Designer Bedsheets
Straits Times' Urban pages today, the nation's self-appointed purveyor of all things hip, did a cover on Designer Bed Sheets today and educated us on the differences between cotton percale, cotton jacquard, cotton sateen and pure linen('cotton percale is made from high quality cotton and is crisp and cool to touch, launders well, lasting and durable, cotton jacquard comes with an alternating matt-sateen pattern in the fabric, cotton sateen made from a finer thread than percale and pure linen for its crispness, coolness and breathability). I'm not familiar with the terms but cotton percale comes closest amongst the options above vis a vis what I'm looking for in my bedsheets. I love Egyptian cotton- and sadly, not all egyptian cotton is the same(don't ask me why- it just doesn't feel the same) and as far as I'm concerned, threadcount does matter.
A neophyte running her fingers through the sheets at Takashimaya's bedlinen section whenever there's a sale, my favourite is Karen Neuberger's. This year, Armani Casa comes close- I love the colours and the coolness of the sheets come close to Karen Neuberger's but I'd take Karen Neuberger's odd spacey blue colours(the brand does have white, but I will not live with two whites) than the fashionably muted tones of Armani's. Karen Neuberger's website looks like it caters more to the Martha Stewart crowd but nothing in my takashimaya finger-running experience beats the cool, crisp, amazingly high threadcount sheets. A salesman ran the threadcount by me- was particularly impressed but I daren't recall it online in case my memory reveals a tendency to exaggerate
I do not understand the deal with Frette other than its particularly inspired marketing point-of-experience(is that a new marketing term?) with boutique hotels and I do tend to remember houses with Frette linens;-)
All white Modern
I like this the best by far. The alternating images of the blindfolded guy and the legs peeping out of the bed- couldn't have asked for a better mashup.
Fengshui'd modern
The soundtrack might be a little corny but I liked the acid-trippy backgrounds that seem to accompany it.
