sheets: cosy and soft nest

I promised since my first blog I would talk about sheets, not only as printed fabrics, but as that cosy and soft nest that wraps you in your sleep and cuddles you as you wake up!

I don't know what's for you, but for me slipping under the blanket at night is one of the best moments of the day, and if you want to fully enjoy that moment, a soft and scented fabric is essential!
Where can we start from? Ethnic, classic, printed, colorful, luxury or perfumed?

First of all history: if the most famous sheet in the world is definitely the  “Holy Shroud”, in which Jesus Christ's body was wrapped after his death and upon which an impression ofhis Holy face remained, the most famous are the ones used by ghosts and prisoners! Even if it may sound like  a joke, every year dozens of prisoners escape from jails using ropes made of sheets! 

Not the last, some prisoners from Pittsburgh made a 60 meters long rope to escape: very resistant I would say!!!!





Going back to the choice of sheets, it is essential to understand what kind of fabric you want to fall asleep with!

If your sleep needs the maximum care, a very luxurious solution is the sheet created by Charlotte Thomas:  made of merino wool,  22 carat gold threads and Indian silk. What sweet dreams!





If you dream about exotic countries,  the ideal would be to choose cotton fabrics that recall this adventurous world.

On this website you will find a lot of ideas to enrich your dreams with!

Anyway the most exotic and luxurious cotton remains the  Egyptian one: its weft and processing make it as soft and light as a feather! It's like slipping into a cloud!




Are you looking for color? Personally I love Desigual's patterns and chromatic choices

but for the most demanding or for those that want to design their own dreams, the best idea is definitely to choose the pattern personally  and print it on wonderful 100% cotton fabrics !
If you want to do that, this is the right site!

Linen is one of the most ancient fabrics, and one of the most used for sleeping, the  weft of its structure is fresh and its fibers are good for health and for the body. 

If you think of linen, for sure you want a bright and plain fabric; you can find very good solutions on




There has ever been great demand for silk, so that it has become one of the symbols of luxury in bedrooms seen in movies!

An extraordinary testimonial was Marilyn Monroe, who only used to wear silk and sleep in silk!

I'm sure the website  http://www.manitosilk.com/
can satisfy your curiosity and your silk purchases!




A last touch of design, to stimulate your senses at best during your sleep, the perfume for your bed: “Sensi Scandia” proposes  fragrances that are  ideal for sheets and pillows!




And now I wish you sweet dreams!!
Stay tuned
