Holy . . . . Sheet!

I have to write to tell you about our new sheets. Yes, bed sheets. Sheets are very important in my opinion, if you don't select the write thread count they might be itchy. And, if you pick the wrong fiber contenct, they won't wear nicely and you could end up with pilling. I've also been reading a lot about sustainability in fabric selection. Organic cottons, bamboo, etc.

The sheets I selected are Pure Beech Santeen produced for Bed Bath and Beyond. I love them!! With one exception which I will get to later.

The packaging states that they are "made from Modal, a high strength fiber regenerated from the Beechwood trees of Europe. The process is conducted in accordance with ecological standards and sustainability. Pure Beech sheets contain no pesticides, or toxic substances. Modal is an extra smooth fiber. Therefore sheets made from Modal will keep soft and radiant wash after wash."

What do I love about them. I love the feel of them. They feel soft like silk but are easy to care for. Just thrown them in the washing machine like my old sheets. I like the color. They are taupe - it reminds me of hot chocolate which goes perfectly with our bedroom.

There is one downside that we are experiencing. And that it that the fitted sheet does not like to stay on the bed. It keeps popping on one corner. I'm not sure if it is how I roll over when sleeping or that it might be sticking to my flannel pj's. But, it is kind of annoying to wake up with no sheet underneath you. I have some of the elastic sheet straps that I'm going to dig out of my junk drawer to hold them down. Keep your fingers crossed that it works. Either way, I love the sheets and am willing to deal with this slight annoyance.
