Bamboo Deliciousness

Travis and I have been wanting a new duvet cover for our bed for months now. We have a queen size bed, therefore we bought all queen size linens. Obviously. I don't know if it is because of the thick pillow top on the mattress or what, but the comforter never seems to cover us completely on the sides. So, when it came time to buy a new comforter for our bed (we put the old one on our "new" bed in the guest bed, courtesy of Chris and Alexa - thank you!) we got a king size. Since duvet covers are so expensive, we decided to forego purchasing one for the moment.

Last weekend we finally had enough extra money to make such a purchase. We shopped around at several stores and were unable to find one that we really loved. We ended up going home empty handed to see what we could find on the internet. We found one we like (not loved) at Bed Bath and Beyond for $180. I have a 20% off coupon, but it would still be a little too pricey for something we didn't love.

When we were searching Target.com, Travis recalled that our friends David and Stephanie bought their couches at Overstock.com and only had $4 for shipping and handling. Couches for godsakes! Half the reason I do not make very many purchases off the internet is because of the shipping costs. But $4 isn't bad! So we went to Overstock.com and found a duvet that we LOVED and since it was so cheap we decided to by new sheets too! In the end, we had all that with shipping costs for only $130!!! I am totally buying everything from that website now. EVERYTHING. If I find a t-shirt I like at the store, I'm going to wait to see if they have it on Overstock before I buy it. Seriously, it's that good of a deal.

We ordered everything last Sunday and we already received everything. It's on the bed and we slept on it for the first time last night. No drafts or anything! What do you think?


Thanks for the recommendation, Dave and Stephie!!
