Do You Have Patterned Pillowcases?

CasaSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:00:45 -0700

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel's characters in (500) Days of Summer found their patterned pillowcases to be quite smoochworthy, as you can see. Me? I've always been a white linen kind of gal. How about you?

TV Pillowcase For Boob Tube Addicts

GeekSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:00:53 -0800

After hearing Oprah say that she refuses to have a television in the bedroom, I guiltily placed my flatscreen at the end of my bed during my last apartment move. I know, bad feng shui, energy, whatever you want to call it, but how great is it when a good Netflix movie arrives and you get to crawl into your cozy bed and watch it - chip crumbs and all?! This product may be my next best option - or a good Oprah option - the Eight Hours of Fame Pillowcase. Made from Egyptian cotton, this TV-imprinted case gives you your TV fix, while you sleep. No word on pricing.

Love It or Leave It: People I've Slept With Pillowcase

DearSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

I don't need to tell you that the Internet is a bizarre place. It doesn't take much time to stumble upon weird sites or products, and it seems that anything having to do with sex is especially popular. Just recently I came upon this gem - it's an Everyone I've Slept With Pillowcase ($50). It serves two purposes. It can help you keep a record of everyone who's spent the night at your place (you know, in case you can't remember). But it also acts as a bold declaration to the world of what happens between your sheets (for those who like to share).

Can you imagine showing up at someone's house, being handed a Sharpie, and seeing this huge list of names?! Personally, I like to keep this kind of information to myself, but what's your take? Do you love the idea of this pillowcase, or do you think it's completely absurd?

Love It or Hate It? Love Pillowcase Set

Although Love Shack month is officially over, I still have to ask if you love to love this Urban Outfitters Love Pillowcase Set ($24). To me, it looks like a bad photocopy that is bleeding, which is far from romantic. I'd hate to skew your response, but I wouldn't choose to lay my head on it, let alone bring it near my house.

Health Tip: Buy New Pillows

I just want to remind you of a disgustingly true fact. Dust mites live off the dead skin cells that you shed. So guess where they love to lurk? In your bed. Yup, as you sleep, your skin sloughs off and works its way down into your mattresses and pillows. If the air in your room is humid (which in the warm weather it most likely is), dust mites get into your bed and your pillows and happily multiply into large colonies.Your own body creates heat as you breathe and perspire, and they love that too. There can be as many as 30,000 tiny dust mites living in just 1 oz of dust, and you are allergic to their poop.

With that said, let me ask you this - Can you remember the last time you changed your pillows? If you can't, now is the time to buy some new ones.

If you don't already have them, you can pick up dust mite pillowcases ($16.95) and encase your new pillows in them. If you recently bought new pillows, you can still use these special pillowcases, since not only do they not allow dust mites to get into your pillow, but they'll trap existing dust mites as well.

Fit's Tips: You can also pick up dust mite mattress covers ($114.95 for Queen Size). They keep dust mites trapped and won't allow in new critters.

This image just makes me itch all over. Yes it is magnified a bunch! But still...makes me want to get new pillows. How about you? Tell me in the comments section below.

Not in the mood to get it on? Say it with sheets! These Screw Me, Silly/Dream On . . . Pillowcases ($24) from Etsy seller Crumbsonthesheets use fancy embroidery to communicate your true desires. I love that "screw me, silly" could be read as "screw me silly" without the comma. Either way, some nights, sleep wins.

Do You Have Embroidered Pillowcases?

My mom recently gave me these embroidered pillowcases. I have a special place in my heart for embroidered pillowcases, since my mother and aunties are great embroiderers. Do you have embroidered pillowcases in your home?

ECOWEEN: Pillowcase Trick-or-Treat Sacks

LilSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 12:10:23 -0700

When it comes to carting home candy, children have a lot of options - plastic bags and containers, even noise-making plush handled pumpkins or cardboard carriers. But for moms and dads that want to save money and have their wee ones get more mileage out of their treat sacks, use pillowcases. They hold more trinkets and sweets than the other options and can be slipped under your tot's head to lull them to sleep.

You're probably busy with a lot on your plate: exercise, kids, dog, work, grocery shopping, socializing, etc. I'm sure you barely have enough time to shower every day, let alone do all those little household things you're supposed to do like wash out your garbage can (eww mold) and vacuum under your bed (sneaky dust bunnies). Changing my sheets goes along with that, too. In a perfect world, I'd put fresh sheets on the bed once a week, but realistically speaking, I admit that doesn't always happen. For my face's sake though, I definitely make sure to at least change my pillowcase every Sunday. Just think about all the oils, hair products, lotions, (and drool) that come off your head and onto your pillow. All that gunk can clog your pores and cause breakouts. Prevent acne breakouts by changing your pillowcase at least once a week. If you can, toss your entire pillow into the dryer to kill bacteria that collects in there.
