A couple of Christmases my folks gave me an awesome Egyptian cotton duvet and pillow set. There was no better feeling than climbing under the freshly ironed duvet and resting my head on the crisp, cool pillow.
Until I had to iron it myself that is.
Egyptian cotton it turns out is VERY high maintenance and drys all wrinkled no matter how you hang it. "How hard can it be to iron a duver cover?" I thought to myself. Good thing I was unemployed because an HOUR AND A HALF later I was still ironing the frikkin' thing. Just when I thought I was nearly done I would pull the cover around and expose an entire area that I hadn't even seen. No wonder everyone in this country buys fabrics that you don't have to iron!
Something tells me this might be one of the last times I sleep in ironed bedding.
