Like most husbands and wives, we have different body temperatures. He's always cold; I'm always burning up. I sleep with just a sheet barely touching me and he's covered over his head with sheets, blankets and comforters. He's even been known to wear a stocking cap! So, when winter arrived, the battle began again. To keep him warm, the bed was loaded with blankets, which made me...

My master bedroom is decorated in deep burgundy reds with navy blue accents. My husband and I each have a cozy chair by the bed, and I love to keep  lots of warm throws nearby to snuggle up with, when I read a book, or watch TV.This is a beautiful red velvet burgundy quilt throw, that had a bonus tote bag made of the same material. The quilt can be kept in the tote bag, or the tote ba...

I thought I had used good towels before, but these towels are truly luxurious. I bought bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. I purchased mine in the store, but there is a wider range of colors online. The colors are actually arranged in color collections. The collections contain four variations of the same color. For example, the collection from which I made my selection was the Laven...

Sleep is one of the most important part of our lives, yet most of us don't get enough or what we get is not restful. Needing an improvement in our own bed, we purchased a new Serta mattress.We were overwhelmed as we researched the various brands, trying to find the best one for us. Going from store to store and trying to figure out which one suited both of us was  a major headache...

To me, there is nothing better than sleeping in a cool room, under an electric blanket.  Of course, my boyfriend isn't too crazy about being too warm.  That's where the Sunbeam Dual Control Electric Blanket comes in handy. I love this blanket.  During the cooler months of the year, I turn the heat down before heading to bed and turn on my Sunbeam blanket.  By the ...

Recently, I got a new Berkshire Blanket Softest Microloft Blanket Full/Queen blanket from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was originally $30.00; I used a 20% off coupon, making the price $24. The blanket is super soft, smooth and cuddly. It is light, so it is not too heavy for summer. Despite its lightness, I think it would still be good for winter because it keeps me warm.My blanket measure 90" ...

When my daughter graduated from high school, and moved out, I decided to do a makeover on her small room. My thought was to create a mini-retreat for myself; another room where I could write and find escape. My favorite theme throughout my house is a mixture of Victorian and Oriental design. I have found that the two flow quite well together. My daughter's room is painted a soft pink, with ...

Sealy Posturepedic pillows- These are nice pillows. I got these at JC Penneys when I got tired of buying cheap low quality pillows. These have 3 year warranty. Sealy Posturepedic pillows are advertised to never go flat and have extra firm support. These pillows have 305 thread count and the cover is made out of 100% cotton.  The iside is made of a polyester foam inner core surrounded by...

I am sure that I have found the softest blanket on earth. The first day that I touched a Serasoft blanket, I was in love! There is no way to adequately describe the texture of this amazing blanket. It is simply heavenly. My mom, who is elderly, seems to always be cold these days. So when I learned that she would be in a nursing home for rehabilitation, for quite awhile, I knew that sh...

When my husband’s dad passed away recently, Mom got to have the wonderful new bed we had just bought him to use in the assisted living facility we had to move him to. So when she got the new bed, we took her old one for our spare room, so now we have a guest room. (That is a first for us!).  Yesterday, we had new windows put in Mom’s whole house, which meant she needed som...

I love my bed. Everything on it is soft and comforting. Since my husband died last year, this has become extremely important to me. Transforming our bed into my own space helps me move forward away from grief. I've put alot of thought into the fabrics for this new space. Especially my blanket. It had to be a "binkie" (security blanket) in both feel and material. Pure cot...

I went to Sears for a garden hose, and while I was walking to the garden department, I happened to pass a display of pillows on sale.  Although I wasn't in the market for a new bed pillow, I'm always looking for the "one" that will give me firm comfort.  I looked through the bins, squishing, and squeezing each pillow as I rummaged.  Finally, I came across the Se...

 This is the best pillow I have ever purchased. It is a memory foam pillow that forms perfectly to your face and neck. Since purchasing the pillow I am sleeping better at night. I do not wake up as frequently and feel better when I wake up during the morning. My job requires me to on call once a month. I usually do not sleep well during those nights but since getting the Supreme Dreams Per...

I didn't have to think too hard about why the Whole Home Antique Floral Comforter Set that was originally $129.99 had hit the clearance rank at Sears for only $24.97. One look at the red and orange striped pillow shams with the huge embroidered flower in the corner was enough to make me shiver and say, "Yeesh!" instead of "Yes!"But the pillow shams are just accent p...

Lately I have been trying to replace some of our sheets because they are old and have shrunk some over the years. These sheets were originally $55 but they were about half off, price wise, so we decided to try them.JC Penney 300 TC Sheets are, the TC stands for thread count, are made from a cotton-rich/polyester blend material. The fitted sheet has elastic all around it for a great fit. The fit...

I was in Kmart doing some shopping and decided to browse the bed and linen section where I spotted Essential Home Giant Bed Pillows on sale. The pillow normally sales for $6.99 and was listed for $4.00. It's a good thing that I walked down the aisle because the same pillow at the end of the aisle did not reflect the sale price. I double checked the price at an in-store bar scanner and when ...

Before my brother moved my mother out of assisted living, I had decorated her room with beautiful reds and whites. Her bed was a queen-sized, and I chose what appeared to be a lovely 3-Piece Comforter Set from Walmart. It gave the appearance of almost a solid red, even though there were light red vertical stripes on the comforter. It also came with two matching shams. I have bought comforters b...

I love my double pillowtop mattress, but have a terrible time finding sheets that fit well. Nothing is worse than paying good money for bed linens that don't fit. Or if they do fit, they wear out far too quickly. Fieldcrest solves that problem on both counts. Years ago I bought two sets of these luxury sheets. My husband loved them because they fit tightly and yet were incredibly soft and s...

You have not had a truly wonderful night's sleep until you've slept on these luxurious sheets!  The high thread count and combed cotton mean that these sheets are silky soft and comfortable against your skin.  No pilling, no scratchiness!  My husband laughed at me when I told him how incredible these sheets would be to sleep on.  And then he tried them for himse...

I recieved this sheet set as a Christmas gift from my sister. I liked the summer blue color, and it is a nice change from my standard pink or white sheet sets.I have never bought sheets from Wal-Mart before, so I was skeptical of how soft these sheets would be. I normally like a little higher thread count. I finally put these Mainstay sheets on my bed, and I was impressed with the softness. The...
