Way back when I went to Blogher, way back in August, I went to the expo hall in search of a bed. Now, that sounds like I may have had nefarious purposes, but that really wasn't the case at all.
Every single blog her, Tarrant and I take a picture in a bed. That kind of sounds strange, but it's a tradition that I hold dear. Every year, I find her, find a bed, we jump in and take a picture. Two Bloghers ago, I found a bed, and ended up winning it. So this past Blogher, I wondered if I would have similar luck. Not that I need another bed, but there are other things that you need besides the bed.
I was supremely lucky. I found a vendor that had a bed on display. I jumped in the bed, and immediately realized that the sheets that were on the bed or anything but standard. Further inquiry revealed that these miraculously soft, cooling, and very comfortable sheets were called SHEEX.
Sheex are sheets that are anything but traditional. From the website:
Better Sleep Leads to Better Performance. That's why we have created Sheex, the world's first luxury performance bed sheets. Sheex were inspired by the finest professional-quality athletic fabrics, offering a superior level of comfort and performance to help you sleep better.
I won a pair of sheets, brought them home and put them on my bed. They are my favorite sheets. My husband was a little bit upset that his bed doesn't have them – we have two twin Tempur-pedics that we put together – but that's too bad. I'm in need of sheets that keep me cool, and he definitely is not. They are ridiculously soft, breathable and moisture wicking.
WIN in my book.
Want to win a pair of Sheex for yourself?
One lucky winner will! To enter, click here. You have to click over - you can't enter here - but someone is going to win themselves a set of sheets that will make you want to stay in bed alllll day long.

Silk, not that I actually own them, lol!

I'd love to try some of those sheets. We need new sheets anyway. Ahem.
I used to love flannel sheets until I started, um, 'going through the change'. Stupid menopause.

Ridiculously high thread count cotton-- the kind we would never buy for ourselves, but my grandma is a sheet snob too and gifted us a set for Christmas 4 years ago... The only sheets ever on our bed (if I kid pukes we are screwed and resort to sleeping bags while they wash)

Plain old cotton are my favorite.. There's just something about the smell and feel of slipping between a set of clean cotton sheets fresh from the dryer.... It's the simple things that do it for me. :)

I love crisp sheets. Pottery Barn sheets are pretty great!

OMG. I totally had a "Wait, they don't sleep in the same bed? TMI!" moment before I read on about the beds being pushed together. Which sounds totally scandalous, by the way!
How do I choose just one pair of favorite sheets? I love sheets. I guess it's a toss-up between my beech cotton ones, which are warm and slippery and sleek and soft or my 400-thread count purple ones that my mom got me. I am NOT a thread count snob, because I've felt very expensive 800-thread-count sheets that really weren't that great, but these ones are. I also love my Target Simply Shabby Chic ones that are light and crisp in the summer.
