The PERFECT Bed Sheets
(and other simple items)
Like owning underwear that are "dry clean only", some textile choices are simply stupid. Finding items that are easy to keep clean not only saves you a lot of time (and therefore cleaning costs), but also reduces wear and tear on your cleaning appliances.

The Perfect...
bed sheets
comforter (duvet cover)
Comforter Type: Washing a traditional comforter takes an astonishingly long time, and is likely to occupy your entire washer/dryer. So, I recommend a duvet with duvet cover. The duvet cover can be washed between each guest, with the duvet only requiring a wash every couple guests.
Quantity: Two for each bed. I recommend having one spare duvet cover for each bed, so when you do need to wash one, it doesn’t need to be rushed.
I've been using these duvet covers for four years now and they have held up great. They have ties in the corners to keep the the duvet properly aligned on the inside, and the colors have held up well across many washes. The classic blue pattern goes really well with my old New England home.
The yellow mixed in with the pattern of this duvet cover added a nice pop to the room. It has the same features as the one above, and has held up just as well. The material feels substantial, but still not "starchy".
