busy day. I can guarantee, once you invest in a lovely set, you will never look back! The bed sheet has come a long way and we are embracing natural and organic fibres just like the Egyptians did many years ago. They paved the way growing, cultivating and creating beautiful textiles with their fine cottons and linens. Today we continue to nurture these fibres into luxury bedding. Natural fibres are my go-to choice and I encourage you to do the same, especially when we sleep a third of our lifetime. I believe that we all should have a little luxury in our lives and something to sleep on, that feels amazingly good that you just won’t want to get out of bed!

Finding the perfect sheet

• The higher the thread count does not necessarily mean a better sheet; it is the quality of cottons/fibres used in the making. • Natural fibres like cotton are cooler and breathable, strong yet soft. • Bamboo sheets are sustainable, softer than cotton and linen, hypoallergenic and moisture absorbing keeping you cool and comfortable. • Linen sheets made from flax fibres are a big hit now with its ventilating properties, cool feeling and ideal for those with skin conditions and allergies.
