OK, no broomsticks, but, after a lengthy discussion Cindy and I are officially announcing that we are Bed Snobs!
How did this come to be? It was harmless enough, what seemed like idle chatter with Paulie became a better understanding of the material upon which one sleeps. Who knew that thread count was important? Sure there was the fact that 400 thread count beats the hell out of the rough 200 or 210, but, who knew that 800 and 1,000 was even better? I mean, we do spend about 1/3 of our life in BED. Why not make it a pleasant experience, like, everyday. So once we had the right sheets, it was time to get the right BED. Enter his Lloydness!
Not only did Lloyd "Big Box" Spring provided the right mattress (think visco elastic foam topper....aka Temperpedic), he reached out into the mammoth world of furniture and brought in the BED, too. We were building on the theme, but, yet, there was one thing missing.
Aha, the bedspread! It had to be crisp, clean, sleek, and made from damn expensive Italian cotton. Actually, it didn't "have to be made" from damn Italian cotton, it just so happens that the one we found at Restoration Hardware (aka Expensive As Shit Store) was the one we felt measured up to our standards.
The result of all this is that we love getting into our bed.
The downside is that we have found ourselves quite critical of the bedding at the hotels were we have stayed. This kind of bed snobbery can be quite a shame! For now, it will just have to be something we and you live with....
Viva Paulie
Viva Lloyd
Viva A Good Nights Sleep
