It’s always fun to try new products, especially when you view the products online, and see thousands of online reviews. You simply can’t resist right?! I like many of you HAD to try them. I was in the market for new sheets, luxury Sheets is something I should totally have in my life, after all, we do spend 1/3 of our lives in bed! Well it is Fall time and a good time to change our sheets.

I am writing about Brooklinen, a “direct-to-consumer” company that’s making high-end bedding at a reasonable price. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to purchase the sheets online. They come in a variety of patterns and colors and collections. I myself, am an “all white sheet” kind of gal, but I could not resist the stripes and chose the Luxe Core Sheet Set which included 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 2 pillowcases. There are many different options, but these fit my needs and were in my price range.

Right off the bat I was given a discount code which I applied at checkout, and received free shipping. I believe the sheets arrived within a week, and were on time, which I appreciate! I received numerous emails from the company letting me know where the product was in process, and when they should arrive. They notified me as soon as they shipped as well.

As soon as the product arrived, I opened up the super cute packaging! I love the Brooklinen Bag, all the sheets fit perfectly inside. The website does say to wash before use, which is what I did. The sheets seemed very stiff to me, and I love a very SOFT sheet. I washed them which did help a little bit. The website says these particular sheets are slightly heavier and softer than their Classic Line. The Luxe Core Sheet set has a 480 thread count, and seem like they will hold up for a long time.

Brooklinen sets a great tone with the arrival of the sheets. They come in a nice box, tucked away in a tote bag. Obviously the quality of the sheet matters most, but the box shows they are definitely aware of the importance of the small touches.

After sleeping in the sheets for a week now, here are my thoughts. For one, these are very crisp, clean feeling sheets. They actually stay pretty cool to touch. I was very pleased with that. I can tell that this set will hold up, and last longer than my previous purchase. The reason I was in the market for a new sheet set was because our older ones were worn down. I see Brooklinen’s lasting a very long time. The company is great with returns, they do allow you to try the sheets for 60 days. I don’t plan on returning mine at all.

Brooklinen also sells comforters and pillows, along with other sheet collections! I am going to be looking into purchasing a comforter from them in the next 6 months, and will keep you updated on this as well! Let me know if you give them a try, I would love to hear your opinion on these Luxury Sheets!

One of my favorite aspects of Brooklinen’s product line is the super simplistic product offering – the sheets are available in white and gray, and can either be striped, windowpane, or solid. All of the options are very handsome in a minimalistic sort of way, and would make mixing and matching a breeze. Brooklinen also carries comforters and some wonderful blankets from Pendleton, an Oregon company that is very dear to my heart.

Core sets of Brooklinen’s classic sheets start at $99, and the hardcore bundles start at $164. So if you’re like I was and have been using the same set of sheets since college, consider giving yourself an affordable upgrade with Brooklinen. I’m already planning on ordering another set, and fortunately I can do that from the comfort of the sheets I already own.

Some things to note before you make your decision:

The fitted sheet easily fit my 11” mattress. They claim it can fit up to a 15” mattress, and from what I can tell, that appears to be true.
The sheets soften after washing them each time.
The buttons on the duvet cover were a bit small and hard for me to handle, but ultimately made them much less visible than other duvet covers I tried.
The duvet cover also has ties in the corners so that the insert does not slide around.
The pillow cases have a great flap design that keeps the pillows in their place.

The sheets I got felt great, and I think it’s a really compelling offering considering the price. I would recommend to think hard about the type of feel you like to make sure you know whether you should get the Classic or the Luxe. Either way, I think Brooklinen is a great option for someone looking for luxury sheets without breaking the bank.

The is also a total treat to spark during your most relaxing moments. These four 3.5-ounce votives are each filled with soy wax, and their scents are both transportive and soothing. “Wake” evokes the smell of ocean spray, “Afternoon Delight” is reminiscent of a stroll through a tomato farmhouse, “Magic Hour” is a romantic whiff of a sunlit rose garden, and “Nightcap” muddles the aromas of bourbon and blood orange together. Altogether, this collection makes up one dreamy day.

If you are looking for new sheets for the Fall or for the Holidays to use in your room or your guest rooms. This is the perfect alternative. Your guests are going to feel like they are staying in a top hotel.

A week ago I was lucky enough to attend an event and spend some time chatting with the pr rep for a line of bedding that I know all of you are going to love.

