You know the feeling: you just spent five minutes chasing all the corners of the elastic form-fitting bottom sheet around your bed and then you laid and tucked the top sheet tightly into the mattress. You found some pillow covers in the linen closet, squeezed and shook your pillows in there, put your blanket over all of it, took a deep breath, and then just dove right into the fresh, cold, mothball-smelling sheets.
New sheets are great because they don’t smell like The Sleeping You, with your armpit hair all squishing around in there all night, your drool leaking all over the pillows, and your crusty old feet flaking off into little piles of dead skin shavings at the foot of the bed. And let’s not forget the hot farts you pop out when you’re sleeping, too. Don’t deny it! We’re all disgusting when we’re asleep, and new bed sheets are great for letting us temporarily escape our own filth.
Really, only one thing can add to that new bed sheet feeling and that’s when it’s your first seasonal sleep in thin, cotton summer sheets or thick, linen winter sheets. As you close your eyes softly, crickets chirping outside your window, moonlight and tree branches shadow-dancing on the walls, you know right then and there: It’s going to be a good night.
AWESOME!

Awww man. I feel sleepy enough without you talking about crisp, comfy new sheets…
Zzzzz….
Such a great feeling. I don’t really know what else to say about it. Just… aaahhhhhhhhhh….
Oh, man. Yes, this always feels very, very nice. The first seasonal sleep is my favorite. Especially in winter.
Crisp cotton- Summertime, and the living is easy; cozy soft flannel- in the wintertime, fresh off the line, Simply the best!

First night in sheets fresh off the washline, smelling of summer…ahhhhh! Sweet dreams!
This is one of my favorite things! I sleep so much better when my OCD self is lying with perfectly tucked-in sheets and laser precise aligned comforter. For just one night they are exactly in the spot God intended them to be.
