  1. All of us hear this, but we don't like to acknowledge it when we see beautifully packaged linens that advertise high thread counts and Eg*p^ian Cotton. Steve's video gives a clear explanation of the difference. Thank you! "Luxury Linens Vs. Warehouse Club Bed Linens" Judyb@knot10.com

  2. Thank you for introducing me to Vero Linens! Steve is likeable and trustworthy and his videos are very informative as well as pretty fun to watch. I ended up watching five of them and learned a lot. My favorite video was the one on how to wash your down comforter properly because I learned that he uses bleach! I've always followed the no bleach rule but will now use a little when washing my comforter.
    I'm going to buy his sheets! Thanks again, ellie.dewitt@gmail.com

  4. I've always looked longingly at Vero Linens and have watched many of their videos. Today I watched the one on thread count...always a pet peeve of mine when I try to explain to friends that it can be misleading. Very informative! Best, Beth C.

  41. Oh, thank you Joni and Vero Linens for the wonderful giveaway! I ended up watching most of the very informative videos...who knew!? I especially liked the ones pertaining to pillows..are mine making me sick? I loved the how-to on washing a down comforter, as well. Thanks again!
    BTW...how are you enjoying this new season of Outlander? I just finished the 6th book and will probably spend way too many late nights reading the next one...difficult to put down..Loved the second episode!

  42. I learned about mercerization and why it's a good thing. I learned that I should not be washing my sheets in hot water and detergent. I watched videos on making a bed look like a five star hotel bed and how to get wrinkles out of sheets. Once I started watching the videos, I couldn't stop and I've signed up for their newsletter so I don't forget about them. Thank you Joni and Vero Linens for this introduction to a beautiful product (and giveaway)!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Many good videos on Vero Linens site, lots of helpful information. So far I liked how to properly make a bed and tips on buying towels. Thanks for this great giveaway!

  44. I already made my comment but want to add another. I was looking around the products offered, and it seems there are no full size (double) or twin size (regular or extra long) offered. I wonder if these are special orders or just not available.

  51. Hi Joni,

    I always learn something when I read your blog and today was no different! I started with watching Steve teach "how to make your bed look like a 5 star hotel" and then I couldn't stop - next was how to put a duvet cover on a down comforter which looked so easy when he did it...me not so much! Next I watched "different types of pillow fillings and then marked their site in my favorites. So much good info! Thanks for sharing and for the chance at the giveaway!

  52. I watched the majority of these a few weeks ago, and re-watched some of them now. Mostly the ones dealing with why Vero is a good investment, costs, and comparissons. I am really wanting to purchase sheets, and the 15% off may just be the time to do it :) - jayjensen3@hotmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  53. THANK YOU Joni and Steve of Vero Linens for this promotion - the videos are so informative and I must share with my sisters and friends! I watched the video regarding minimizing wrinkles when washing bed sheets: try adding baking soda, use a gentle linen-friendly detergent, unfurl the sheets in the washer and dryer, and don't let the linens "bake" in the dryer. I want to watch every video now and try the Vero sheets! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I watched the video on thread count ,very informative. Who knew!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Who knew! Not me ;) I've watched several videos so far and each one I learned something new. Watching Steve make the perfect bed convinced me I need to invest in Vero linens and that the simple, extra care he described in laundering will probably help me get a more restful sleep. Something that's been missing in my aging years! The videos on the types of pillows and caring for them really were great too! Need them as well lol. Thank you Joni for introducing me to Vero's linens!

So interesting. Thank you for pointing us to this resource! Hill jlpelmel343@gmail.com
