We're not saying you shouldn't indulge in things like luxury sheets every now and then. We're just saying, never take them for granted.

On the day you receive these 100% Egyptian Cotton Sheets from Home.Woot, after you have fitted the 15"-deep fitted sheet pocket to your mattress, I want you to do something for me. I want you to crawl into bed and pull the 600 thread count sheets up around you. I want you to snuggle in real good, and let the stresses of the day just melt away. And as the extra silky and soft sateen weave caresses your bare skin, I want you to close your eyes ... and think ... of this ...

Look at it. I said LOOK AT IT. That's right. Just drink it all in. There you go. Now ... take a moment to reflect on it. Play the image over and over in your mind until it's burned in there for good. Every time you close your eyes, I want this to be the first image you see. You know, I think maybe you should take another look. You know, just so it REALLY gets in there ...

Now, the next time you even think about complaining that your sheets are too rough or that those long, Egyptian cotton fibers aren't long or strong or durable enough, I want you to recall the shriveled, lifeless remains of this person who never had it so good as you do right now. I want you to really consider this dusty shell of a formerly plump and vibrant human being, her fragile corpse wrapped in shreds of coarse burlap potato sacks, forgotten, and left to rot and decay in a cold, lonely pine box for all eternity ...

OK then. Nitey nite! Sleep tight! Don't let the bedbugs or tortured souls of the less fortunate bite!
