California Design Den Bed Sheets Review

Thank you to California Design Den for partnering with me to bring you this review post! Financial compensation was received for this post and a sample product was gifted. Ideas and opinions expressed here are my own. This post may also contain affiliate links, click here to read my disclosure policy.

I try to live my life frugally as much as possible. For me, I don't need those expensive brands of makeup, name brand clothing, or fancy jewelry. I shop at Goodwill and get my name brand clothes second-hand. I find that the less expensive brands of makeup work just fine for me, and I just don't wear a lot of jewelry anyway.

But one time, years ago, I received a set of 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets as a gift and I was hooked! I just couldn't believe how soft they were! I eventually wore them out and I just couldn't bring myself to spend the amount of money that they charge for high-end sheets! Heck, if I'm being honest I have a hard time paying for cheap sheets! But ever since then I have longed for those super soft sheets.

Recently I was approached by California Design Den asking if I would like to review a set of their 100% cotton sheets.


I agreed because truthfully I needed some new sheets 😏

But oh my goodness, I am so glad I took them up on the offer! Right from the get-go, I was impressed! They came packaged in a plastic, zippered bag just like most sheets but then, when I unfolded them a cute little envelope flipped out!


What's this I thought... maybe it's just me but this is the first time I've ever received a thank you note inside my sheets! It's the little things like this that make something stand out above the rest.

The note talks about how the sheets are made, gives you a way to contact them should anything be wrong, and there is a QR code to scan with your phone to go directly to their store! There is another card that has care instructions too!


Once I was ready to put them on my bed I found a little tag on the fitted sheet...

It says "head/foot"... well, color me impressed! I find it most annoying when I try to put the fitted sheet on and I have it facing the wrong direction! Again... #littlethings!


Then it came time for bed...


I crawled in and it was like those luxuriously comfortable sheets I had from years ago! 😍


I chose black sheets because my bedroom walls are black and I thought it just felt luxurious and fancy to have black sheets to match!


While we are here, talking about sheets, I'm going to show you how to make a bed with hospital corners!

My mom taught me to make my bed this way and it's how I've always done it... my ex-husband hated it! Mwuahahaha! 😈

First, put on the fitted sheet, then the top sheet on top of that. Tuck in the foot of the top sheet.


Then grab the bottom, side of the top sheet close to the foot area...


...and drape it up over the top like so and tuck in the side piece that is still hanging down...


Now fold that part that you draped over the top of the mattress back down.


And then tuck that in as well. Repeat that process on the other side and now you have a fancy fold technique to go with these fancy sheets should you choose to buy some!


If you haven't already figured it out, I am really impressed with these sheets! They are really nicely made, feel like you are sliding in between two clouds, and they have those little extras that make it a "sheet experience"! lol!
