I bet you think your sheets are pretty soft and comfy. If so, think about this – imagine trying to sleep on a burlap bag. The scratchy, itchy, rough, and prickly fibers would keep you up all night. When you compare your sheets and blankets to the 7 most expensive sheets in the world, you might as well be sleeping on burlap or even that pink fiberglass insulation inside your walls.
The Superstars of Luxury Bed Linens
In case your butler needs a refresher, here's a quick overview of the best and most expensive sheets ever.
7.) Dreamsacks Seamless Silk
These sheets retailed for around $655 for the set a couple of years ago. They're probably even more now. One thing that makes them so expensive is the charmeuse trim and silk piping on them. They also have a special satin weave that creates a shiny surface on one side of the sheet and a matte finish on the other. This gives the sheets and pillow cases a dramatic look and an exquisite feel.
6.) Sferra Capri Honey Egyptian Cotton – Sweeeeeeeet
These retail for about the same price as #7. They're made in Italy, where some of the most expensive textiles in the world are created. Egyptian Cotton is among the finest available, and it's fashioned in such a way as to create "pure perfection" sateen.
5.) Milos 1020TC Sateen
"TC" stands for thread count, and these sheet sets boast an extremely high thread count of 1020. When you touch one of these sheets, it feels like no other. Here again, Egyptian Cotton is the "gossamer yarn" artisans use to form exquisite sheets.
4.) Millesimo by Sferra
At almost $1,500 a set, these sheets claim the 4th spot on your list. Each is handcrafted, and you cannot buy these sheets anywhere. Millesimo is available only upon request.
3.) Frette Hellas Seaweed Border
The Italians are at it again. They have been leading the world in producing the finest fabrics for a long time. These sheets feature a cotton sateen weave with an Italian velvet-like texture.
2.) D. Porthault Jour De Paris
The French are not about to be outdone by the Italians. Their sheets are about $2000 a set. These organic cotton sheets feature a percale weave, but they are way beyond any kind of percale you may find at the most expensive department stores. In addition, each sheet has an elaborate hemstitch which is described as mesmerizing.
1.) Charlotte Thomas "Bespoke"
"And the Oscar goes to . . . " If a Bed Sheet Academy existed, this set would win it all. At over $2500 a set, these sheets are made from the finest merino wool, backed with silk jacquard. These merino, silk, and cotton sheets are handcrafted in the UK and fit for a King – or California King.
Why You Deserve Better Than Bed-In-a-Bag
If you're thinking about getting a new mattress, then you already know sleep is too important to mess around with. It's the same when it comes to bed linens and comforter sets. So if high-quality sleep is your goal, then your sheets are just as important as your mattress. The best sheets are not only comfortable, but they also help with temperature-regulating.
The Most Luxurious Comforters Ever
Here's something interesting that might recalibrate how much you think you should spend on fitted sheets, mattress pads, and other accouterments for your bed.
Loro Piana – Shhhhhh. It's just a rumor, but the word is Loro Piana makes a cashmere comforter priced at $14,000. Don't try to find it on their website. It's not there.
Duxiana – We can't verify this, but supposedly, Duxiana makes a Hungarian goose-down filled comforter or, shall we say, "duvet" that is reportedly more than $4,000!
"The Bundle" – Those who are truly "in the know" swear by this. We can't say another word. You are on your own.
Some Other "Luxuries" To Help You Sleep
Adjustable Bed Frames – There is no way to explain the difference an adjustable bed frame can make to your quality of sleep. We recommend you ask someone who has one. Watch how big a smile comes over their face when you ask them about life before and life after their adjustable bed.
Memory Foam and Hybrid Mattresses – The introduction of memory foam changed the mattress game forever. And now, hybrid mattresses have raised the bar even higher. Hybrid mattresses combine the best features of memory foam with specially engineered, multi-layer construction to keep you comfortable and cool during the night.
The Famous Family Bed – Have you heard of it? It's available 12 feet wide and 7 feet long. There's enough room for your whole family, including your furry friends. And don't worry about bed linens and accessories for this gigantic bed; The Bedding Mart has fitted sheets, comforters, mattress covers, and adjustable bases that are perfectly sized.
Do You Know Your Sleep Profile?
We all have one, although most of us have not taken the time to figure it out. It's a shame because how we sleep and what we can do to improve the quality of sleep is so important to both our physical health and our general state of mind. Don't think so? Think about what you're like with other people when you go through a couple of days without a night of restful sleep.
Are you a side sleeper or a stomach sleeper? Do you move around a lot at night? Is motion isolation important to you or your bedmate? Is temperature regulation during the night important to you? Do you have any aches or pains that might be aggravated by pressure points while you sleep? Do you deal with heartburn at night, or do you snore? An adjustable bed frame can help alleviate these conditions.