With the holidays coming up, we are all stressing about the relatives and friends visiting and getting our guest rooms and bedrooms looking perfect for them. We all want our guests to feel like they are staying in a 5 star hotel, but sometimes we don’t know how to create that look and ambience. I for one always have trouble getting things to match correctly and I want to make sure that my guests are comfortable.

I know many people dread sheet shopping and having to deal with the crowds and finding those perfect sheets and with the holidays, this is one thing that you can cross off your list. Brooklinen, a new site offering beautifully, well made sheet sets in go with anything modern fabrics.

We can all agree that high-quality sheets are a solid investment. A little bit of splurge pays off for the place where we spend a third of our lives. It’s one thing to spend some cash on bedding, it is another to have to go into debt to do it. Brooklinen, a Brooklyn-based upstart founded to bring people beautiful, comfortable sheets at a reasonable price.

Brooklinen was founded in 2014, by a husband and wife who simply wanted a good set of sheets. All they could find was a marketplace where quality came with a price. Rich and Vicki took a startup approach and found out what made the sheets so expensive. The answers were overhead expenses, like middlemen, storefronts, manufacturing and other things that had nothing to do with the sheets.

It is not often that you get an opportunity to ask poignant questions to the one of the co-founders, but I got the chance to ask Vicky Fulop some and here responses were insightful and profound. I wanted to share them with you.

1. What makes you proud of this brand?

I’m proud of the fact that Rich and I have been able to bring our creative vision to life and have people fall in love with it! Our customers and community really get it and love Brooklinen products, and it feels crazy that that is real. I’m also proud that we’ve created jobs (we’ve grown from 2 people to 18 in the past year). I never imagined that I would have the privilege to make a living by sharing something I design with people, or be able to create even one job, so that and the passion people have for our products is incredibly rewarding and humbling.

2. Why did you start the brand?

We started the brand a little over two years ago because we couldn’t find what we were personally searching for – beautiful, luxurious bedding that didn’t cost a fortune. We felt stuck between two options – very expensive high-end sheets that cost $500+, or big-box stores where the options were confusing and often misrepresenting the quality of the product (via soft-touch coatings that wash off, “creative math” thread counts, and so on).

We began talking to friends and shoppers, as well as researching the industry, and discovered that many people felt the same way we did. We also found that retailers were selling bedding at up to a 10x markup, and that we could cut out the middlemen and create a well-designed, high-end product at a much better price. So we set out to do just that – our goal was to deliver something that was beautiful and effortless, leaving you with money to burn.

3. Where do you see the brand going in the future?

I’d love to continue to make beautiful, high-end products accessible in ways they were not before! We’ve got some exciting things up our sleeve, stay tuned :).

The Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Set Set provides an impressively cohesive, all in one offering of buttery smooth pillowcases and a flat sheet and fitted sheet. What makes this set extra special is the 480 thread count sateen weave which gives it that ultra-luxurious feel. These sheets are as soft as a baby’s bottom.

Let’s face it sheets take a beating, so they have to be strong. These sheets are just that, the sheets hold up to repeated use and indeed become softer as you wash them.

You will also appreciate some of the little details the fitted sheets have; hidden little tags that indicate long side/short side. The pillowcases have flaps so the pillows actually stay in them. These are the things that make this company so unique that fact that they came up with these tools to help customers.

The sheets are sold in sets, and until recently only in solid colors, however, the company just launched a polka dot line that is fabulous. The polka dots come in smoke dot, sand dot and navy dot. Just adding a little color to the white sheet, but allowing you the option to decorate your room anyway you like it. Check them out here: https://www.brooklinen.com/collections/luxe-sateen-sheets/products/luxe-core-sheet-set?variant=32226685638

The great thing about this line is that you could also get the Luxe Hardcore Sheet Bundle, which includes the pillowcases, fitted and flat sheet but also includes a duvet cover and two additional pillowcases. You are going to love the duvet cover it has hidden buttons for closing the duvet over edge, inner corner ties to keep your duvet from scrunching down into the cover.

Well since it is the holidays, you are probably going to want to add a nice comforter to that bed. The Brooklinen Light weight down comforter is perfect. It is filled with breathable 600 fill power white Canadian down and is light enough to leave on your bed even in warmer months.

I expected to be paying premium for the convenience but it turns out that the prices are better than the ones you can find at other places, and you know how I am about saving money. The sets start at just $99 and top out at $389.

If you are ready to impress those holiday guests of yours then you need to check out this line, you will be so happy that you did, that you will return to the website to purchase additional pieces again and again. Now let’s see if it will help me sleep better at night.
