The author of the article, Taylor Leamey, typically isn’t concerned with the cost of bedding as long as it is comfortable. However, they had the opportunity to try out the Celeste sheets from Sferra, a luxury linen brand known for its craftsmanship. These sheets are made from 100% extra-long staple cotton in Italy and are the most expensive set the author has ever used. The author was initially unsure of what to expect given the high price tag but found them to be comfortable yet similar to other high-quality percale sheets they have used.

With Sferra, each component of the bed sheets is purchased separately instead of as a set like most brands. The author received a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and a pair of pillowcases, bringing the total cost for queen-sized sheets to $867 before taxes. The Celeste sheets have the crispness typical of percale sheets, which the author prefers. The sheets are made from high-quality materials, such as Giza 45 Egyptian cotton and are produced in family-owned textile mills, contributing to their higher cost.

The author found sleeping on the Celeste sheets to be comfortable, thanks to the breathable and soft extra-long staple cotton construction. While the author didn’t experience a significant improvement in their sleep quality, they enjoyed the fresh feeling of the sheets. However, they felt that the sheets were similar to their other favorite percale sets at home, making it hard to justify the steep price tag. The author also noted the detailed care instructions provided by Sferra, which include specific washing and drying recommendations to prolong the lifespan of the sheets.

Despite the comfort and quality of the Celeste sheets, the author struggled to justify spending over $800 on them, especially since they couldn’t discern a significant difference from more affordable options. The care instructions, while ensuring the longevity of the sheets, may be more than the average person wants to deal with. The author found that the sheets were prone to wrinkles, and they questioned whether the extra effort was worth it. Overall, they believe that while the Celeste sheets are comfortable and made with high-quality materials, they are too similar to more affordable options to warrant the high price.

In conclusion, the author suggests that individuals who value products made from high-quality, raw materials and are willing to spend more on luxury bedding may enjoy the Sferra Celeste sheets. However, those looking for a more budget-friendly option or those who are not concerned about the material of their sheets may want to skip these high-priced sheets. The author’s experience with the Celeste sheets led them to question the value of spending over $800 on bedding, especially when more affordable options provide similar comfort and quality.
