One of my friends recently confessed to having reached the age when, if there's a sex scene in a movie, she ignores the bedroom Olympics and homes in on the quality of the sheets. And I can relate to that. My latest obsession is not a fancy handbag or the latest Isabel Marant wedge hi-top but luxury bed linen from Toast. We have two sets already, but I need more. We mid-lifers may not have the energy to count sheep - I'm asleep as soon as my head hits that Egyptian cotton pillow - but counting threads per square inch, now, that I can stay awake for.
These days it's the quality of the sheets not what goes on between them that matters.

I am so with you .. but to my own slavery as I have to iron it .. I stated with 800tc.. but I think that maybe 600 is better as it is easier to iron ... but quality sheets are my OCD xx
I do love Egyptian cotton sheets. Mind you mine are from the sale in Matalan at £2 a pop so not sure whether they'd be quite as luxe as your Toast ones. x
Yes, that Mimosa pattern is so gorgeous and would suit me just fine -- better than a sex scene any given day! : >
Oh I LOVE Toast bed linen. I have a charcoal grey brushed cotton duvet cover and sheets set in UK. Quite my favourite for Winter. Have had it for about 5 years and it gets better and better. Don't iron it though!! Just the pillowcases! X
I´m so old-fashioned, that I prefer all white bed linen.
I´d need new bed linen.
Over here, we are able to buy Lexington company´s bed linen, and though expensive, they seem to last forever, which they also do.
Actually, my hb +me only need two sets.
No piles of linen to iron.
My husband was amazed by the first set of Egyptian cotton sheets I purchased for us. Over and over, he said he could FEEL the difference.
Surely it is a combination of both the quality of the sheets and what goes on between them ;-) Xxxx
I remember watching that Kim Basinger/Mickey Rourke movie where he drops food into her mouth and drizzles honey on her. All I wanted to know was why wouldn't they close the darn fridge already and who was going to clean all the honey off the floor?
You have ust reminded me of a deep deep love that I had long forgotten!
This brand is heaven sent. I am a sucker for their laundry baskets!!
xx
ps. looking forward to sharing a beer in berlin!
