Fluffy Bedding

I loved flopping onto down comforters in store displays and feeling like a puffy cloud encapsulated me. When I made my list of dreams, I thought about how many times I’d window shopped in fancy home stores fingering the soft down blankets.

Four months after I made my list of dreams, a friend went to India. Though he knew nothing about the list or my dream to have fabulous bedding, he returned with the gift of two beautiful duvet covers.

Money was tight. I’d just bought my home and was in the middle of renovating, but I decided that since he’d provided me with the beautiful covers I needed to find the fluffy blankets I desired.

A week later, I was at a discount home store looking for towel racks. As I walked past the bedding section, a salesperson almost dropped a blanket onto my head missing me by inches. It was a luxurious comforter and I assumed it would be over two hundred dollars even at the discounted price. It didn’t have a tag and there was only one other, so I asked the salesperson. She couldn’t find any information on the comforters so she picked up a down alternative blanket that cost forty dollars and said she’d give me the luxurious ones for the same price. I questioned her and showed her the difference in the blankets.

“I practically dropped one on you. You can have it for forty,” she said.

I took them home, fluffed them over my bed, and jumped on top. A cloud of comfort puffed around me. At night I feel like a princess when I crawl into bed and I love it.
